Swing Cards

I have a fun project to share with you today, Swing Cards. These cards are almost as fun to make as they are to receive. Here is the how-to video.



Here is a guide with the measurements (start with a 5" x 7" piece of cardstock.) Just click on any of the photos below for a closer look.



And here are photos of the cards I showed in the video.









If you are interested in learning how to make the background I made in the card above here is the direct link to the tutorial on my blog. It is called Faux Marble with Metallic Markers.

Enjoy!
