APRVSN17L ~ Sat. April 1 - 7 pm ET ~ Crafting With Tom Cruise ~ lisalara
Challenge Title: Crafting with Tom Cruise Hostess:Lisa Lara (aka lisa lara) Keyword: APRVSN17L Date: April 1st, 2017 @ 7pm EST
APRIL FOOLS No Tom Cruise, but I got your attention didn't I?! We are going to make a GATE FOLD LATCH CARD.
Hello VSN lovers. This is my first time as a VSN hostess, so I am excited. You are probably wondering what a Gate Fold Latch Card is and how it relates to April Fools. Well, a Gate Fold Latch Card is basically a gate fold with a latch due to how the layers are attached. It relates to April Fools, because it looks sweet and innocent like a regular gate fold but when the receiver goes to open it they realize they have to unlatch it first. Bwahaha. Follow me?
Please NOTE * I have found doubling the frame and inside with two pieces of paper when cutting makes the card sturdier when opening and closing. (My paper is thick and would not cut through both so I separated them and ran through my cutter again on the second piece.)

Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos. 5.

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING ALONG!!!
Lisa , with VSN who had time to play April fools? LOL
It is so fun to,me ne though this is titled April Fools VSN, I think I forgot it was April Fools Day!
Lisa, I clicked on the link for the challenge gallery and I only see your two cards. I noticed that the keyword you used is VSNAPR17L instead of APRVSN17L. Not sure if you may need to fix something. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up!! Got the links fixed both in the challenge and on Lisa's cards!!
This is my last VSN challenge! Fun stuff! I may have goofed this one up a little bit. My latch is a little stiff as I used scor-tape and not dimensional adhesive. Next time, I will pay closer attention to the tutorial. This is what happens when I try to remember the directions and don't take my laptop upstairs.
