Hey
there, it’s Freda from CannCreate Designs, stopping by with a quick Christmas
Card Project. It seems that once people discovered the swing cards on the
Artiste cartridge they are popping up everywhere. The designs with the
coordinating cuts make the swing card extremely easy to make. I used my
Imagine to print double sided paper from the Christmas Wish Cartridge for the
card base. Be sure to let your ink dry completely before flipping and
printing the second side or you’ll have a beautifully printed mat and faded
papers.
Step
1: Cut the shapes listed at the end of this posting.
Step
2: Score card and fold in half. Score the front where indicated and
fold back to reveal the cut swing shape.
Step
3: Adhere the stamped 2 ½” white Shape 10 cut to the 2 ¾“ dark
coordinating color. (On the next card I will pop up the sentiment
piece). Attach this piece to the revealed window are of the front of the
card.
Step
4: Assemble the remaining 2 ¾“ shape 10, 2 ½” Shape 10, and 2”
white stamped Shape 10. Adhere to the center of the white doily.
(sorry for the blurry, the camera just wouldn’t focus on this for
some reason)
Step
5: Open the card and align the sentiment/doily piece with the front
sentiment so that the inside sentiment won’t be seen when the card is
closed. I held them in place with tweezers while closing the card so the
doily adheres in place to the back.
I
thought the card needed a little bling so I added pearls to the front
sentiment.
