Supplies:
- Shine Bright Stamp Set
- Memento black ink
- Black cardstock with a white back (or color of your choosing) *I used a double-sided black/white carstock for my card. It was Coordination Cardstock and purchase in store at Joann Fabrics by the sheet.
- white cardstock
- Ink jet transparency
- Alcohol markers
- Screw top brads
- 1/8″ score tape
- Shimmer cardstock
- Metal gear charms
- Washi tape
- Rectangle dies (optional-you can use a craft knife and ruler)
- Mini paper trimmer
- Hot glue (or wet glue)
- Ribbon
- Stapler
Follow the directions in the video to make this card. It is a simple concept but it can be a bit fussy. It really is a fun card to make though:) If you don’t have the inkjet transparency you can use a regular overhead transparency or any clear plastic packaging you have saved (like that window on the macaroni box!) and stamp your design with staz-on ink OR if you have a steady hand you can place the transparency over the image you stamped on white and trace it with a fine tip Sharpie. Make it work with what you have and save up for the awesome stuff you really want:) I hope you give this technique a try and til next time happy crafting!

Love the card, but am a little confused as to how to get the two layers inside the card so it works.

Fascinating trick!
I wonder if a bit of baby powder would help let the layers inside slide easier?

Lindsay, you trickster! 😀
PS.: I think making hinges on both sides will make the card slide better because it won’t be able to lock itself at an angle.

Thank you, Lindsay! I have always wanted to know how to make these “magic” cards and you have cleared up the mystery! Also, my plan is that as I make mine I am going to take careful notes and make a Cricut Design Space file for the structure so I will always be able to make these at a minimum of work!
