House Mouse Wiper card

A while ago someone gave me some House Mouse stickers. They really are good because when they are stuck onto something only the picture shows, not the peel off edges or background paper. It's almost like a  ready-coloured stamp!

I wanted to make a special sort of project with them too so I chose a "Wiper! card (so called because of the windscreen wiper motion of the pop up insert)
It comprises of 2 pieces of card measuring 11.5cm x 17cm. Each piece is scored at 12.5cm and 14.5cm. Turn 1 piece of card around so that the score lines are at the opposite end.
Cut a small piece of card for the mechanism measuring 3cm x 10cm. Stamp or stick required greeting on the top. Measure 1.8cm from the bottom left hand corner up and from the same corner along. Join the 2 points forming a triangle.  Score this line and fold it towards you.
Working on the larger card with the score lines on the left, stick the triangle on the little card (and only the triangle!) 3cm down inside the first score line. It's a good idea to use wet glue for this because it's stronger.
Apply glue up to the same fold and stick the unfolded edge of the other larger piece of card on top. Repeat on the opposite edge, gluing front to back. Decorate the narrow sections either side of the main card with coloured strips of paper or peel-offs. (I'm sure there will be better instructions than these on the net if you have a look!)

Once the glue is dry, you should be able to push and pull the card to make the Wiper part pop up.
Good Luck and Happy Crafting! Pat x
