We thought it would be a great idea to make April Fool’s Cards as one of our projects. When we went looking around for inspiration though we were surprised at how little there is out there! What we could find was usually tasteless and/or unkind. Perhaps April Fool’s day isn’t exactly the kind of day most NICE people think to make a card, but we were determined that it could be done! So here are few cute cards that should make your favorite fool smile instead of frown!

This first card really is a perfect sentiment for your loved one on ANY day, not just April Fool’s. The card is made of print and cut pieces (the clipart was made IN the Inspiration Studio software too, don’t you love this software!?). The boy cautiously slides across the bench to his sweetheart by way of a ribbon that is cleverly incorporated in to the card. This great idea can be used for all sorts of different kinetic cards. We are sure you will love it!

Sometimes we read a little more in to something than what is actually said. This card takes advantage of that by cleverly promising a prince. Hey, the card never said what KIND of prince, there can be frog princes too! This adorable card is great for any occasion and is sure to give the recipient a smile.

I would show you the inside of this card but…there isn’t one! That’s the trick, the “money” is stuck inside a card that will not open. At least it is fake money!

These cards are cute, but I can’t seem to open up the pdfs. I use mozilla and it crashed and I had to reopen. Is it my computer or is it something else? I would like to get the instructions so that I can use the cards…LOL. Help!

I have tried to downlaod the Print and Cut file and it won’t download, only the program name. It says I need a different program to do this. What is up with that. I need some help.

After several attempts, I was finally able to download. I honestly think that we either may have been trying to access it at the same time because our posts are within minutes of each other….or it was Foxfire because it crashed when I made the attempt. Keep trying though…because I got it…and you probably will too!

I downloaded everything when I first put it up and I just downloaded it again, everything seems to be working fine for me. I am also using Firefox. Give it another try and let me know how it goes!

I think these kinetic cards are great! The sliding boy card can be used with the mechanism for all kinds of shapes and not only this boy girl but others (I’m a girl, so the boy is a bit not me… But I can be a fool for my doggie!
