Hi All,
A few weeks ago, one of my YouTube subscribers asked me to do a tutorial on a flip card. I actually created an extra fold in my version of a flip card to make it more interesting. I also found out that Sizzix has a flip-it die that will do all the cutting and scoring for you (not my version – the standard “flip-it” version). That’s very convenient, but then you’re limited to whatever shape you purchased. With the technique I use in this video, you can make it with any thin die… which means any Spellbinders die. Cool!
I figured it was time to bring out my owl punch – it’s been awhile! CLICK HERE to see other cards I have created with this punch. It’s just so darn cute.
Enjoy the video and have a great week!

Thanks for visiting my video blog! I post a new video every Wednesday and sometimes an extra when I have time.
WAY cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Your tutorial looks great and the card is as creative and cute as can be. Inspiring!
I attempted this card, and it didn’t want to work for me, so I changed it a little. I linked my blog to the youtube video http://pastedpictures.blogspot.ca/2012/11/experimenting-with-flip-it-cards.html
I am in awe of this video on making a flip it card! I have purchased all the Sizzix flip it dies and love ‘em all, but this opens up a whole new world of possibilities! Can’t wait to get home and get started. Love the extra cut and the additional framework idea! The owls are adorable! I’m finding that a very heavy cardstock works best on making these cards as regular stock is not heavy enough. Shirt boxes work well. I make one cut of paper and one of box stock and glue them together, but your stamping makes more sense. Let the Christmas-Card-Making begin!! You are quite an artist – thank you!
Wow – I’m impressed. This is such a cute card!
This card is so cool. Will definately be trying the flip it technique!
