25 days of Christmas- Splendid Thought swing card


I really love the simple line images from the splendid thought stampset but just didn't have much opportunity to show it in my classes but with the Framed Florets die it was a fun play card to make. take a base petal pink cardstock 5 1/2x 8 1/2 and score at 4 1/4 to make the basic A2 card.  cut a piece of DSP from the Splendid Day for the front panel 4 x 5 1/4 with upright image. You can adhere it around the margins to secure and run through with the diecut to cut the heart border and the oval frames.  Diecut a piece of white for the insde oval piece.  (You will have a whole mess of sparkly hearts and left over ovals which you can save for another project)


this mechanism is super easy

just take a piece of cardstock 6 inches by 4 1/2 and score at 2 and 4 inches to create a trifold as shown on the left.  you just want to tape it on the back panel only so that it is big enough to cover at least half of the oval opening. 

stamp flower and sentiment on the white oval.  I then close the card and adhere the oval frame and the white oval panel on the front panel of the mechanism on the right side only so that it will slide back and 


forth.  

take a piece of white cs 4 1/4 x 5 3/4 for sentiment panel for the inside. You can also stamp the mechanism panel with leaves as shown.  The DSP had a petal pink version and a seafoam green version and I just did not have enough for the whole class so some got pink and some got green- they are pretty either way. Super easy mechanism but big impact.

Enjoy! Lynda
