We're on week 7! It's all downhill from here! Have you started Christmas shopping? If you are in need of a show stopping Christmas card I have it for you today! We are making a Flip Flap Shutter Card. I know it's mouthful but it's a spectacular card! If you've been following me for a while you might remember back in 2024 I made a flip flap shutter card for that years Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series. Well it turns out that is my most viewed video on YouTube, ever! So why not bring back a hit?!
This time, I mounted everything on a card base so not only does the card flip flap, but you can open it. Add a gift card, a sweet note, a photo, whatever you want to do for the inside! I used the Frosted Pinecones Bundle. This massive pinecone is perfect for this card. You need an image or scene large enough to span the three panels. With the coordinating masks for this bundle coloring the pinecone is quick and easy!
Lift up the side and the flip flap shutter starts to work and is pure magic! To make sure that you image lines up perfectly, I do recommend starting with one larger piece, do your stamping then trim it to the three panels. This will ensure that you have a seamless image that lines up perfectly.
There's lots of DSP on this card, I used the Timeless Christmas DSP, I can't get enough of this DSP. It's fabulous!!! Keep your embellishments and sentiments simple on this card. You don't want anything that will get in the way of any of the panels. I used the Multicolor Christmas Baker's Twine. I cut the length I need and separated just the Peaceful Pine color. This is a great way to get more from your twine. You're left with red and white striped, perfect for Christmas or Valentines. Plus, by separating it you have a nice beautifully crimped piece of twine! Make sure you check out the video to see this card in action! Pictured below I have a photo of the scoring and trimming of the three panels. Hopefully this helps when you're making one.
