Fun Fold Friday- Sweet Farewell Secret Message Card

 

Every handmade card has a little magic in it but this one has extra fun feature with a "secret message". 

Dawn Griffith made a video 11 years ago and shared this magic card with everyone then and I hope you can enjoy it again now too! 

I got this stamp set during the Cling Stamp Set Sale because A) it was on my wish list and B) I love the sayings more than anything. 

By making "special" cuts it create a way to reveal a secret message that you don't see when you first open the card. How cool is that? 

Watch this quick video to see it in action and watch the video at the bottom to see how I made this card.
