Gorgeous Flip Flap/Shutter card Tutorial



Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Blog and thank you for stopping by!!
I am really pleased with Today's project and i think you will be to! I am calling this a Flip Flap/Shutter card. It reminds me of those shutter blinds that people have in there window. Its a really cool design.

I came across this type of card on another YouTube channel called JK arts. I did make some changes to the measurements and also simplified the instructions a little as i found them a little tricky to follow. Please don't be put off thinking it looks really hard and complicated...its really not!!


I think this card would be great for Valentines Day but you could also change the Hearts for Cakes or Balloons and turn it into a Birthday card. It would also be great as a Mothers Day card.



Another thing i like about this card is that it folds totally flat. It also stands up perfectly to. A really great card for lots of different occasions.

  8. So I've just finished making this. Thank you for very good instructions . One idea i have now is to cut a slit and put the tabs to the back so they arent seen. I also die cut "HAPPY BIRTHDAY " and put one word in each window and I'm happy with that. I can't see how I can post a photo though.
