Photo Reveal Aperture Card
Make a clever interactive card that moves when it opens to reveal a hidden picture or message inside.
It starts out looking like an ordinary gate fold with an opening down the middle, but as the sides are opened up, it pulls apart an aperture in the middle of the card to reveal a hidden image or message.
Download the blank template and see how to fully customize it with your own patterned papers, pictures and photos to make this card truly your own.
Note: the mermaid and bee decorations shown in the photos are not included. This is a blank template to add your own imagery to.
