A Peek-a-Boo Card Tutorial by Bibi Cameron

Hi and welcome to the Tonic Craft Room with me Bibi Cameron.

Today we will be showing you how to create a delightful moving flower card using the Peek-a-Boo Die Set that's available now on the Tonic Store.

Preparation

Step 1

Die-cut all the pieces for the card.

Step 2

Identify main die cuts to make the card mechanism.

Step 3

Glue decorative (intricate) die cuts over main pieces (backing die-cuts)

Step 4

Use a bond folder to shape the leaves a little bit. This will ease the movement of the Peek-a-Boo mechanism.

Assembling the Mechanism

Step 1

Place the holes in the leaves facing down and align the first hole with the hole in the pull tab.

Step 2

Use brads to affix the leaves to the pull-up tab.

Step 3

Insert the pull-up tap in the slits of the mechanism background panel.

Step 4

Align the second hole of each leaf with the little holes in the mechanism background panel and use brads to secure it in place.

Step 5

Glue the flower over the circular top part of the pull-up tab.

The Peek-a-Boo mechanism is done!

Let's Decorate

Step 1

Identify decorative die-cuts:

  • To cover the mechanism
  • To embellish the pull-up tap
  • To decorate corners
  • To add sentiments
Step 2

Glue in place.

The Peek-a-Boo topper is now complete and you can add it to any project.

Peek-a-Boo in Action

Pull up the tab to see the flower peeking through.

Pull down the tab to hide the flower behind the leaves.

To adhere this Peek-a-Boo piece to a card, add adhesive at the back with exception of the area that moves (the pull-up tab).

You can adhere this Peek-a-Boo piece directly on the card base or you can glue it on a backing panel made out of scrapbook paper or card stock and then glue onto a card base.

This card base measures 5x7 inches but you can make smaller or larger cards.

For a C6 American card base ( 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches) or an A6 British card base, you will need an envelope larger than the card.

The minimum envelope size for a C6 card should be around 4-1/4 x 6 -1/2 inches.

Thank you for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed the demonstration and have as much fun as I did with the fabulous Peek-a-Boo Die Sets.
