I made a new file with paper zippers. Having so much fun with these I can't stopping unzipping them.!!! I am going to give this one to my grandma so I just took a picture before attaching the top to the card. Just took this picture to show what will be hiding under the zipper.

The white card gets glued underneath the embellished card with the sentiment surprise underneath the zipper.

This picture just shows how the zipper unzips. I just couldn't let myself unzip the Easter card yet I have to give it to someone. But it takes a lot strength not to unzip it. I keep cutting these zippers out to just play with them and unzip them. It's like bubble wrap once you start you can't stop. :)

PapaSue, think about opening a box of pasta or cereal... You have to pull the perforated piece off to open the box, in this case, the card. You can utilize the dashed lines SCAL already makes, or make your own, little hearts, circles, etc.
This is wonderful...I am glad the photo is large to really see the zipper part. I looked this up the other day, and could not find or understand what it was about. AWESOME...tfs!!
My pictures and files are available for a limited time only.
Really cute card! I'm still not quite sure about the concept. So, when you "unzip" it, is that how you open it? or is the envelope zipped and that's how you get the card out? Or, is there something under the zipper? Thanks...and sorry for being dense here.
Not exactly sure how lillygirl7 made her card, but I would glue the top of the card below the zipper to the back of the card. Then when the receiver would have to pull the zipper to open the top part of the card to reveal the message. Another concept is using it on a box or gift bag. They are made so the giver fills them, glues shut the bottom, and again, the receiver had to pull the zipper to open.
I cut the white sheet the same dimensions as the basket (embellished sheet) sheet then glue them together. Then when the recipient receives the card they get to pull the paper zipper off revealing the cute sentiment that was hidden underneath.
I don't know how to size it down to those dimensions? I don't know what program to use?
Edited * Actually I ended up using a photo program on my phone to change the size of the photo! Crazy my phone is easier than my computer. Haha
