This is the first template I've made for the robo (please treat me gently!) - thought I would share in case it's of use to anyone.

Love Hazel

One I did yesterday.

The cut out from the card front was coloured with watercolours and H2O's then put through the Cuttlebug and attached to the card insert.

Hope this answers a recent request for this type of card.

PS I have mirrored the front of the card and uploaded an altered file. The original file needed to be mirrored for use with patterned card.

I have added an (undecorated) inside view of the card.

A 'K' card made for my husband.

Have seen similar cards to these for sale on TV this week - thought I'd have a go at making up a template.
Can't put a photo on 'cos my camera is very sick!
A4 card isn't long enough to create a reasonable sized card in one go, so I've cut the front separately with a flap to glue onto the back piece (does that make sense?

)
There's a square and a round version and an envelope to fit.
Finished card size = 13cm square

Here's a scanned image of a made-up card, but of course it's only 2D

Have now managed a photo to show how it works!

Here's my offering - a swing card

**2magpies** · 25-03-2011, 12:01 PM

I am really into swing cards at the moment and seem to have made quite a few just lately.

They are very simple to fold and decorate, and have an extra element of interest when opened, as the inside part swings around to reveal your sentiment when you pull on one side of the card. (See attached animation.)

The attached zip file contains two cards, a scalloped circle fronted one with an oval inside, and a scalloped square fronted one with a rectangle inside.

I do hope they might be useful.

Edited to add:
I have had a go at converting these GSD files to .Studio, but have not had a chance to test cut them from the SS software yet. If anyone does try them, could they please let me know if they have any problems with them.

Two more swing cards, but with heart shaped fronts this time, one swirly and the other latticed. (See attached animation.)

Again, I hope they might be useful to someone.

Here is another swing card, but with a cupcake theme this time.

I do like the way that the inside of these cards swing around when you open them (see attached animation) as it adds that extra element of interest.

Anyway, I do hope that this one might be useful.

Two bell swing cards, one latticed and one patterned, in SVG, GSD and Studio file formats.

I hope they might be useful.

Diamond swing card for Dianamc. Did it ages ago but never got round to making it up properly hence the basic photo.

I was inspired by Shirley's diamond swing card to have a go at something similar and this is the result. My great niece has a birthday this month so I have put an image of a flower fairy on the front circle which obviously cannot be shared. I'm now working on an oval swing for my next card!
