Rainbow Valentine’s Wiper Card

I have a friend that loves to request cards from me for his wife. Honestly, his memory impresses me – I have a whole craft room of supplies that I am always playing in and I’m often in there the night before an occasion creating a card because…I forgot….). For this year’s Valentine card, I thought a pop-up surprise would be fun.

When you pull both sides of the card, a banner emerges:

I made one of these cards years ago and did forget all the measurements and tricks. There are many tutorials and YouTube videos available – and for all different sizes.

I’ve added the link to the blog I found through a Pinterest search below – the final card is 4″ x 6″ so you’ll have to make your own envelope (or use a 5″ x 7″ you have laying around).

I paired up some of the new Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper with a set that carried over from last year’s January-June mini catalog – the Always in My Heart stamp set and the Floral Heart dies – they are so pretty. I livened the card up with a nice heart rainbow strip along the bottom.

I first cut out the strips of hearts (backed with adhesive strips) and affixed them to the bottom of the front – this way I could snip off any extra that hung over the sides. I then adhered the DSP strips, adhered the wiper mechanism, and put the card together (front and back). I cut out, stamped, and embossed the purple heart and affixed to the front (Stampin’ Seal for the center heart and Mini Dimensionals for the intricate heart frame.)
