Why This Card Will Stop the Scroll

Folds Perfectly Flat: No extra postage is required to mail this masterpiece.

Interactive Motion: The central panel swings and flips automatically when pulled. I’ve showed the folded card and the unfolded card and the card standing on display.

Faux-Stitched Textures: The suite dies add instant whimsy without extra bulk.

Double-Sided Drama: Perfect for showing off both sides of your holiday paper.

Featured Stampin’ Up! Elements

A Stitched Season Bundle: Clean holiday sentiments paired with intricate, stitch-edged geometric dies.

Coordinating Specialty DSP: Classic festive color palettes featuring rich greens and bold reds.

I’ve included many of the beautiful alternatives I’ve made using current Stampin’ Up! designer series papers and their coordinating stamp and dies bundles/suites.

Thanks for looking!

In this alternative design, I have turned the design on the end and made it into a portrait versus landscape card. Amazing!!

NOTE: I think I inadvertently gave an incorrect measurement during my video:
card base is 7-1/2″ x 4.25″, score 3-1/4″ from both ends on the 7-1/2″ side
On 7-1/2′ side make a tick mark on both sides of the 7-1/2″ sides and at both ends at 1-5/8″ from the top and bottom (4 tick marks only on 7-1/2″ side
To make the swing mechanism: on the 4-1/4″ side align the trimmer blade 3/4″ from the left and right edges and cut from 1-5/8″ to the 3-1/4″ score line. I show this in the video but I think I said (4-1/4″) The score line is at 3-1/4″ on each end of the 7-1/2″ side. You will make 4 cuts/slits. Then you will cut from the 1st cut line over to your other cut line and that makes that rectangle cut open on 3 sides. It is still attached at the 3-1/4″ score line.
Please see the video where I cut the swing mechanism. THANKS
