thanks so much for flipping over my clark kent superman flip card! it was my favorite, too. not surprisingly, i got several requests for the silhouette cut file or a template - ask and you shall receive! i'm new to silhouette (this is only my fourth project on it!) and i created the template in illustrator, using silhouette connect to cut it, which doesn't have a save as feature that i could find. so it took me a little bit to figure out how to get it in a right format for others to use. fingers crossed it works!
i'm also including a pdf file for those who want a template but don't have a silhouette machine. while the cut file is simply the card base because it's easier to cut the layers separately, the pdf file includes templates for layers like i did on my card, so silhouette users may want that file as well. when using the pdf for the card base in particular, i recommend printing it and cutting it out to use as a tracing template so that you don't have printed lines on your project. either way, once you cut out the card base, you simply score the top and bottom of both sides of the narrow strip that goes "through" the flip panel and fold. then stamp, embellish, and bam! watch the magic happen! speaking of watching the magic, in this case, a video is worth a thousand pictures, so i posted a 5-second flip on instagram the other day - click here if you missed it. i would love it if someone would let me know if the cut file works. if there are any glitches, i'll do my best to trouble shoot. and if you create something with it, please, please share your results and link here so others can create one too!
