Beary Cute Hidden Message Card

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

The other day I was going through my stash of cards and I found one with a special fun fold. I'm calling it a Hidden Message card, although it's not like other Hidden Message cards I've seen, but I don't know what else to call it. Nor could I find the original card I CASED to make the one I found in my stash, so I don't know who to credit with the original idea. But I love the card fold! It looks like a little book from the outside.

When you undo the bow, you see four squares on the right, and there's a spot for writing on the left. 

Then, you pull on two opposite corners of the squares the card opens to reveal the hidden message. 

I even added some DSP on the back to secure the ribbon closure and finish off the look. 

Believe it or not, this card will fold flat enough to fit in a medium envelope! You can find the video tutorial on my YouTube Channel. This will help you with scoring, folding, and assembly instructions.
