• Cheery Lynn Designs Grass Border (B126)

I presented this card in the following challenges:

Study Desk Pop Up Card Templates and Instruction Video (from Back to School Post)

This is a similar card I made for the instruction video.

 

 View from a slightly different angle. 

Link to the templates:

1) Study Desk Pop Up Card Template A4 Size

2) Study Desk Pop Up Card Template Letter Size

Instruction Video

My apology for the too close camera angle.  I am still trying to figure why the output is different from what I have seen on my Mac screen.  If you have any suggestion/answer, I would truly appreciate them. 

Please feel free to use the design for non commercial purpose.  Please contact me if you are planning to use it for charity purpose.

Hope you enjoy making this card and I look forward to seeing your creation.

First glance at the card where the couple are holding hands. 

 

 

Once the doily (tab) is pulled up, they lean towards each others shoulders and the sentence "Treasure each moment together" is revealed.

 

My first attempt in creating an animation to demonstrate how the effect of the pull mechanism.
