I'm sure that swing cards have been around for ever but I have only recently paid them any attention after I first saw one on Kim Fees Blog ever since I have been really keen to give it a go. You wait I'll have a swing on everything now.....till the novelty wears off!
I have used my Stampin up bright card pack to make the tri-fold card blank and the red detail. I have used the Nestabilities for the circle (a punch would do the same job!) I have just added a couple of snowflake brads to the top right and 2 paper snowflakes to the bottom left (these were out of a Lisa Bearnson cardmaking kit off QVC 100 years ago!) The red circle has been run through my Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and highlighted with glitter dots and a gem. I LOVE CHRISTMAS you can glitter everything and get away with it!
This is a close up of the swinging section. This was made using the Stampin Up greeting circle stamps and circle and scallop nestabilities. This is the same both sides to the same image and greeting can be seen from the inside of the card or when the section is swinging. I have used dental floss to attach the swing circle. I loved that Kim Fee had used dental floss on hers at the time I commented how nice it would be to go out for a birthday meal and use your card after as a tooth pick!
