[@janedoe2074]

Clever! Thank you for sharing! I’m going to try your secret lock fold. I love it. I’m always trying to think of more ways to make my cards an interactive experience. I also wouldn’t have thought to use scraps in tears like that. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to spend time with your ideas.

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

These are absolutely beautiful cards Gerry with the beautiful colors and the added torn layers! You are so clever to come up with that lock closure! It really adds intrigue to the card. The pretty tags you created are really nice for giving the recipient an idea as to how to fold or open the card. Thank you so much for this video!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 The lock closure is not my invention, but I tweaked it to make it easier and turned it into a slimline, I don't think that was done before😉 You're welcome as always Kimberly💖

[@kathleenrenee58]

These little opening instruction cards are wonderful! Wish I'd had them for my Valentine's cards! I'll be using them a lot! Thanks, Gerry...:)

Hi Gerry, thank God it is Friday again. And again you have such an amazing idea shared with us. Thank you. And again your famous paper tearing. I tried it last week too, now I can understand you how fun it is. And it has such a stunning effect. Thanks and have a nice weekend.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks Petra, have a fab weekend as well💖

[@charlottebradnick8102]

Pretty cool. Love the colors.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖

[@veecee9536]

First time of ever seeing this fold, thank you Gerry for the easy to follow tutorial. Not usually a fan of the torn or ragged edge, but have to own I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts after seeing how you've achieved yours. As a fairly new subscriber, am off to look at more of your videos. Thanks again and regards from UK 🇬🇧

[@Pebblesmas]

I so agree about the tearing, but...think i love it now and going to find the courage to try it out 😉👍🥶🥴😵‍💫🤔🙄☺🤭

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

first try with some ugly paper, you know that's been lying in your stash😉

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 There is a difference with tearing it downwards or upwards, coloured edge or white edge, downwards is a little less intimidating😉 you're welcome💖

[@Pebblesmas]

@@GerrysCraftRoom an excellent idea, thanx !

[@dizzinese]

Really cool card fold! It’s a great way to use up some patterned paper I wish I didn’t have so much of and they are just getting old to see sitting there.The printable instructions are fantastic! I’ve seen some stamp sets with these but had no idea what they would be for. You are always so thorough and thoughtful! Really nice Gems! I would only suggest a little mix of some brighter or rainbow colors. Every card person I’ve seen their work, except maybe you now that I say that, use rainbow colors that are brighter often. As always thank you for sharing your wonderful mind with us! 💜💚💓

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks and you're welcome as always💖

[@cherylstephens6199]

[@nicoleblowers5438]

Thanks Gerry for a great card idea. It will be fun to give one to my dad just to see if we can do the "how to confuse grandpa" trick (*grin*). We always have a laugh when we get together and this one will be priceless.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

you're welcome💖 Oh dear, that's a bit naughty there😁

[@dizzinese]

Yep! I knew it would be brilliant! Just the way you piece in the opposite color or coordinating paper! You blow my mind every time! Thank m so behind on techniques that I never get to cool folds! Btw, pink is my favorite color and this is stunning!!!

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks so much💖

[@brendadainton7497]

I just love the tearing idea and the different looks you can get. That sliding mechanism is brilliant.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Oh my gosh! Those cards are stunning! I love the design (I will most definitely be using it), and the papers. I've never been one for tearing much, but I am in love with the look you get with coordinating backing papers (another idea I will be using). Just an overall brilliant card! And thank you much for the download instructions for making the cards.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

Cool, I loooove tearing, someone said she expects me to tear each time she sees me craft, lol😉Have lots of fun creating your own💕

I stumbled upon your video when I was searching for inspo on fancy fold cards; I am so glad I did because I just made one and it was SO fun and the end product is cool! I used my old Kaiser "Amythest" collection paper as I was too scared to use any Stamperia or Mintay for my first go haha. I have also subscribed to your Treasure Trunk! Love from Australia

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

just add it with a paperclip on the lock, or the back of the card, or use non-permanent adhesive to make it stick or turn it into a tag and use a ribbon or piece of cord to wrap it around the card, lots of options to go about it😉 thanks Judy💖
