I've been glued to my TV watching the Olympic Games!!! My card-making have been slightly ignored...LOL. Have finally managed to get this one done. I've been working on it for several days.
This is a peek-a-boo card. My first!!! I saw Dawn's video tutorial on YouTube, HERE, for a smaller-sized card. Using the same concept, I've been trying to create a 6" x 6" card. Revising her measurements wasn't as easy as I thought. I've attempted a card a few times--and discarded them...LOL--before I had one that I can show you. This is how my card finally turned out.
This is Tilda With Corn from Magnolia's Turning Leaves Collection 2012.
Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious on-line store. Diana has both full-size and mini stamps. Check out also the selection of cutting dies from Memory Box, PoppyStamps, Magnolia doohickey, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn, as well as other crafting tools.
This peek-a-boo card is what I call a mechanical card. As you open the card, the first image is replaced by second image. This is how it works...
This is so cool. I think this is going to be one of my fave type of cards. A very fun card to play with--just opening and closing, opening and closing...LOL.
The card looks like this from the top.

Do you have a degree in Math? How you make such awesome cards that are very different, like this one, is amazing. I love the different designs that you do and this one is just the best, I love it!
Hi Norma! I just watched the You Tube video on making a peek-a-boo card and I did warn you that I would ask you to do a tutorial using your measurements. Love the You Tube video but it is kind of small and I would like your version. Hope you can find time!! Look forward to seeing your tutorial as you explain step and step and they come out perfect!! You rock girl!!
Hi Norma!
Not sure if my brain could work this one out. your card is beautiful. I love the papers and flowers.
I did look on Utube at Dawns card. you are so clever to adjust the size.
Lovely coloring.
Hugs maz
