Hello my crafting friends and fellow demonstrators.
I have a swing fold card for this Friday. I had this one tucked in my YouTube bookmarks to try one day and I finally decided to give it a go.
I love making fun fold cards but shy away from those that look a little more complicated. But after watching a couple of videos by other demonstrators and finding one I enjoyed I decided to give it a go. I made up two cards before filming.
This is the front of the card with the DSP.
It swings open to reveal the interior greeting.
Cutting & Scoring Measurements
Just Jade card base: 5-3/4″ x 6-3/4″
Bumblebee cardstock: 2 pieces that measure 3″ x 4″
Whisper White cardstock: 2 pieces that measure 2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″
DSP:
2 pieces that measure 2-5/8″ x 5-5/8″
2 pieces that measure 1-1/8″ x 1-1/8″
Cutting the Card Base
On the long side:
– line up the right side at 1-1/4″ use (the ruler to the right of the arm)
– cut from 1-1/4″ to 4-1/2″
Rotate the card 180 degrees and repeat.
On the short side:
– line up the right side at 1-1/4″
– cut from 1-1/4″ to 2-3/4″
– cut from 4″ to 5-1/2″
Rotate the paper 180 degrees and repeat.
Scoring the Card Base
On the long side, line the left edge at 2-3/4 and score down to the cut line.
Move the score blade to the bottom of the trimmer and score up to the cut line.
Rotate the card 180 degrees and repeat.
Cutting the DSP (do the same to both pieces)
On the long side:
– line up the right side at 1-1/8″ (use the ruler to the right of the arm)
– cut down to 1-1/2″
– flip the DSP to the opposite side and repeat
On the short side:
Position the DSP with the cuts on the left.
– line up the right side at 1-1/8″
– cut down to 4-1/4″

I would recommend watching the video through to the end before making this card.
Happy stamping.
