Happy Thanksgiving Card with Dies R Us




Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun interactive card featuring Lawn Fawn Products.

This is the card I created. The second image shows the hidden Chickie and sub-sentiment.



Let's get started.

I stamped, colored, fussy cut the images. I die cut all the components for the card.

Next, I start assembling the card. I adhered the trees first because I need to die cut the slot for the pull tab through the tree layer. I line up the slot die with the notch at the top of the card and run it through my Crossover II die-cutting machine.
 

Then, it's time to work on the pull tab. I first fold on the scoreline close to the long pull handle. I fold inwards towards the pull handle. Then, I fold on the next scoreline away from the handle.
 

Next, I slip the pull handle through the slot I created on the card panel. I then cover the folded section with adhesive and placed a piece of pattern paper onto it. *Note: I covered the fold section because my image is smaller than the folded section. If your image is the same size or a bit larger than skip this part.
 

Then, I folded on the scorelines of the pull handle holder. * Not sure if that's the real name for this piece but it's what I am calling it for now.

I adhere it to the back of the card panel beneath the pull handle. Making sure the handle is straight. Then, I wrap the handle holder around the handle and adhered the small tab onto the larger one.
 

Then, I adhered the first layer of grass using foam adhesive. Making sure that the pull handle mechanism isn't obstructed. 
 

Next, I trim off the extra of the pull handle. I do this by checking with my image is well covered by the first layer of grass. I then adhered the decorative arrow tab to the top of the pull handle.
 

Then, I adhered the top layer of grass. I gathered all my images and start decorating my card by creating the little Forest Feast.
 

Once, my scene is adhered in place I then add my sentiment to the top left corner of the panel. I just tucked it under my trees to anchor it to the scene. I then adhered the card front panel to a Kraft card base to complete my card.
