Tutorial - Rocker Cards

Today I'm going to show you the most basic type of rocker card... just a single cut and you are done! The idea of the rocker card is to make a card that rocks from side to side when you stand it up by shaping the bottom edge. Once you understand this basic principle you can go on to make a much more involved card with shaped cardstock, embellishments, weighted ends or even moveable parts!

1. Start with a standard card blank, mine measures a little over 6" x 8" but you could use just about any size you like.

2. Fold the card piece in half as if you were making a regular card. Turn it to a landscape orientation (long ways) with the open edges facing you. With the card folded, use your favourite tool to cut a section from the opening edge of the card leaving an even curve.

3. When you stand your cut card blank on it's opening edges it should rock when touched.

4. Decorate as desired and you are done. How easy is that?!
