WOOT WOOT!
You may already have seen Di's blog post about the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND having a NEW HOME - a blog space all of its own. But if not - GO TAKE A LOOK HERE. She has a lovely prize on offer to launch the new blog.
I'll be causing mayhem up in the new and improved Playground Treehouse, just as soon as possible!
I've made card full of snippets. I got the Balcony Card idea from Lesley's Stampin' Ground HERE and thought it would make a lovely card for a 90th birthday.
I had lots of white snippets to die cut from, so I decided that was the only other "colour" I was adding to the Wisteria Wonder DSP and Pool Party matting.
Only the 6" x 6" card base was cut from a whole sheet of A4 white card - everything else is a snippet!

| A card full of snippets! |
The measurements:
White card base: 6" x 6" (scored in half).
Decorate with designer paper BEFORE gluing the balconies on!
White inside (middle) piece: 5" x 2.5" (scored @ 0.5"; 2.5" and 4.5").
Flatten the card base and attach this piece to the bottom of the card base by gluing the little side tabs (or do what I did and move this middle piece UP A BIT for extra height).
White bottom piece: 7" x 1.5" (scored @ 0.5"; 3.5" and 6.5").
Flatten the card base and attach this strip to the bottom of the card by gluing the little side tabs.
- The left and right hand sides of the two balcony pieces were decorated with strips of Pool Party card and Wisteria Wonder SU designer paper BEFORE gluing to the card base.
- I lined up each balcony with the centre scoreline of the card base.
- Add all the die-cut and punched flowers AFTER you've constructed the card with its balconies!
What a glorious confection of snippets it is too! You have way more patience than I do! I've nipped across to the new playground blog and am following .... will be grabbing my lunchbox and heading back soon too!

Fabulous fun fold card! I like the new playground!
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for certain, you hadn't sampled any of the treehouse hooch before making this detailed beauty, but if we're celebrating a ninetieth birthday I'll join you at the top and will bring sherry and the last of the Christmas shortbread in my satchel! Hugs, Vicky xxx

ReplyDeleteWow Sarn this is a cracker, I do love a fancy fold, and this is perfect, from a lady with a LOVELY name :)
ReplyDeleteThe recipient will be bowled over to receive this…..well, as long as there’s a comfy chair to break the fall.
Talking of which, I’ve heard a rumour there’s a new comfy chair in the treehouse, so I’m rushing off to try it out, and hopefully catch Vicky with the Sherry xx
Wow this is striking, unique and so eye catching. Great design and great use of all those snippets x.
ReplyDeleteOooh Sarn, bad me for not getting here sooner. What a fabulous card and such a clever fold as well as positively oddles of snippets used. My word, your blog is the place to find out what's going on in the tree house! You never DID tell me when the bar was installed.
