Oh, this one’s a keeper! Today we’re crafting a Swing Arm Card — but with a sneaky surprise… there’s a hidden compartment right on the front! It swings, it hides, and it’s bursting with possibilities! Slip in a note, or a character like I did — because who doesn’t love a little mystery in their mailbox? I’ll guide you step by step to build the swinging arm, create the compartment, and add those finishing touches that make your card truly wow-worthy.
