Because of the way that this card folds, you will need to be present to help the man you give this to figure out how to open it!!!!
The card looks like it would be complicated to make, but it is actually quite simple!
Click here to see Jackie Cooley's beautiful card that gave us the pattern to copy.
Start with an 8"x 8" square. You'll score it at 4" going both directions. You also score the two diagonals. Cut down the center on the bottom half.
Now all you have to do is add the card stock and any designer papers that you want to use.
For this particular card, I am using only card stock.
Cut three pieces of black c/s at 3 3/4" sq.
Cut three pieces of Real Red c/s at 3 1/2" sq.
Cut two of the squares combinations diagonally and layer them together like you see below.
The third square is left whole and is added in the bottom right quarter of the card.
I cut a 3"x 6" piece of black c/s and folded it in half. Let the circle size that you choose hang off of the top so that the circle will NOT completely be cut in two. Fold the top half of the circle in half. See the picture two up.
Attach the bottom of the circle in the right square and then attach the car to it. I cut the car out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
I only cut one of the black gears die and cut it in half using one half on each side of the outer rectangles.
I will right my note in the square that is left gray.
When you close it up, it will look like this.
It won't look that exciting when you first pull it out of the envelope. HOWEVER, as soon as they open it, they will love it!!!
