[@kimberlywalker1015]

We are so GLAD😀😁😀 you ARE comfortable in your own skin....you brighten our days with your wonderful sense of humor... And I DO APPRECIATE the free way to do this card...I Agree....dies can get WAAAAAYYYYY too expensive....thank you for showing.us the FRUGAL WAY...Lord knows I get carried away spending more money on crafting supplies than I should at times...Thank you again😀😁😀

[@marthaltoner4087]

Thank you Lindsey. I am what they call a "fine artist" (please note, I am NOT a fine artist snob), but I do like crafts also. I just got a cuttlebug and I am trying to learn how to make cards, boxes, etc. I love your ideas. When I need to learn "how to" stuff,. I immediately go to your videos. You seem to know all. I am in a buying mode to purchase all the equipment to help me be a better crafter.. . I am so very excited.

[@sheenyg2878]

Thanks for sharing Lindsay. Its always such a pleasure watching your videos. I love your enthusiasm and your wonderful sense of humour.

[@pafloyd8]

YAY!!! I've been searching the internet to "buy" the bases for a swing card circle and a diamond shape. Haven't found either yet....you've saved me from continued searching and from paying for 2 sets of dies (if I managed to ever find them, since they are no longer made)!!! You are absolutely wonderful!!!

[@2010pallen]

Lindsay, you are a genius. Thank you for sharing this very clever and cost saving technique with us. God bless, Peggy

[@margaretjohnson8442]

thanks for saving us money, Lindsay, you're clever and fun and love the fact that your videos are short and chalk full of information.

[@wearefromfrance]

YOU. ARE. HYSTERICAL! AND BRILLIANT!!! Thank you so much for the 7+ minutes of non-stop smiling and giggling along with you, and the great and simple idea for saving the "flipping" $30. OMG, you're contagious! Keep the frugal smile going!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Deb Vincens thank you:)

[@jessienicholson5207]

Love you !!!! Your full of sunshine. The Kids must love you and so do, I am a child in heart . Your unique with your wide spanned of imagination. Love your creativity and how fun you are with not even a dull moment.

[@kriannon]

Here in Australia they are trying to sell them for $65 at a very popular craft store... Fore just one design!!! Thankyou so much for showing this, I can now use my dies I already have to make gorgeous cards :) Also, thankyou for your cheery disposition, sometimes I find the day a struggle, but hearing how happy you are about anything at all, always makes me smile or laugh (not at you, but because happiness is infectious, and being around/watching happy people makes me happy).

[@DawnGuk]

I am very excited. I've been checking out your channel intermittently for a while and I havejust bought my first cuttlebug with cash from my long service award when made redundant.(sad face is now happy face!) I bought a few thin dies that I thought would be versatile; and what do you know; you've prep'd a super-simple tutorial (for those of us that are super simple!). Simply spiffing! Thanks very much Linz. Dawn

[@conniewhitcraft9105]

Thank you for your flip card tutorial! I had been trying to figure this out is I have a lot of the thin dies. I love your tutorials. You make them interesting and enjoyable!😊🌻💗

[@katf3836]

Thank you so much Lindsey for sharing this. I have wanted to figure out how to do this but didn't have the patience to figure it out. You rock. You're my encyclopedia of craft!!

[@sameerazaheda]

I have seen so many tutorials on how to do the flip card yet this is the best by far, Thank you for your VEDIOS I really enjoy it

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you are welcome:)

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Wooo LindSAY! We are so on the same wave length about flip card die cost!!! For the last few months, I have had many conversations with myself about whether or not to spend that kind of money for one type of card and each time I've talked myself out of it But YOUR video is truly the EASIEST way to create a flip card compared to the other videos I've watched. THANK YOU!!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you are welcome, I don't think there is really anything new in crafting that you cannot replicate with an old tool:)

[@TwinkleToes2day]

thefrugalcrafter . And we all SO appreciate your sharing your incredible ideas & processes with us. THANK YOU! :o) Mo

[@nickisenn4133]

You have done it again! What would we do without your amazing tips and ideas! Spend money we don't have to! Thanks so much. My grandson gave me two Bakugan metal cards and they worked!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

nice! You might be the only grannie with Bakugan cards LOL! I'm glad they are useful now that the fad has wore off:)

[@ShyFly1000]

Brilliant!!!! I'm always trying to think of ways to make sandwiches that actually work and most recently I was trying to use magnetic tape instead of buying the magnetic platform. I love that you came up w such a great solution for the flipits!!!!!! Thank you for sharing. You are awesome!

[@macer-music]

Hi Lindsay, what a wonderful idea, I have some ideas "in the drawer" because as you i think their very expensive pop up dies !!! I will experiment with what I have! thousand thanks for this brilliant idea. Besides a source of information and good humor, you are an expert in creating in quality and beauty but without breaking the HOME BANK !!! Thanks for sharing.

[@jmpetty831131]

And that is why so many people like watching your videos they are so helpful and have great tips to try.

[@kenjudywehner5626]

I love being frugal and love your crazy videos! Thanks for all you do to keep us from spending our retirement funds on necessary craft supplies....lol

[@cg232]

I like your effervescence and that you're always happy. Thanks for this idea.

[@BlaizC]

That is brilliant! So much easier than running it through part way on one end, then turning it and running It through part way on the other end. Thanks so much for sharing the idea!

[@MsMaria990]

you're the best Lindsay. Don't change. Love your tutorials and thanks so much for this one. Have a great one!

[@Margot4454]

There is no such thing as "too much of Lindsey" ! thank you for another brilliant idea

[@cyrrah]

You are crazy - I love it!!!! You have such great ideas and it's so much fun to watch your videos!! Happy crafting!

[@proudmommy702]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been eyeing the flip it dies for a long time, now I can make my ow.

[@stampyra]

Great tip. I'm sure we all have something hanging around to make these. I love that these flip cards have come back into the card making spotlight. AS usual, you put me in a good mood just from watching your video's. JIL

[@thefrugalcrafter]

aww, thanks:)

[@cmhorton]

What a great tip. Love your enthusiasm! One suggestion, when you get new cutting plates, flip them over frequently so you won't get that bowing. I wouldn't do it with those cause that might make them break.

[@jennyleigh63]

Great idea! Many moons ago, there was a skit on "Donny & Marie" that had the line, "We are Puritans. We make do with what we have." Of course, they were doing ridiculous things, but my mother and I frequently use that phrase when we have figured out how to do something frugally. This is definitely a Puritan moment for you! :)

[@gldswilliams24]

Thank u so much, I follow your utube channel religiously. ..love your ideas and hints, but most of all girl u rock as an instructor!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks!

[@ritamcguire9916]

Thank u so much for this tip, I have been battling myself with should or shouldn't I buy the dad gum 30.00 die cut. You have just saved me some money there so I can buy something else, love your videos!

[@stamps4fungin]

Love your silliness. I have diamond dies and rarely use them. Maybe I can figure something out for those. TFS

[@sparkle5ms]

Wow I love this tutorial!! well done I must say I am ever so glad I found your channel a while back you are so vibrant and alive. Thanks for sharing Mary katherine

[@marlisetp]

You're a hoot, Lindsay. Love my new Sidekick, but am whipping out my newer (gulp) Spellbinder to try this right now, this minute. Experimentation time! Thanks, as always.

[@tammynickel4597]

I know this is an old video...but I just wanted to thank you. I wanted to do a pop up card and have the sides of the die not cut...and couldn't figure out how to do it..but this was a great solution...put a cut up cereal box in the middle. Thank you so much

[@lorrisbits]

You really missed your calling, you could have been the comedian crafter! I love these goofy videos, you make me laugh!

[@joanpearmain6091]

Just came across this video, thank you for sharing. Brilliant. I'm gradually going through your videos and there appear to be lots, thank you for taking the time. Inspirational. Joan

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Joan Pearmain thanks:)

You always make me laugh! Thanks for all your videos, I've seen a ton and look forward to more, even the oldies. God Bless You.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Laurel Fay awe, thank you:)

[@bluecurlygirl]

Love the two tone thumbs Lindsay!! I have those dies and wanted to do just this. Cheers x

[@Bridgton1]

Adorable! I remember this video before I even had a clue about what dies and big shot were. !

[@DeeLightfulCo]

These are my fav videos. How to save money. Like many crafters, I don't have disposable income and WON'T spend that kind of money for one die... TFS...dee

[@ericasutter2445]

Thank you Lindsey you just save me some money I was just about to order a circle flip card die. So what I'll do instead is buy some framelits of different sizes and then I can make a lot of different flip cards. I love your videos

[@msmartinigirl1]

Awesome! I wasn't about to spend the money on a die to do that. Good to know I can use my thin dies to accomplish this. Thank you!

[@dreamzkat3496]

Oh my! This was a great idea and thanks so much for adding about how to do it without dies as I don't have any yet and I love the look of this card! Your enthusiasm was quite catchy as well! :)

[@Taitcreates639]

[@littledott1945]

You are a riot! I can't watch your videos without laughing.

[@kmslhowell]

I have so many dies and this is a great way to use them more. TFS

[@amymclaughlin1201]

Just got a BigShot (for my birthday). Great way to make a fancy looking card with minimal fuss. You are such fun when you're in the "mode" Love your vids and your ideas. I esp like the way you are "use your stash" That's my mindset anyway. 😸

[@Pebblesmas]

Love it ! Seen many video's like this one, but this one was the only one where I thought: "yeah, still duable using half my brain", haha... extra easy, just the way I like it cause it motivates me to start on it, right away ! Thanx ! This is the only one I'm going to use.. waauw, looks like it's a piece of cake, brilliant !

[@MariBFlores]

So much energy!! Great tips, thanks for sharing :)

[@amara.nthine]

You're so awesome Lindsay, I love your personality, your videos always put me in such a good mood. And thank you for the tip both with and without a die-cutting machine, super useful. ^_^

[@johnutterson9628]

U /&

[@rebeccaebel2371]

Lindsay love this idea, got my doing some more looking in to if there was a way to use the thicker dies, being that i dont have many of the thin ones this is what i found and thought i would share Double Swing FlipFlop Card

[@kipperdsnacks]

Thanks for the great tip....and Your Hair is Gorgeous Today by the way!!! Love all your great tutorials!! Patti

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks, I blow-dried it:)

[@secondtuesday]

I just did a diy pop up card with the same die! I love this idea! May I have some of whatever your drinking? Great tip & love your videos! JanK

[@chaiscraftyadventures]

awesome, Love it, I have also made some on my Silhouette machine. They are super easy and it does save money.

[@mcescher1957]

Hey! Fantastic!! I have made these cards with my dies before, but never thought about making a jig for it! How thick are the cards you used, about the thickness of cereal box cardboard? I'm guessing that if it is too thick when you add the layer of magnet it might not go through.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you can use a piece of cereal box with 2 smaller pieces of cereal box in place of the magnet sheet and cards. You might waste a couple sheets of paper to get it right so write it down when you get it:) I only had to ruin one piece of paper LOL!

[@caroltodd2708]

what a hoot you are! the video was great!

[@mamascorpio]

And thanks for the note about doing it without a diecuttong machine too. I have one...considered it an investment in my career... but always good to know how to do things without it!

[@TheScrappyHoosier]

Thank you! I was wanting a flip it card die.

[@wilmadiaz5517]

Thanks! Love your videos😊

[@DDspaperworks]

@thefrugalcrafter Its because of BOTH those reasons, and the reason I keep watching. Love your humor :-D and your tips! DD

[@celinagolo]

You Rock L! I tried doing a flip card by cutting 1/2 of the die, flipping it over and doing it a again. It is physically impossible to cut both side identically. Ugh! I can't wait to try your jig way L! Did I mention that you rock? Thanks C

[@bejayroles5820]

Lindsay, have you done a tutorial for an easel card? I would love to see you show us how easy it is...I hope it's easy lol

[@thefrugalcrafter]

here is one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIbcd6ibfdF1rbs it is for a gatefold easel which is the same idea but with saloon doors that close it all up, super fun!

[@mamascorpio]

AWESOME!!!!!! THANKS!!! Yes...those flip it dies are way out of my budget as are many other regular die sets!

[@taniasmith9135]

that is sooo cool thank you soooo much. I live in New Zealand and they are $70 each over here

[@TheKazadoodle]

Woah! I live in Australia and they are around $30 to $35 here, depending where you shop.

[@sandyvan13444]

Awesome tutorial, Lindsay! thanx so much!! xoxoxo

[@ConnieHildebrand]

Love you cutie pie... Thanks for this cost-free idea!

[@craftymagnets]

This is a great idea, thanks for sharing!

[@Britgirl58]

You are such a treat! Great tip - as always - TFS - Julie

[@asht.4472]

I saw another method where the lady put the cutting pad over only half of the die to run it... It was Darlene DeVries's video called "How to Make a Flip It Card!" That method was pretty cool too!!!

[@vanmeertan]

What if you don't have pokin cards with steel in them? Think chipboard to cardboard coasters would work?? Cuz this is fantastic!! You can never get too much Lindsey!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

absolutely, I was going to use cereal boxes but I came across the cards, because they have metal in them they stick to my sheet of magnet sit it was nice but you can use anything that is the same thickness. You might want to tape them to the base so they don't move is all:)

[@jacstacey1295]

Lindsay, I got a free embossing folder on a magazine,But i don't have a bigshot, So my husband suggested that I put it through my craft Pasta maker.Maybe you could show people this. I needed to put it through a few times to get a good imprint Have you got any other suggestions for people without a die cutter..

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I have a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goOlomWNbLpsiq8 sadly my pasta machine bit the dust 18 months ago LOL!

[@deedeeinwi]

that is really cool....love it. no measuring

[@jamiekaus1037]

You make me smile.

[@roselinprimrose1637]

fabulous ideas thanks lindsay

[@rufus1931]

Hey, gal, you really need to quit being so solemn and serious all the time!! LOL, you always make me smile. Thanks for a GREAT tip! I'd seen those dies, but no way was I parting with 30 bucks for one! I'd though of the cut it with a craft knife, but I'm to lazy to do that,lol. So this is perfect! THANKS! R/

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I know, I really need to perk up LOL!

[@cindywebb1667]

great idea but couldn't get it to work. Wonder if its because your plate is bowed?
