Coming Up Roses

Annie’s Ink-Lings

I recently came across this special fold for card making and instantly jumped into getting started to make one.  Cards with moving parts are just so much fun to make and that is what caught my attention about it.  It’s called a Swing Arm card.  The “arm” swings open towards the right, which then reveals a top-folded layer that raises up in order to read the sentiment.  Just so cute and fun!  Did I say fun again?  J 

I die cut the "Just for You" once in purple and once in soft orange, layered and glued them together slightly offset.  Glue the scored 1 inch of the swing arm between the base panel and the first panel layer before you adhere any of the other layers.
