Seven Truths and Five Lies



Ah, truth.  There's been so little of it.



The envelope.



The front of the card

The alternate title of this card is "Cross My Heart."
(Notice the cross stitch hearts and x's on the front of the card.)

This card has twelve statements written on twelve rectangles.  Flip the front down to read six.  Flip the front up to read the other six.  Seven are true, and five are lies. The letter inside tells the true story.

Now that's it's done, I have a bad feeling that's it's "too long, didn't read."  Whelp, it's too late, can't change it.





The movable part of the card is cut from a single sheet of paper.  It's cut and rolled to create a Jacob's ladder mechanism.  A very tricky mechanical card!

Here is the video showing the card in action.



Here is the video showing the card construction.  Notice that after the card is rolled and adhered there are three empty text rectangles.  Because they actually come from the BACK of the printed page, I decided it would be easier to print them separately and glue them on after folding.





I made 81 of these!

My other card this year was the sliceform tree with angled slices.
