Today I have another project for Lori Whitlock. Have you taken a peek at her store lately? It is so full of fun things. It seems that I am on a birthday kick this week as I have two birthday cards to show you today and some more birthday projects later this week for Petaloo. Be sure to come back to see that.
Let me tell you a little bit about these cards. I am totally addicted to this style of card. It is an interactive swing flip card and it opens up by pulling both sides out at the same time. I wish I had made a video to show you because they really are adorable. Everytime I have shown them to people, I always hear a bunch of oohs and how cute!
The card is actually very easy to put together. On the girl birthday card I used the scalloped circle flip swing card. By the way each of these cards come together as a set so if you buy the file you will get both the scalloped circle and the rectangle. The scalloped circle card also comes with a mat shape so that it is easy to layer different papers on top of each other.
This is what the card looks like, pulled apart, on the inside. As you can see, you can decorate both the front and the back of the scalloped circle. Here I used some pretty stickers and another digital die cut sentiment that I found in this card kit.
The papers that I am using are all from Lori Whitlock's new Sweet Girl and All About A Boy paper and embellishment collections. I love the happy colors and the double sided plain colored cardstock that coordinates with the set, is perfect for this card that is decorated both inside and out.
And here is the boys card. I loved the extra mats that are included in the cut file. They really bring it all together for a nice finished look. I added some chipboard embellsishments from the collection as accents.
Then as you pull on both sides of the card, the inside is revealed. I used the same sentiment on this card as I did the other but just cut it a little bit bigger. Some more chipboard embellishments and some fun washi tape and it's done.
Here is a quick peek at what the back of the card looks like.
If you have any problems with putting your card together, don't forget that Lori Whitlock has a fabulous You Tube channel where her videos are all about putting her files together. Believe me, I've had to watch a couple and you know they are pretty fun to watch and very informative.
