Materials required
This is a super fun and easy card to make.
- Sturdy Card stock: Your card will be subjected to quite a lot of pushing and pulling so good sturdy card stock is a must! You need 2 pieces of same size. I used 2 cards of 6 x 8 inches in this interactive card tutorial
- Something to measure and score : You can use a scale and blunt used pen .I have used a scorpal. This is one card where you need to be accurate to get the fold right!
- To cut a window : Its perhaps easiest to use a Xacto knife to cut out an aperture .I used dies and a big shot[one is obliged to play with new toys!].
- Good strong adhesive : I found white glue[Fevicol MR] the best as it doesnt dry too fast and you can play around with the position of your interactive elements and correctly position the 2 parts of your interactive card.
How to make an Interactive Window Card
Take 2 pieces of same size card stock [mine 8 x 6 inches].Score 2 ends at 1 inch from the edge and then at 1/2 inch from this score line you made as shown.For those with a scorpal this translates to score at 1, 1 1/2,6 1/2 and 7 inch.You can play around with your measurements according to your card dimensions and what depth you want to give the window card.

Cut out an aperture on one of the card pieces positioning your aperture well within the inner score lines of your window card.

Since I was gifting all the teachers photoframes this year, made a matching photoframe with a an interactive snow globe shaker.

To make a snowglobe shaker you need Card stock, a thick transparency[or acetate], double sided foam tape ,an image[stamp , sticker etc] and a shaker element [you can use beads,sequins or tiny thermocol balls like i did here]

Cut out an aperture from the center of one circle. Cutting out circles is a bit tricky with the xacto knife so you may "cheat" and cut a square!
Cut a transparency slightly larger than the aperture and stick it on the reverse of this window card using double sided foam tape[you can stick it in such a way that it overlaps the transparency and the cardstock]

Add your shaker element and stick onto the other circle in which you made a snowy scene.[The toughest part for me was to get the thermocol balls to stay in place and not fly all over the room!]
Making the snowglobe was so fun...I confess I will miss playing with it when we gift the snowglobe!
I dont know if this type of interactive card and frame will appeal to an adult but my daughter [just 6 yrs] likes it so much she wants to gift it to her favorite teacher!
