My granddaughter's 18th birthday is today, and this is the card I made for her.
It's a very simple, die-cut design on the front of this 4 1/2" X 6" card. I used my computer to print out the sentiment and popped it up on foam tape. The fun part is on the inside.
When you open the card, a mechanism swings two small, square panels out from behind the popped up oval. This sentiment was also printed with my computer.
This is what the card looks like on the inside when it is fully opened. I added a pocket on the left for a cash gift.
I added a die-cut image on a small circle to each of the pop-out squares, keeping with the theme of "cool."
Isn't that a fun mechanism? I actually saw a video that used a die that cut and scored the mechanism. I saw how it was done, guessed at the measurements and created one for myself...and it worked perfectly!
I love making interactive cards, and this is one I will make again...if I can find that little slip of paper where I wrote down the measurements I used. LOL
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Wow! that is so cute and fun. I bet your granddaughter's favorite color is purple just like you. Opening it up is quite a surprise. You did a good job of figuring out how to make that work.
What a fun card! That mechanism looks like fun - hope you can find your little slip of paper! Great card, and Happy elated birthday to your granddaughter!
