Partial Die Cutting tabs for Try Stampin on Tuesday #433

I started out by making a dresser card for the sketch/ inspiration challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #433, but along the way, the card morphed into an interactive card with tabs that opened up to reveal a scene inside.  I used a combination of the Water Front and the Snow Front stamp sets to create the scene behind the tabs using the inspiration from the picture in the challenge.

The tabs were created using the partial die cutting technique.

The front of the card is Woodwork Texture DSP adhered to a piece of Whisper White.  This piece was divided in half with 3 partially die cut stitched rectangular tabs created on the left and a larger rectangular tab on the right.

A 1/2" round circle punch made the notch in the end of the tabs so they could be opened a bit easier. In addition some 1/2" Early Espresso circles were added on each tab end.

On the front of the right side I stamped the tree image from Snow Front.

This card front was laid on top of an identical sized piece of Whisper White card stock and with a pencil lightly drew the outline of each die cut opening.   The scene was then created.

Tab 1 opens to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of the scene as well as a black embossed sentiment.

Tab 2 opens to reveal some cabins for camping

Tab 3:  now the left side of the scene is revealed. 

Tab on the right:  reveals the rest of the scene as well as the rest of the sentiment.

This art piece was added to an Early Espresso card front.
