Hi, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new release. I have two cards to share that have a peek-a-boo opening that holds a gift…
For the first card…
I laid out sentiments from THIS, THIS, and THIS stamp set on a gray A2 panel in my MISTI. I used THIS to help me align all of the stamps straight. I stamped all the sentiments at once using THIS ink creating a text background. I die-cut THIS die from the center of the panel but I left out the top part of the die from the top cutting plate…
This prevents the top from cutting and I was able to score there instead, creating a hinge for the piece to open…
I adhered the panel down to a one of THESE notecards that I covered in green patterned paper using THIS foam tape. It gives a pop of color to the inside of the opening. This creates a spot to place a gift for the recipient. For this card, I used money as a an example…
I finished off the card design by stamping and coloring one of the snow globe images from THIS stamp set. I used THESE coordinating dies to cut it out and adhered it towards the bottom of the opening to give a good place for the recipient to open the flap. I also adhered one of THESE sentiment strips underneath.
For the second card…
I did the exact same process as the first card, but switched up the colors and the snow globe image. I stamped the text using THIS ink on THIS card stock.
For both snow globe images, I added “snow” using THIS white gel pen and added THIS on top for some shine…
Another gift idea for the peek-a-boo opening is a gift card…
You could also put a photo inside!
I hope this inspires you to do some partial die-cutting and create a peek-a-boo opening. The Holidays are just around the corner and it’s a perfect way to make your gift extra special.
Also, try using sentiments or small images from different stamp sets to create a custom background.
