Swing/Flip Card



It's Ceal here to share some Halloween goodies with you today. For my swing card  I used some Authentique papers and an Impression Obsession die. In case you don't have any of the flip card dies. it is easy to make yourself with a few cuts and some scoring. 
 You will need
1 piece of 5 1/2" x 6 3/4" cardstock or heavy weight design paper  for the card base
Slide your 5 1/2" x 6 3/4" cardstock into the paper cutter horizontally.

 Line up the cardstock at the 2 3/4" mark, and score from 0" to 1 1/4" as well as from 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
At the 4" mark, make another score identical to the first.

Slide your cardstock into your paper cutter vertically. Line it up at the 4 1/4" mark. 
Cut from 1 1/4" to 2 3/4" to meet your score line.
Lift your cutting blade, put it down on your second score and cut up to 5 1/2".
Repeat this step on the opposite side 

Slide your cardstock into your paper cutter horizontally again. Line it up with the 5 1/2" mark.
Cut from 1 1/4" to 4 1/4", connecting your two horizontal cuts.
Repeat this step on the opposite side as well.
Here is a template with the measurements
