Hi
Can anybody tell me if I can cut a 'swing' card with the G C please. Thanks

Do you mean one like this?
Not unless there's a special die for it, which I haven't come across.

Well -I've just come across new Sizzix dies called Flip It, but they're the big dies, so they won't work in the Grand Calibur.

Hi -thanks for your response - yes that is the sort of thing I am looking for - so I guess it's back to the drawing board then! Once again thank you - Lin

I did a tutorial on the swing card using the cuttlebug. It'll work the same way in the GC. Just have to put the die and paper in only half way. I recommend using removable double stick tape to hold the pieces in place while cutting.

richhelen was a spammer, just taking bits from previous posts out of context - grrrr.

A swing Z-fold isn't quite the same as the swing/ flip-flop, but if you're happy with that, they're a fun card. There's a tutorial for those up in Resources, too.

Thanks Sabrina - I'll make a start with all the help I've been given and see where we go from there. Many thanks to all for the tips.
