Hello my crafty friends
Here is the card opened!
This is a standard tall A2 card, and while it looks like there is a lot of room for adding embellishments, if they are taller than 2" they will stick out the bottom of the card when it is closed. Using the rectangle dies worked well for this A2 card, but if you are going to try this technique, try making a longer card to give you a little more room for decorating.
I thought you might like to see what the Train Pivot Panel looks like when it's attached inside the card. I cut it from kraft, then cut the top and bottom panels (here, the right and left sides) from patterned paper scraps and adhered them over the kraft to make them blend in a little better.
Yesterday I shared a card that uses the new Train Pivot Panel as a generic pop up platform, and I was so excited about this idea that I made 3 more cards. Today I am sharing the second card and the remaining two will be shared here next week.
I kept the front nice and simple, with some western print patterned paper and this fun Riley the Moose stamp. While I am not crazy about how I coloured his face, I still just ADORE this Riley stamp.
