Sliding Surprise ATC

On my computer the text isn't formatting correctly - it is chopping off part of the description. I have pasted it here also - in case you can't read it!!

I saw this idea in a card making book and thought it would make a cool ATC, too. For this swap you will make both an ATC and an envelope with a window for that ATC. When you slide the ATC out of the envelope you reveal a surprise in the window. The sample above has a quote on the inside of the windowed envelope. You might want to make an ATC with a quote on it that reveals a picture on the inside - or you could have 2 related pictures (before & after?) or 2 parts of a quote on the ATC and inside the envelope. I have created a pattern for the windowed envelope (actually you can get 2 on an 8x11 page) at the web address below - or email me and I will send it to you. Senders choice of theme, but make it something you would like to get yourself.

Standard size ATC 2.5 x 3.5.

1 ATC for 1 partner.

Cool idea. Do we have to use that size envelope? I may want to make the hole(s) larger/smaller/different.

Feel free to modify the template - make the window bigger, smaller, different shape, multiple cutouts, etc. You can make your own pattern, too.

Very cool idea!! I'm having trouble getting the URL to work. Could you make it a tiny URL Please!

very interesting.... I am watching but I think I will try it

Here is the tiny URL for the template: http://tinyurl.com/y6fjtaf
