Neverending cards with hidden pockets

Hello everyone,

As I promised in my last post I will now show the 3 neverending cards I was asked to make some weeks ago .
An ex-colleague of mine wanted one for her son and two for her daughters , all married and with children . Hence the hidden pockets .

This is the first one :


 The two middle parts have a pocket with a tag in each fastened with a security pin , but when the pin is taken off , that pocket opens up to another pocket .






















When the card flips , the two other middle parts are left blank for pctures as was specifically asked .



 It then flips again ,
































And a last time , showing two hearts that are really only a belt that can be taken off to un reveal the hidden two pockets on either side .

Up to the second one : The two middle parts for the pictures .


 The two other sides for the pictures ;




When the card is flipped over again , there are two hidden pockets on the small sides .



And flipping it again it has two envelopes , that close with twine .


My third card :Again the middle parts for pictures , but these middle mats open up and hide two pockets underneath : they close with Velcro



 
When flipped to the second side I attached two small envelopes to the middle parts


Flipping to the third side there is again room for pictures ,


 as also on the fourth side:

 So this was very much fun to make and very, very easy , although it looks complicated . It did take me a lot of time to embellish though . The cards , I forgot to tell you,  measure 20 cm by 20 cm .

I also crocheted a tea light holder cover , but as I have been  searching for the pictures the past half hour , I came to the conclusion I didn't take pictures of it yet !  So I will share it with you on my next post .

Take care,

Hugs, Rosa
