Swing Card

Happy Monday! Here's another great card idea from Repeat Impressions:

It's called a Swing Card. I think this one is especially good for a laugh:



Wendy has designed an entire series of stamps that are perfect for creating the Swing Card:


And want to hear something even better? This is lightning fast to make! It takes literally just a few minutes using the Repeat Impressions pre-cut and pre-scored Swing Card Packs:


Just start by stamping a design around all four "borders" on both sides of the card. Then stamp your inside verse and/or images directly in the center panel on one side:


Turn the card over, and stamp the verse and/or image that you want to appear on the front of the finished card. If you align your image a bit closer to the right-hand edge of the center panel, this will allow more of the image to show once the card has been folded:


To fold the card, take the right-hand edge and fold it to the left on the score marks:


Now take the left-hand edge and fold it behind and to the right on the score marks. See how it kind of looks like a zig zag from the top view:


And that's all there is to it...you're done! When the card is opened and closed, the front and inside panels will swing back and forth just like in the video.

Thanks to Wendy for sharing this project with us. Tune in again for more to come!
