Hi There Creators
I'd seen this Pop Out Swing card a couple of times and took notes, headed off to my Craft Room and had a couple of attempts with what I have available (Code for; I didn't have what they used🤣)
Oh my goodness once you remember to stick the swing bit on the correct side (the Right!) it's so easy😃🤩
Anyway just before we dive in, have you thought of joining Stampin' Up!? If you love the goodies as much as I do, it doesn't take much to get yourself an ongoing 20% discount and this month when you purchase the "starter kit" which means picking out up to $235 of goodies, only paying $169, you also get the Brand New Stampin' Positioner for FREE!, Ask me if you're interested or check out this link: Join Stampin Up! (don't forget to find me as your demonstrator!)
I've used the Darling Dinos Stamp set (the Stamps and dies are on the retiring list now, and drastically reduced, - totally recommend adding them to your cart separately!, the bundle price is $71, but the Stamp Set is reduced to $22.20 and the Dies are reduced to $16.80 totaling $39!! - check out the links on the words. In the card I made in the video I've also used the Joyful Squares Dies, and the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, some Stampin' Blends to colour in the cute little Triceratops Dino too 😃
As you'll see in the video I'm human and make mistakes! Kind of comforting when you see where others
have gone wrong🤦♀️
Anyway this is how the card turned out in the end...
I then went on to make another one with my new found knowledge of putting the swing piece on the right hand side and not the left! 🤣 Oh and you'll see I used a different die set, Nested Essentials Dies.
Ironically you still can't see the piece of Designer paper under the card where it swings out, but you do in "real life" I've used a couple of the other images, from the set: footprints, rocks and sayings, oh and the party hat.
To create these cards is so simple!
Using A4 cardstock,
take your base card and cut a shape out of the middle front of it (keep the shape!) you can also decorate it, especially if you plan to stamp, at this stage.
Decorate the shape.
the middle mechanism measures 13.8cm x 20cm, and scored at 5 cm intervals (5, 10, 15cm) fold it so it goes up, across, down, across. Decorate the first 3 parts (ie up, across, and down), leave the last "across" undecorated, as that's for writing on.
Attach the "up" section so it sits 1/2 way (approx) across the opening in your card, I'm not sure I can explain well how to attach the second "across" section, but ultimately it sits on the opposite side of your open card on the right hand side (your card will naturally sit right with it)
then you add the swing component, making sure you attach it on the RIGHT side (take note and learn from my mistake!🤣)
finish off any decorations and voila, one swing card.
If that was as clear as mud, check out my video.....
I really hope you have a go, because once you get the hang of it it's so easy, and does pack a Wow Factor😮
I hope this inspires you to create
God Bless love
