Croaking Frog Card
This cute card has a frog with a moving mouth inside.
The instructions look long, but it's just because I've shown every step in great detail.

Step 2.
Colour in the frog and Pond scene. Then cut the paper in half above the pond scene so that your card base and inside image are now on different pieces of card. When you cut, leave an EVEN BORDER around the pond scene frame (as shown). Fold the piece of cardboard with the pond scene in half, creating your card. |
Step 3.
Using a pin, needle or other sharp pointed object, make pin holes in the places on the frog image indicated below (ie. the dot below the chin, where the sides of the mouth meet the outside line, and the bump on the face between the eyes.) Small lines have been drawn crossing the darker lines to indicate where to place your holes. These holes will help you determine where to cut on the back of the image. |
Step 6.
Fold the card down the vertical line (This symmetrically folds the frog in half on the other side). Using scissors, cut along the horizontal line you marked cutting from the folded edge into the card to the edge of the diamond. This cut will be approximately 2.5cm long. I have placed a protracter through the cut so you can see where it is in the photo. |
