If you love interactive handmade cards that look impressive but are easy to recreate, you are going to LOVE this design! This fun card features a belt-style buckle closure and opens to reveal a beautiful surprise inside.

I shared how to make this card during Mystery Monday Stamping, where I give step-by-step clues instead of full instructions—so you can use what you have and enjoy the creative process without stress.
The “belt” wraps around the card front and slides through a buckle, making it perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays, or anytime you want to send a little love. The best part? Once you understand the basic layout, you can change up the paper, sentiment, and embellishments to fit any occasion.
