Hi Playmates!
It's Sunday morning and time for a new challenge over at the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND with yours truly in charge for the next fortnight.
It's another special challenge to celebrate the 12th year of Miss Di holding the Playground keys. In honour of this event, Di and I have decided to add another theme to the challenge. So - please submit your homework on the theme of "CELEBRATION". You are free to interpret this as you wish - any celebration will count (new baby; birthdays; special anniversary or any other celebratory event) as long as it is obvious what the celebration is on your project.
To comply with the challenge theme, I've chosen a special birthday celebration.

| A diamond fold springy card. |

| Envelope already made. Remaining snippets of burgundy paper, plus other pieces of card. |
Hadn't made one of these cards for AGES and it was fun to revisit this springy card shape which, happily, folds flat for posting.
Over to YOU now . . . check out your pile of snippets, make something with them on the CELEBRATION theme, then come and play. There are 2 bumper prizes full of festive goodies available, so you won't want to miss out. Plus, you can put on your party frock and come to the Treehouse where there will be champagne and lots of party food available on the evening of 8th Jan (the actual hand-over date all those years ago!).
You can make this shaped card from any size rectangle as long as you mark the quarter and half points, then score and cut as per the diagram below.
That's a rather nice shapes easel card Sarn, will have to see what I've got to fit the bill.

ReplyDeleteAges since I made one of these as well! Super card!
ReplyDeleteLove this springy fold card Sarn … I never really make any fancy folds as I haven’t a clue, but perhaps I should try it! Love the die cut numbers as well … I have this set and it was one of my earliest purchases many years ago but is still incredibly useful for milestone birthdays as the font is so pretty!

Fabulous birthday card, like how your stenciling matches the paper and the personalized year!
ReplyDeleteChampagne? Wow!! So much bubbles to celebrate! I hope I don’t fall from the tree LOL :D
ReplyDeleteI have never made this card shape, but it seems so easy and I will make it, thanks for the clear instructions/diagram. Your design is gorgeous and very elegant! Love the dimensions of the numbers and the stencilled background that matches the pattern of the paper!
Ooopps... Ho scritto in Inglese, ormai è un'abitudine! :)
Un abbraccio, buona settimana!
I haven't made one of these before Sarn, but your diagram seems straightforward enough! Love the idea of it being springy - love to make my cards move! Love the background stencilling too (fab that it echoes the DP)! Thanks for inspiring us and go easy on the champagne - how high off the ground is the treehouse?
ReplyDeleteI haven't made one of these for ages either, yours looks great, xx
ReplyDeleteI always find fancy folds a bit challenging so I don't make them often but maybe I should give this one a try... It looks absolutely amazing and loving your choice of colors too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun design & so festive!
ReplyDeleteA special springy fold for a special birthday! And thank you for the instructions Sarn - sharing is caring! Hugs, Vicky xxx

Wow, Sarn, it is beautiful and will look gorgeous on display in the recipient's home! I will save your template and will hopefully try to make one of these. Even though I am challenged at making fancy folds, I think I can do it! Great celebration over at the Playground, thank you so much!
