How to Make an Open Hands Gift Card: Part 4

Hi, I'm Karen, for Expert Village. Then when you have your design cut out, you want to pinch forward the foggy bit and the outside bit and the second layer, is going to go back, so you just want to fold that all up, it sort of looks strange but when it's in the card, it will all fit. That's your pop-up bit now we're going to place it into the hand card and you want to place the design, the fold of the insert or pop-up insert, exactly along the folds of the hands. If you want, you can bend the hands and bend the pop-up thing, to make sure that you're lined up, and then we're going to fold back the tab, like that and make a slice, here, where the tab is going to go in. Slice it on that side and then go to the other side and again, make a slice. The tab is going to fit right in there and you want it to be even with the edge of the heart, so we flipped up the tab, to get it out of the way, and then sliced, like that. Now, we'll insert the tabs into the slots that we just cut, on there and one there. Now just pinch your folds again and we'll test it out, before we glue it down. This is what it should look like, with a little bit of a tab, sticking out on either end. Now, we're just going to secure the tabs and hide them so you just want to put a dab of glue, under the tab, like that and I like to just take the same color, that I used to make the hands, and cut out a little heart, just cut out a small heart and maybe a little bit more glue there and glue that, over the tab, so you don't see the tab and you don't really notice that we've patched it up and it has kind of a cute look to it, with the heart. Let's do the same thing on the other side. A little bit of glue and then glue the heart on and that's to cover up our tab, so you don't see it, and there's your special surprise present, a little foggy for you. You can write a little note on it like "I have a special surprise for you," so that when they open it, there's a lot of love with little frog.
