Photo Flip Card / Free Instructions
Photo Flip Cards are interactive mini photo displays with photos that flip back and forth when you pull and push a paper tab. Flip Cards are easy to make and lots of fun to operate. I demonstrated how to make a Flip Card on The Carol Duvall Show and you can click this link to download step-by-step instructions and photos.
Flip Cards can be made in any size, and you can vary the number and shape of the pages. The two Flip Cards at the top left in the photo above fit inside #10 envelopes, and the two at the bottom fit standard A-2 greeting card envelopes. You’ll find instructions for Flip Cards in two sizes in my book CARDS THAT POP UP, FLIP & SLIDE, along with instructions and patterns for for two envelopes.

This is great. You should have done it long ago, as you have so much to share.
I have made this numerous times, put it in altered books, photo albums and all kinds of fun stuff. Keep up the good work
All things in good time, Cowboy.
I love this book!
On this card I reversed the flip mechanism to make a “push” tab instead of a “pull” tab. It stays in the same position as the card unfurls, which seems somewhat magical

Yo Carol -
I am delighted to hear you like my book ‘Cards That Pop-up, Flip & Slide’! I like your ‘push tab’ version of my ‘Flip Card’ - I’ve never made the card that way - thanks for sharing your simple and effective variation.
