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. Another EGG-scuse for Chocolate!

Sorry I don't know why the picture is so HUGE? lol

Just had to go to your blog to find out about Zippers. Not sure I really understand them but the look is adorable done in your card.

Try resizing your .jpg down to about 6.00" and 92 dpi and repost. I think it would show up better smaller.

Love this and thanks for sharing. I'm back to your blog to see more.

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.

Thanks Kate, It was really hard to see for me.

Yep, sounds like you could do it. I'll try.

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!!

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.

I have the same questions so if you are missing something then there is now two of us. I am still fascinated tho and will pursus.

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
