Cage swing card tutorial

Hello there!!,

            

                 I think I am infected with Varnas fever!! he...he..I am making more and more cards with these stamps and you will get to see so many more in future!.This is another deisgn I made for the last Mojo Monday. But missed the deadline.. :( So here it is for u to see!!

I am loving these backgrounds!! This time, it is the small birds I stamped in scallop circle.Inks are Stampin Up. I made flowers using heart punch outs..:)

Todays Tutorial

   Today we will see how to make the swing card I made in the last post.Stamp 2 cages in blank card stocks and cut the shape.

Glue down or tape down a small thread on one of the cut outs and place the other on it.Glue them together.

Trace the cut out cage shape on the front of the card and draw a line just 1or 2mm more than the traced cage shaped

Cut out the cage shape and stamp the background

Now place the cages in the cut out place and tape the 2 ends of the thread on the inside of the card.cover it with laces or PP strips.

Your swing card is ready!!! Here is how it looks when swinging,

I did happen to get her first design for review and This is what I have to say

•  I am amazed at the quality of stamps!!It definitely is better than most stamps in US.
• It tried stamping with Memento,colorbox,Distress ink,versamagic chalk,Inkitup dye and pigment,stampin up on all types of cardstock and it was perfect.Inks did not bead.
• A few small issues I had here and there, she rectified it in the current release.
• Overall I would say it is great to have an Indian branded,Indianized,pocket friendly stamp sets!

Here are some of the cards I stamped using this cutie sweety stamp set.

Birds with the bg stamp

This is a swing card. The cage rotated to reveal a similar cage in the back.Will post a tutorial for it shortly.
