Jacob's Ladder Card

Jacob's Ladder Secret Message Card made with Stampin'UP! Petal Parade Stamp SetPut your thinking caps on - see if you can figure out how this card works. 

All 4 of these sentiments are used on this card. The thing is, when you open it you only see the "you can do it" and the arrows.  

Most people mistakenly try to pull out the white strips. I usually have to explain how it works, and then it really gets a "WOW!"

Its called a Jacob's Ladder Card and here's a hint: it works just like the kids toy.  Remember that toy on a stick with the pieces of wood held on by ribbons.  Think about that as you try to figure this out.

Here's a view of the "first" inside . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and here's a view of the "hidden" inside
