How to make a flip/swing card with basic supplies (no dies/templates required!) Today I will show you how to make a flip or swing card using supplies you already have. If you have shape cutters use them (I am using the oval cutters from Creative Memories) but if not you can use an xacto knife and trace any shape. How easy is that? And frugal considering that the dies to make these cost $10-$40 and they only make one kind of card! I am using stamps from Rubbernecker: http://www.rubbernecker.com/ Wildflowers in the wind: http://www.rubbernecker.com/wildflowers-in-the-wind.html Cheesecloth Background: http://www.rubbernecker.com/cheesecloth-background.html *Rubber necker has free shipping on orders over $25, make sure you tell them Lindsay The Frugal Crafter sent you! Supplies: Cardstock Pattern paper Craft knife (xacto) and shape to trace OR shape cutter Stamps Ink Glue stick This project will take about 15 minutes. You can make 2 cards from one sheet of cardstock and patterned paper so why not make a spare for later?
