I made this Easel Card for today's Technique Lover's Challenge. It is also the first card I've made using the treat holder so it took me a really long time to figure this out. I used some retired SU background paper and printed my greeting on the computer so there is no actual stamping on this card. I need an opinion from all of you. I like the inside saying:
In Case of Emergency Break Glass
but in fact for this card you can pull the ribbon tab to get to the chocolate. That way you don't have to trash the card and you can use it again. Should I change the greeting to:
In Case of Emergency Pull Tab
What do you think?

Love it! Depends on who you're sending it to, as to whether they might be able to figure out that they can pull the tab. I think I'd change it to "...pull tab".

Such fun. I think whether you need to change the sentiment would depend who you were sending it to. I know that I once wrote *Open Me* on one of those little petal fold things, and even so my brother (who had done industrial design, so I expected him to be clued in) only just decided that I really meant it. So for anyone not a card-maker, I think I'd be inclined to include instructions to just pull the ribbon. It would be a shame if they really did mangle the card.

What a fun design! love the colors on this! I'd say either way - most receivers are going to throw out the card after a while anyway - so if they mangle it - they have still enjoyed it!

This is just too cute and I think I would say,"pull tab" so the card wouldn't be ruined. Such a clever idea for your easel card!
