Add a fun interactive element to your handmade cards by making DIY pull out cards and envelopes. Your recipient pulls out a part of the card in order to read the sentiment or complete the scene.

Interactive cards are so fun to make. They can also be easy to create. In this DIY greeting card, I use an accordion style piece to build a fun surprise into the paper craft.

Once that part is complete, you just need some fun cutouts or die cut pieces of paper to create your pull out card. For this kind of cardmaking technique I highly recommend creating your own envelope or notecard and using lightweight cardstock.
