I did glue the inserts and good thing b/c hubby tried to pull them out. It was a lot of fun making this with my two boys and dad loved it. We had to help him get it open! Thanks!

I made this for my hubby from my 8 month old son. Too cute. Thanks for the idea :)

Yesterday when my little Lulu gave this to Joe he was so impressed with it. And yes, she did have to show him how to open it up. I love seeing how happy she was when while he was admiring it. Thanks again for the tutorial.

My boys and I made this card for all the great men in our lives. They had a blast. They made jokes in the first part of the message and then put the answers in the “secret” part. The flaps to glue down are the colored flaps on the back of the card. They open perfectly and the paper doesn’t slide around.

Have a terrific day with your husband!

Thanks for the video–I had the same issue as Jen, though, the flaps we glued down get opened up. Very cute!

This card was easy to make and will be such a fun surprise. My husband always guesses his gifts before he opens them, so this was the perfect way for me to send him on a scavenger hunt with obscure clues to his gift to heighten the suspense. What fun! Thank you for helping my children and me create a very memorable Father’s Day. We can’t wait!

Thanks for sharing! My children made some of these yesterday. They had a lot of fun with their “secret” message. I think we will all enjoy watching daddy try to find it.

Wow, that was way cool! My kids are older (teens) but heck, I might try that myself just for the heck of it! Thanks!!

These look like a lot of fun. The perfect accompaniment to our “Our Dad Rocks” rocks, a fun idea we found in the June issue of Family Fun magazine. This will be my Dad’s first Father’s Day without my brother (who passed away unexpectedly last month), so the boys (5 & 8) and I are trying to add a bit of fun to our gift. I think my Dad will appreciate the creativity and the silliness. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
