Shutter opening/closing greeting card

[@elsieb3176]

One of the best things about making a mistake is that it gives you a chance to caution your viewers about what to look out for when making the card. Thank you for a fantastic, easy to follow tutorial!

[@deb1623]

Only using PART of a stamp ....brilliant! Using a marker to color only the part you want to use is so smart! Thanks for this tip. And for you I’ll use my high school French: merci beau coup!

[@mekagirl99]

I love your honesty andjust goes to show we all make mistakes and need to chuckle and move on....great card....

[@scrapbookingpat5377]

I like the fact that I not only learned another card, but that you teach me what to do when a stamping mistake is made. That in its self is PRICELESS. You don't know how many pages or cards I have thrown away due to a mistake; either at the beginning or near the end. It would be so disgusting and aggravating, that sometimes I would give up. You rock my world with sheer happiness. Thank you for a wonderful keepsake video. Inspiring!

[@stephig6524]

Thank you France for the video and tutorial. I love watching your videos. You are my kind of instructor. Very explicit in what you are doing along with showing it. I am not always the easiest person to teach and grasp on to things but you make it all fun and easy. I love your little oppsie daisies too because again that would be so me and it is always comforting to see a "pro" have issues just like everyone else. Thank you!!!!

[@ranjanivaradpande2821]

VERY nice tutorials I love to watch all ! you explain very nicely & precisely SO makes interesting to watch Thanks for sharing ! cutting small pieces perfectly without proper tools IS a big challenge for us who do not have these devices !

[@lisasstampstudio]

France, I love you sooo much! I laughed OUT LOUD when you stamped the "Hello" upside down. Thank God it's just not me that does things like this. LOVE the video - easy to follow and great directions.

[@FranceMartinFrenchie]

[@grannaboo03]

Such a cute idea. I love it! So glad I have the Flower shop stamp set, it's so versatile!

[@cindydaggett1290]

awsome idea never would have thought to do a card that way love it and easy to follow thanks

[@pforward17]

Thank you for a great card tutorial. I live in Australia and your papers must have been released earlier than ours as I have just received mine on a demonstrator pre-order. I made one today and as I haven't got a 2 1/2 inch punch I used my scan and cut machine to cut the circle. I had to adjust my shutter a bit as it didn't close fully at first. Good to know mistakes can be fixed though.

[@ranjanivaradpande381]

wonderful tutorial ,nicely explained too !!BUT I found getting correct edges,scoring line troublesome without proper board ,had to struggle to get that right & perfect ! thanks again

[@cathie1234567891]

Bonjour Frenchie... J'adore regarder vos vidéos. Vous faites de cartes faisant et estampage beaucoup de plaisir. Excusez mon Français tel que je le parle seulement un peu plus ...Cathie from Ontario Canada :-)

[@pattiepan]

Frenchie I love this type of card. And even though it didn't line up perfectly it still worked and gave the effect you wanted so all you have to do is put in that paper like you said to re stamp Hello. It's a good card and I like it a lot. pat

[@bijouxw1014]

Bonjour! Thank you for sharing this card, as well as doing it on my Birthday (last year) I am going to attempt to make this card and will have to probably fuss with it as I do not have the hole punch. I like the hidden greeting area that opens to reveal message. Merci

[@ritanovak5966]

Frenchie- You always have great ideas ! love your videos.

[@vernalapp2306]

You are the best!! Love this idea and what to do and what not to do!!

[@ranjanivaradpande381]

had problem with my Marvi uchida punch it wont go in the middle of 3 ' also, very little edge to it but was able make a card which was appreciated (thanks to u dear! ) (I am 72 years architect & bugs me if i cannot cut perfect square edges without much tools ) !!

[@kathys8734]

Hello, I just found your site and would love to try making this card...I could not find on your website as well...😞 Thank you for making this fun video😊

[@kathys8734]

The link did not work...😞

[@LifeOnSpectrum]

what do you call the thing Your using to have the exact measurement of the paper

[@FranceMartinFrenchie]

+Vicky Orido not sure what you are asking?

[@katrinamiles8164]

I loved it.

[@loriseabrook1906]

I love this card! Iam going to try it for a good friends bday! TYFS ! :)

[@caroleshay9153]

The easiest way to find the center point for the Shutter pieces is to put a ruler on the corners on the diagonal. The center of this line is True Center. Be careful that you have the line on the actual corners.

[@manishakinage9101]

what u have used to stick the paper

[@FranceMartinFrenchie]

I use snail to adhere to paper

[@sandyparker7874]

Frances, I love your videos and wondered if it would be ok if I did a version of this card on my You Tube channel, Crafting for Almost Everyone. It is a channel for crafters with physical limitations. Thanks, Sandy Parker

[@FranceMartinFrenchie]

+Sandy Parker OH YOU bet you can case all i do :)

[@sandyparker7874]

Thanks so much!

[@ShauryaPatil-u3s]

Nice it helped me

[@user-qy8tl1oi3b]

When the card is closed, what is the measurement of the card? this is a bit of confusing to me since i don't have a scoring board. Help please! Thanks :)

[@FranceMartinFrenchie]
