Both the scalloped circle (cut at 3") and the "78" (cut at 1-1/2", welded) came from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge but both a similar font and scalloped circle can be substituted out using the free Cricut Craft Room Basics set of images found in the Cricut Craft Room online program.
Another way this could be done is by looking through the handbooks, knowing that Art Philosophy has a very wide variety of shapes, using a ruler and measuring the height of the corresponding shape on the cut out card, and then dialing that into the Cricut and testing it out.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on the swing cards Joy. Sure do enjoy getting your talent in my inbox every morning. It is very hot here in OK in the 100's.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in the 80s but the humidity and the rain just won't stop. So it is miserable. Love the swing card.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy for another great swing card tutorial. I have some birthdays coming up and will be giving this a try.
ReplyDeleteAnother great swing card. It has been in the upper 80's here and we are being deluged with rain. Today the rain has stopped and it is only supposed to be in the upper 70's
ReplyDeleteOur weather in Ok has been milder this summer. We are thankful!
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, Joy, for sharing your wonderful cards.
Another great swing card Joy! I actually got busy last night and made one for my son from yesterday's instructions and it turned out fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTracy Godfrey
I love your inspiration to do different cards and this is so fun! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt was a perfect 73 yesterday but supposed to warm up to the low 80's his weekend. Thanks Joy for all the inspiration! I get so excited when I see a new post from you.
ReplyDeleteI am just loving these swing cards!!
ReplyDeleteLove your father's birthday card. Mid 90's here with 100% humidity. Hot, hot, hot! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteToday it will be 83 degrees, with a slight breeze. A perfect day to open the window and get out the scrapbooking stash and create the day away! But tomorrow the temp is on the rise, up to 88, and it keeps going up for the next few days. Thanks for the chance to win such awesome products!
ReplyDeleteIt was 100 yesterday, but it is supposed to cool off a little today! Love the swing cards! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteIt's not the heat, it's the humidity....sticky, sticky, sticky here this morning. I've enjoyed all the flip cards this week.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all the swing cards you have made this week! And they are easy - especially when you have already figured out the correct sizes! Thanks for sharing! Beverly K
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy for the video on your swing card. I'm getting to know the Artiste cart because of your videos.

I love this card, thanks so much for showcasing the CTMH/Cricut cartridges, they are my go-to's! I actually made a swing card for my Dads birthday too after seeing your swing card yesterday. It's in the high 80s here!
ReplyDeleteThe 'First few years' cartridge is so cute. Eventually I will have grandchildren and it will be perfect!!!!! In the meantime there are so many other things on this cartridge that can be used is everyday scrapping.
ReplyDeleteit is in the high 80's here and very humid! these are great cards, really enjoyed the ideas for the swing cards,
ReplyDeleteIt's only 7 am now. Rained last night some. Very strange weather here in So. Cal. Just not sure how the day will go. Humid.... strange. It never rains in California...
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! It has been in the 80's here!
ReplyDeleteIt is the 80's where I live in South Carolina. However, we have had lots of rain and the humidity is high. I love summertime and the daily blessings it brings to my life, such as...the smell of fresh clothes off the clothesline, fresh vegetables from the garden, Summer weekend suppers with family on the deck and in the pool and even the rain because God sends Rainbows!! Thanks for offering this giveaway. Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's only been in the 80's here in Northern Kentucky, but it's been awful humid! We've had a whole lot of rain in the last couple of weeks also. Am loving the swing cards!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cards! Thanks for always taking the time to do videos:) Outstanding job always!

I live in Minnesota, and while we've had some warm (90s)and humid weather, it is GORGEOUS this week - mid-80s, low humidity and sunny! Perfect for getting out to one of our 15,000 lakes. Love your new swing card. I definitely need to try one making one of these.
ReplyDeleteHere in NJ it is hot and humid but it is cloudy with on and off rain today. Great swing card!!
ReplyDeleteHere in AR it's been HOT HOT HOT!!! It was over 100 yesterday, so I stay inside when at all possible :) Love this style card! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteIm in Texas also! Its hot!
ReplyDeleteGreat card today! I'm in Ohio and it's in the low 70's today. But it has been very hot and humid the last few weeks :)
ReplyDeletesueot33@yahoo.com
Great card! Even though our temperatures are below 90 degrees, the humidity is making it pretty miserable!
ReplyDeleteWeare in the 70's today--love it.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your swing card series! It was hot the past 2 days here, but rain, rain, rain! Now we are back in a cool stretch. I actually like it somewhat hot...about 85 is perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Still loving the swing cards. Indiana is going to be hot ( in the 80's) and also humid. It makes it hard for people who have any type of breathing problems.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.

I'm in Michigan and it is getting warmer, so high 80's. Love this card, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Michigan and it is getting warmer, so high 80's. Love this card, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI live in Missouri where we sometimes call it 'Misery.' Yesterday was a good day because it rained in the morning. It just cooled down last Tuesday's heat when heat index was at 110.
ReplyDeleteI live in the Southern tip of Ohio. It hasn't been that hot yet, like last year, around 80-85 or so. The rain never stops, though. It has rained every day for over a month. Very unusual for us. I love your videos, but also like the instructions where I can print them off. Thank you for sharing you ideas, and I especially want to make this latest card for a friend, whose birthday is next week. Guess that tells you I have this cartridge, well both of them!
ReplyDeleteWow, another great swing card.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll with these swing cards. another terrific one. TFS.
ReplyDeleteIt is in the high 70s-mid 80s here.

Hi, Joy I have been on bed rest for about 3 or 4 week now. So I haven't been outside but my son say it has been hot but not really hot to want to go and jump in the river after work to get cool off before coming home. But it is nice to hear how the rest of the world is handling the summer weather
ReplyDeleteHave a great day :-)

Wow, that is a great card! It is in the 80s and humid here this week.

Love your swing cards...I even had to make a couple of birthday ones. They are so fun. It's been in the 90's here in Utah, but the next couple of days will be in the 80s...great weather for my granddaughter's softball tournament!
ReplyDeleteVery cool man card! They are so hard to make for me. Not so much hot here as all the rain is making it very humid.
ReplyDeletevery cool guy card, it's pretty hot here today in MB Canada.
ReplyDeleteFinally a break from the rain! We see the sun and more tolerable temperatures in Westerville, Ohio!! Love your card craft ideas!
ReplyDeleteIt's been under 100 here in Illinois, but super HUMID. Hate humidity. We've finally cooled down a bit. I would love to win a new cart!
ReplyDeleteElaine S.
I live in south Louisiana, so its been super hot here, high 90's! Love that card, I have to get that cartridge and thinking really hard about signing up to be a demo..maybe you can pull my leg a little more:)
ReplyDeleteLove this cartridge! I have just really begun making cards after scrapping for several years. I love how it is a short project that i can fit in between all the other projects, jobs and errands that i have to do! Plus my "real" job--the one that has a paycheck attached. LOL I have a group of 4 friends and we all scrap together. we share our cricut cartridges around all the time and that way I have a better excuse to purchase--you KNOW that I will share it, therefore it actually costs LEss in the long run. LOL
ReplyDeleteI think I like videos better, so you can actually see how it is put together and cut, directions sometimes can be confusing. Thanks for the chance to win:)
ReplyDeletealso a texan...hot, hot, hot!
ReplyDeleteWe've had ALOT of rain, so it has caused the temperature to be in the 80's, opposed to 90 and up here in Georgia. Thanks for the chance to win the cartridge.
ReplyDeleteHere in southeast Indiana we just got through a monsoon and lower temps - finally made it to the 90's. Haven't even been in the pool yet (too cold for me). Thanks for another chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI think this new cartridge is awesome - making completing my grandchildrens books will be a snap. Would enjoy adding this one to my collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks

It's been 100 or close to it here south of Houston for several weeks - then we get a day of rain in the middle to make everything steam... fun! but it sure beats snow.
ReplyDeleteMore good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI'm also in Texas and the heat went into the 100's.It was not the heat that bothered me but the humidity. The air was so thick. Yuck! This is a good time to spend time inside and work on some cards.
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo cute! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jo
It's hot today but the humidity is low so it feels wonderful after the last couple of days and the bonus?! It's NOT Raining!!! We got a months worth of rain last week.
ReplyDeleteHow fun love the card and the fun tutorials/hints on the cartridges. Right now its only 68 with a high of 80 here in MI
ReplyDeleteLove your swing cards. It hit 100 degrees here in Denver yesterday. Supposed to be hot through the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with all these new carts especially your giveaway!! Would LOVE to get my hands on one of them! Anyways I'm in Northern California and the weather has been funny lately...not too hot...it's been about the mid 80's if that!! Can't complain!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the new cartridge coming out, it will be added to my wish list. I'm in Wisconsin and it is 80 degree today, humidity is down today but will be back up for the next week and in the high 80's to 90's - I can stand the hot but hate when the humidity is high.
ReplyDeleteLike the card and I'm sure your Dad will as well. Yes, the over 100's here in Texas. I prefer winter time myself. Don't care much for the heat!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Another nice card! It was hard pressed to get to 80 today in the east. Grey and rainy all day.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, I love the number paper you used as the base - I'm always at a loss of how to use that type of paper but yours looks awesome! Its been in the low 90s the last couple of days, its been a nice break from the 100s we had last week, so I hope it continues!
ReplyDeleteIt reached 102 last week, and that's super-hot. I normally can brag to my friends that my summers never average over 95 degrees...not this year.
ReplyDeleteIt's downright cold here this week. Only about 40. Brr...just right for crafting, though, and I'm so excited about your tutorial. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou just read my mind. I needed a card for an Aunt's 70th birthday party. Thanks,rosebud114
ReplyDeleteI have had both of these CTMH Cricut Bundles since they came out and never realized you could make Swing Cards!!
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for you I still wouldn't have known. I asked some of my Cricut friends and they also didn't realize it.
So I would like to thank you for all your hard work, videos.
Also here in Long island NY it has been cloudy, humid and raining for the past several weeks.
Last Sat. was our only day of sunshine.
Thanks again for all the tips
I'm just south of you, in Houston, so hot and humid is the name of the game here. It's been in the 90's, so we try to stay in the cool AC when we can.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
Love 'em swing cards. Desert heat 100+ in AZ.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Fort Worth. It's supposed to be get cooler tomorrow. yay!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration with the swing cards! I hope to get some time to get my CTMH cartridges out and get my supply of cards back up.
ReplyDeleteIt's in the 90s here in GA. Thanks for the card examples!
ReplyDeleteIt has been in the 80's here in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteI love the swing cards. I'll need to get that cartridge. It has only been in the 80's and the rain wont stop here in GA.
ReplyDeleteIt's been in the 90's here in Wisconsin but it is the humidity that is worse!! Good thing for air conditioning to sleep at night and to dream of new swing cards to make. Love all your swing cards, gotta give 'em a try!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnita
LOVE these swing cards...great job! Thank you for explaining how to find coordinating shapes and how you size them up...you really do read our comments...have I told you lately how awesome you are?!!
ReplyDeleteOur temps in W. Penna have been in the 80s the last couple days for a much needed break. Hope you have lots of cool treats and beverages to get you through :)
That is a great card for your dad and I do believe he had you "late" in life. You are just a "young in" from your pics. It is 95 in California today which is much better than 112 which was the temperature about a week ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing ideas and videos...great way to learn.

This is Carole T from Montgomery Texas, and I love that I have recently discovered your blog!!! Great stuff!!!
