Card making swinging cards

Swing cards are sure to give your recipients a lovely surprise when they open your card. Another card with movement that is easy to produce, and that adds interest to your projects. This is sure to delight any person that receives one of these from you. It is easy to achieve and I have used nothing other than a cutting mat for the dimensions. If you make your template first with some cheap card, you will be able to keep this for future reference whenever you want to produce swing cards again.

Handmade greetings are always a pleasure to give and take. You don't have to spend extra time searching the stores for perfect ready made card you want. It'll take effort but believe me it's fun, you just buy the material and then assemble it as you want. The pleasure of your loved ones will be much greater than a store bought card.

Hi Sylvia here with a pop out swing card tutorial. Swing cards are not hard to make although they do take time as they have to be measured carefully and scored before putting together. I chose this design as there is no fiddly cutting just a die cut aperture for the pop out panel, although you can cut out the aperture with a craft knife if you wish.

I have two sizes of card in the tutorial, the first is a normal sized card using an A4 piece of card and the other an oblong card using an A3 piece of card seaside card above. The folded inserts are easy to make, you can see how to measure and where to score them in the diagram below.
