swing card tutorial

base is 4 1/4 x 7 1/2 and you will score it at 2 7/8 and 3 7/8...patterned paper cut at 2 5/8 x 4 for the front and 3 3/8 x 4 for the inside...

Outstanding video! Thank you Patty for speaking slowly especially during the measurements. Most videos instructions race over the measurements. I felt as though I was sitting at your table and you were giving me an individual lessons. 👍🏼👍🏼🥰👍🏼👍🏼

[@JoPuttPutt]

VERY WELL EXPLAINED VIDEO!! Happy to know that I can make the flip it cards with dies I already have on hand "easy peasy"...take care.

[@jppeggy2]

thank you...I'm never sure if I'm explaining things clearly enough...it's fun to go through the dies you do have to see what they look like as a swing card...happy crafting...hugs~Peggy

[@sherylbrownhill3999]

Best explanation I’ve seen on swing cards. Thank you Peggy

[@maggiedalton997]

Thank you very much for making this process so simple with the way you explain and show "how to" and teaching me something new :)

[@densofpugs]

Thanks so much for the great tutorial Peggy! The styles will be endless. I was looking at the flip dies but didn't buy one because they are so expensive and they only cut one style. So this is great....I am glad you figure all these things out for us!! Hope all is well and hugs to Rose!

[@KraftyPaws]

Absolutely brilliant Peggy! Thanks so much for clearly showing how to do this card! Just love it! Big huge hugs! Kristina

[@jppeggy2]

[@amac722]

This is fabulous - ingenious! Thank you for the tutorial Peggy, it's excellent. Cheers! Arlene

[@DebbieSparrow]

One of the BEST videos on a swing card.. CLEAR AS MUD!!! But I can't get that plate through my machine.. It won't take it...

[@jppeggy2]

Debbie Sparrow the only thing I can suggest is maybe use thinner paper...good luck...tfw...hugs~Peggy

[@DebbieSparrow]

jppeggy2 I did figure it out.. thanks Peggy

[@DebbieSparrow]

jppeggy2 Did another today!! But my panel that you said to cut 25/8 by 4 and 35/8 by 4... That 3 5/8 is a little bit to big????? Clear as MUD!!

[@barbarakordish6593]

[@clairegagne6906]

Geez, I just found your video and it's great. I'd might try to adhere the DSP to the base before cutting with the die. This is so well done and I thank you so very much. Just a beginner in trying to make my own "special" cards and am loving it alot! Off I go now.

[@jppeggy2]

I'm truly amazed at the number of people who have watched this video...I love the versatility of the shapes you can use...I hope you'll do a video and show your cards...Stmpgrl (Paige) and I do two sets of cards each month...on the 15th it will vary but the end of the month (except Dec) we do Christmas cards...5 of each which we put into our stash...here's a link for the schedule for next year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoOtfpuAeM-mlc0 ...I really hope that you'll join us...I have learned so much in the past couple of years of doing this...everybody is very friendly and are most willing to answer any questions you might have...happy crafting...hugs~Peggy

[@acm8056]

[@thindsatnam]

[@springchick28]

Thank you for this fabulous tutorial! I can't wait to give it a try! TFS, Monika

[@jppeggy2]

I hope you do try it and when you do please post a video of the cards you made...I really like all the options you have for the cut out part, pretty much any shape you want...tfw...hugs~Peggy

[@create557]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I really thought I needed to purchase a special die. Tfs again. Diana

[@jppeggy2]

create557 the special dies might be a tad easier to use but this gives you so many options of size and shape and bonus it's basically free!!!...glad this helped you out...happy crafting...hugs~Peggy

[@sharonjackson4888]

Love this idea! You are a good teacher.

[@ALittleBitCountry1]

Hi Peggy....I love your card and your tutorial is great, thanks for doing it. TFS, hugs :)

[@stella1160]

Thank you very much, Peggy! You are super!

[@andreacerrato7926]

Peggy, Have i thanked you, for this tutorial? You taught me very well:) I was having a heck of a time, with my die from China. Ha you get what you pay for:) Thanks again!!😁

[@Top2tow]

Absolutely brilliant! Many thanks for sharing. xx

[@craftiquecards4278]

Thank you for this fabulous tutorial. Before I had any dies, I tried making a swing card using my paper cutter to cut out a rectangle. I thought it made a boring card. But I think using a fancy die is quite nice. And your easy to follow tutorial is a big help. Thanks.

[@jppeggy2]

Craftique Cards thank you, I really appreciate you stopping by...instead of a square you could swing it around and make a diamond which would add a bit of pizzazz to it...of course dies give you so many more options...I haven't made any swing cards in a while, I'll have to make some again...of course right now I'm busy with the pocket letters...just not enough hours in the day to craft lol...take care...hugs~Peggy

[@stmpgrl]

Another great tutorial Peggy! I'm excited to give this a try! TFS, Paige

[@autumnmoon7558]

[@scrappink41]

thank you for the great tutorial Peggy!!

[@jppeggy2]

thank you...I appreciate you watching my videos and your comments...hugs~Peggy

[@patriciawinslow8639]

Great instructions! Why didn’t you glue or tape the sides and centers down?

[@1batgirltl]

Thank you for making that so easy!

[@donnadreamsx3]

Ive always liked those cards. Great tutorial, You made that clear as mud lol. My Bday is next month can I be 29 also? Always enjoy your videos Peggy. Hugs always Donna

hi Sarah...as you can see it's quite a quick and easy card to make...tfw...hugs~Peggy

[@LindaLap]

Very cool! Great tutorial. Thank you!

[@jppeggy2]

they look so much more complicated than they really are to make...lots of options for cutting out the middle...tfw...hugs~Peggy

[@leraestout4286]

What type of tape is used in your video?? Thank you for tutorial, you make it sound so clear and easy.

[@mokrn]

Use removable tape of some kind. You can buy that specific type in a dispenser (3M or Scotch I think)or you can use some washi tape, which works well, too.

[@patriciatreslove146]

Thank you, Peggy, great video

[@jppeggy2]

you're welcome...I really like that you can use a lot of different shapes to cut it out with...I should make more of these cards...happy crafting...hugs~Peggy

[@WendysCraftDen]

Hi Peggy. Tank you for this video but please tell me why you don't glue down the patterned paper. I'm asking because these can move and would spoil the card?

[@jppeggy2]

lol, you're asking me why I did something 4 yrs ago??? I can hardly remember what happened 4 minutes ago!!! I did tape everything into place while I cut it...I'm thinking I didn't want to cut through glue and gum up my dies...thanks for watching my video...happy crafting~Peggy

[@MargaretMcGee1]

Thank You!!! Great lesson. Thank you for sharing.

[@chrissybee9801]

Thanks so much for this excellent explained Video.

[@lainie0628]

Thanks for explaining this! Can you tell me what kind of tape you are using?

[@jppeggy2]

thanks for stopping by...I'm amazed at how many have watched this video...I love how you can use any shape to make the swing part...that's just the low tack paper tape which I got at Simon Says Stamp but you can pick it up anywhere...there are several different brands around...mostly it's used as painter's tape...you can use washi tape as well but that's more expensive...happy crafting...hugs~P

[@Lovinglea61]

This is AWESOME 👏

[@patriciatreslove146]

Just did it Peggy, thanks again

[@poetspice]

Cool! I have about 3 flip it dies but wanted to use the think it's I already have! Thanks!

[@jppeggy2]

+poetspice ...that's what I like about doing it yourself, you can use whatever die you want...happy crafting...hugs~Peggy

[@DebbieSparrow]

Do you have a website in how to make a pocket card??

[@jppeggy2]

Debbie Sparrow no, sorry I don't...the best I can do for you is my paper bag card which has a pocket: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIuZq2WQjNl5pKs of course you can use any colour bag, it doesn't have to be the kraft paper...I'm sure if you do a search you'll come up with several options...hugs~Peggy

[@DebbieSparrow]
