Today I have a quick card made as a "keyhole aperture". This is simply a basic aperture or hole in the card front - except that it has a cover over it that is attached with a brad so it can rotate to show the aperture. The card base was an A2 sized card made from Pool Party cardstock. Inside are two panels of Basic White cardstock (each cut to 4" x 5 1/4").
The aperture (hole) was cut with one of the Everyday Arches dies. I cut the card front using one die and the white backing piece with one just a bit smaller to form a bit of a frame for the aperture.
The card with the cover in place is shown below:
It was made pretty easily using the discontinued Wildflower Birthday designer series paper set from Stampin' Up! The "cover" is one of the tags cut from the set - matted on white. I added small pieces of one of the papers near the top and bottom if the tag to dress it up a little bit - along with a greeting stamped toward the bottom in Pool Party ink. The decorations around the edge were cut from Gold Foil sheets with dies from the Delicate Framing dies.
When the card is open, this is what you see:
The die cut piece from the card front is glued to the inside of the card - with a punched out piece that came in the same designer paper set.
