Poppin' Corn Birthday

I have made a birthday card with a fun die set, from Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember® release...

I die cut the pieces of the popcorn box and layered, then adhered them together.  I die cut the pieces of popcorn from a cream colored cardstock, then layered and curled with my fingers...just  a wee bit.  I decided to make this box of popcorn a "front" for a hidden gift card...yes, an interactive card!...

Below are a couple pics of how I made it...

I adhered a smaller than the card piece of cardstock to a long strip of cardstock.  I then placed the gift card (the one above is what what in my purse, until I purchased the one you actually see in the card) onto the paper and adhered the strip to it with a glue dot.  Then I made a hole in the panel that would sit above the card.  I used the popcorn box with the popcorn assembled, as a template, as to how wide the hole would be, as I wanted it to be large enough for the gift card, but not be seen when the card was put together ...

I then popped up the card panel on the back of the panel, above, all around the where the gift card,would sit,  to hold it in place.  Then I popped up the popcorn box on the card, as well, so that the gift card would have room to move once out of the back.  I hope this all makes sense.  I kind of winged it...but pretty easy to do!  Here's a video of me moving the highest piece of popcorn, to show the gift card.  I didn't want to markup the front of the card, or mark the popcorn, so I would have a note on the inside to pull up on the piece of popcorn for a surprise...kinda fun that you don't even know that it's moveable, until you read the card!!...

I almost forgot...I made up the sentiment and printed it on my printer.  If I had to do it over, I would have made the letters bold, but knew I had to have a sentiment that went with this box of popcorn, and nothing I had really "went".  Hope you are having a great weekend...please take care!!
