CHRISTMAS IN JULY - LOCKING MECHANISM CARD TECHNIQUE

I came up with this locking mechanism card years ago...still can't come up with a better name for it.  A couple years ago someone asked me to make a video on how to make the locking mechanism and that is when I made my very first YouTube video.  I reposted it back in October as an anniversary edition.  You can watch it on my YouTube channel by  clicking HERE 

This is a Christmas card made using the same technique.





I belong to a craft swap group on Facebook called
It's group for advanced crafters, and I sent this card to the lady I was swapping with.  There is another swap group,
for crafters of any level.

    That's a really cool technique, something a bit different for a card. And a very elegant card you've used it on, lovely!
