Make A Flip (Swing Card)
by Craft Ideas Weekly • December 30, 2010 • Make This • 1 Comment
Paula from More Than Cards demonstrates how to make a flip or swing style greeting card. The swing/flip card is made by cutting slits into the cardstock, then folding it at very specific measurements (Paula goes over these in detail in the video tutorial) What a cool cardmaking idea — definitely not your average Valentines Day or Christmas card!
Craft Supplies For This Card Project:
- Craft Glue
- Family Photo(s) and Embellishments (Also shown in this video: The Nifty 50′s Cricut Cartridge and Pink By Design Jump and JiveĀ Stamp Set) – You will attach these to the card when it is complete and can make a cute page layout.
- Cardstock (The cardstock shown is Die Cuts With A View’s Green Stack collection made from 70% post-consumer recycled paper. It is acid-free and lignin-free so this card will last a lifetime.)
- Cutting and Scoring Board and other basic cardmaking tools like a craft knife


Wow is this every great! Thank you! Will be trying this.
