Here is another swing card to check out using the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge.
Fortunately, I was able to make a video of this to show you. I had one for yesterday's card but the old Flip Video camera refused to let me load it on my computer. Arrghh! Technology woes!
Today's card is cut at 5-1/2" which will make a nice A2 sized card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). I used the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge, pg. 52, as shown above.
Next, still using the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge, I found the matching shape on pg. 35. You can see the sizes I cut those at.
Check out the video below for more instructions (click HERE if you can't see the video):

Love this card! Going to make some of these today to have on hand!
ReplyDeleteLove your card and love the colors. I prefer a video because that way I can see exactly how it is done.

Love =)
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I like both--a video for watching especially if it is complicated and written instructions to come back to or when I don't have time to watch a video.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial. I actually like both a video and written instructions.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Julie T
I like both. I like pictures and instructions when it is not complicated, but I like video when it is. Thnaks!
ReplyDeleteI like both! Great card!
ReplyDeleteRa6352 (at) gmail (dot) com
great card. I like both the video and written instructions. Sometimes you need both to fully understand what the tutorial is telling you.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to have both! Once to see how it's done then the step by step to follow along as I make it. Love the card!
ReplyDeleteNice card. I really like both. Sometimes I'm in the mood to watch a video,then other times I just want to read it. Thxs for providing both. Liz

So pretty...I like a video better.
ReplyDeleteThat card is so cute! It's always fun to see your videos, Joy - I feel like I am crafting with you or taking a class with you! But sometimes, If I am in a hurry or it's not convenient to watch the video, or to save for later use, the written instructions are very helpful!
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Wonderful card! Love the instructions!
ReplyDeleteWatched the video, really cute card Joy! Been etching for a long time, never cease to amaze with your adorable cards.

I am definitely going to buy this cartridge.... beautiful cards! love the videos but sometimes just read the instructions...both are helpful. you always have great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI just got the Artiste cart and haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I love you card and the VIDEO is great because I need to see what to do. I'm not good with just written instructions. Thanks Joy

I am definitely going to buy this cartridge.... beautiful cards! love the videos but sometimes just read the instructions...both are helpful. you always have great ideas.
ReplyDeleteTerrific card. I usually need both. Video is great but sometimes hands get in the way and it's hard to see, so pictures help. But over all video is probably best. I would love to win this cart.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I like both videos and written instructions, but lean more toward videos.
ReplyDeleteUsually, I prefer videos (especially clear ones like yours) but sometimes a quality photo with supplies is better than a fast moving video when trying to understand how a craft project was done.
ReplyDeleteGreat card..... love that cart. Still on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI like to see a video tutorial but have written instructions as well so I don't have to keep referring back to the video. I usually watch a video once to get the overall feel of it, then a second time to take notes. Your videos are always great. Thank you for all of them! But I still wish you had the CCR cut file for these great swing cards!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I like both, but I think videos are awesome for showing details. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI do better when I can see something done rather than have to follow written instructions. Great card.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card! Love the video! Thanks for taking the time to make it! Have a Great Day!
ReplyDeleteI generally prefer written tutorials, with pictures and diagrams. That way I can print or copy down instructions easier than if I have to quickly jot down notes and dimensions while watching a video.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Absolutely gorgeous! And I can make it too. Since I actually have that cart? Wow. Thanks for the tutorials, both yesterday's and today's. YOU ROCK!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards! I like written instructions.
ReplyDeleteI like both - and it's fun to have the videos sometimes - you learn little techniques that you would otherwise not see.
ReplyDeleteThis cartridge is going on my wish list! I love all the options there are and it looks like so much could be done with this cartridge.
ReplyDeleteYesterday you inspired me to make the first swing card, and I made 4 of them! Now I see I have more cards to make. Thanks for the inspiration and for your video too!
ReplyDeleteI like video instructions most of the time better.
ReplyDeleteThis Is so COOL! Love it!
ReplyDeletelove it.
ReplyDeleteReally love this card! For more complicated cards or 3-D objects, I like video instructions so that I can see how it goes together. For simpler cards, I like written instructions with all the dimensions, etc. I have found, however, that I tend to remember better when I watch a video!
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how complex the project is. It's nice to have written instructions as I can print them to have for future reference but it's also nice to be able to see how to do something.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this video.
ReplyDeleteI really need both the video and the written directions. I am a visual learner so I need to see it done once. But after I see it, I like to keep a "hard copy" of what is produced, along with written specifics so I do not have to find the video again for measurements, etc.
What perfect timing Joy! My husband's birthday is Thursday, he's going to be out of town tonight so I have time to work on a card, and I didn't have any good ideas! I like this card because you can make it whatever you want. It's a great canvas to play on. Although I have some of the "flip-it" dies from Sizzix that I use with my Big Shot, I have never made one of these flip-style cards on my Cricut. I am going to make this one today! Thank you so much for posting this. I depend on the vision that people like you share so generously. I look through the handbooks of my Cricut carts and often, I just can't see the possibilities like you can. Now off to pick out my paper and grab my cartridge!
ReplyDeleteVery fun card! Love the bright colors and the starburst in the center.
ReplyDeleteanother cute card, I love your projects always so inspiring,
ReplyDeleteTFS
Joy thanks for showing these cards no matter how much I look at the booklet I always fine something I missed before!
ReplyDeletesuper cute card and so easy. beautiful papers. tfs.
ReplyDeleteI prefer videos - i'm a visual learner.
Thanks for the video. They are a big help for me! I can't wait to try and make these cards.
ReplyDeleteI love to see a video, but clear, concise directions with still pictures are great to refer back to. I really like your swing card. Thanks for always offering great giveaways!
ReplyDeleteCute card! I usually prefer written instructions with photos so I can scan for exactly the info I need. But if I'm learning a new technique, or a project is especially complicated, a video can really help me understand the process. Thanks for all you do to keep us inspired!
ReplyDeleteFor me...I like both types of directions! I read it through and go to the video to cement it into this ol' brain! I am loving these swing cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat swing card...thanks for the tutorial!!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful card! You are the woman! Thank you!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome. I love it. I would love to make this card. I love making cards and watching people smile. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI just love swing cards. The colors you chose makes me think of a summer day. They also remind me of a very tall glass of lemonade.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.

Love it! I've got to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love the card. Thank you so much for the video. People like me really need it.
ReplyDeleteGreat card, can't wait to get this cartridge (on wish list)! I like both videos and written directions, the written ones I can print out to help with sizes and stuff too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the detailed instructions for the swing cards (love the pics of the handbook, etc...that helps me a ton!!!). Lovely card too :)
ReplyDeleteI like video's better I think :) Thanks, LOVE this card!
ReplyDeleteHi Joy! What a pretty card...love the fold and the cheery paper combos too. TFS I had no idea the Artiste cart had such neat special folded cards on it, so glad you showed us because I've been wanting a Sizzix die that does the same card, but I think it finishes as much smaller. LOVE when I learn something like this from you. As for your question today, I like both vids and written directions...I learn little extras from both and appreciate you putting so much effort into them all :)

I don't mind written instructions but video is usually SO much more clear to understand. Thank you for another TOO COOL giveaway!! kweenbee_612@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI prefer video instructions. I've always been a visual learner.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this opportunity to win an awesome prize!

WOW Joy what a fantastic card and so~~~ so love your video. Gosh girl you sure had lots of surprises waiting for me upon my return from my vacation. Love what you have been finding, creating and sharing. You ROCK!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have made the CTMH cartridges worth their weight in gold. Loved them before but now WOW!!!
Love the swing cards!! Great and helpful video, too. I have this cartridge, but haven't made a swing card yet. Thanks for the motivation!
ReplyDeleteI loved the video and I think I will be making some of these cards..TFS

I prefer video when I have computer access, but written instructions work if I only have my phone for reading.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! TFS.
ReplyDeleteI like both videos and written tutorials as long as there are pictures.

Great card! I love the colors used.
ReplyDeleteLove your swing card~! TFS
ReplyDeleteLove the video! Artiste is a great cart, but some of the projects are a bit hard to understand in the book. Your video really cleared up the confusion for me! Please make more Artiste projects, so we can really enjoy that cartridge. Thank you. BethAnn M>
ReplyDeleteI like either way. Video's are great if the project is a bit confusing or complicated. It might help beginners understand the process of a project better. I'm o.k. with either one. By the way, love the swing card. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteLove the swing cards. Have never tried one but will now. Thanks for the video too.
ReplyDeleteLove your site. Get up every morning and check my email to see whats new. Thank you for all you do. tvsbay from michigan
ReplyDeleteI love this one also! I would absolutely love to have this cartridge and stamps. I love both the written instructions and the video - the visual to actually see how it comes together and the written one to refer back to so I can keep it beside me and read off what I do next.
ReplyDeleteReally cute card, again. I much prefer a video. Written instructions just can't do what a video can.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. I need to get this cartridge.
ReplyDeleteLove this card, its so bright and cheery! I prefer written instructions, as its hard to sit down and watch videos with my boys!
ReplyDeleteLove this card. I used to love written instructions, but find now that a video is much more effective. Thank you for the great ideas.
ReplyDeletePanessa
I actually need both types of instructions. Thanks for the the great swing card examples.
ReplyDeletei love your card. i like the written instructions!
ReplyDeleteWhat another great card!! I learn (and remember) best from both video and written instructions :)
ReplyDeletesueot33@yahoo.com
Written is hands on instantly. Both are exceptional. Great card as always. KR
ReplyDeleteWow I'm learning allot about these cartridge I had no idea of. Thanks for the great videos. I am on the fence I normally like videos but good written instructions are great too. Thanks for all the great ideas.
ReplyDeleteWow, fabulous card, and I like the video which helps explains it so easily. Visual is good.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such fun stuff to show us!!! Thanks for the videos etc.!! This is my go-to-MUST- stop on Bloglovin'!
