Well its' been such a long time since the retreat and I have been very slow to post Alice's gorgeous teapot swing card. ( it uses a paper hinge, like a brad )
It was fabulous to create something with a very different construction.
When I first saw this video I thought it would appeal to Alice's mathematical and precise brain so I sent it to her. OF course she didn't fail to amaze us with her creation.
Since a picture paints a thousand words it's easiest to describe the method through this video clip which shows how it is done. I hope you can follow the link - It's a Facebook Reel from KTCrafts.
The trick is to be very careful not to adhere anything to the two flaps. In this card only the bow is adhered to the flaps so that they are hidden. It was a good way to tidy up the card front.
I guess it's easiest to think of it as a "paper brad". It's a nice way to hide the teabag, or a hidden message or image. The top panel swings quite freely to reveal the treat underneath.
And here's an alternative version in different colours.
