I asked my husband to give me ideas for an interactive card for a man. He suggested trees, animals and flaps. This is what I created based on his suggestions.
I started with the die cutting the flaps. Then I embossed the paper. Next I placed a piece of Ivory behind the flaps and traced with pencil. Next I stamped the critters where they would be behind the flaps. I colored them with alcohol markers giving them ground and sky. Next was deciding on words. I found a few words from the Simply Celebrate Critters sets and stamped them on the speech bubbles. The bubbles all connect, so I drew the lines to enclose a few of them.
I hope John has fun with the interactive cards he receives.

Very cute and very fun! I thought of doing something like this but saw frustration in my future and ran. Yours came out so well. Great critters and encouraging words. Hugz

This takes me back to the window books my kids enjoyed. I think we never get too old to want to peek behind the door or curtain to see what surprise is there. Very nicely executed.
