I am about to become an Auntie twice!!! My sister is having a girl and my brother a boy!! How lucky are we? I wanted to try something a little different for my sisters card. Baby girl was not here when I made the card and the name is a closely guarded secret so not quite as personalised as I would have liked. But it was the summer holidays and we were about to go away and so I needed to be prepared
My inspiration for this card came from a Karen Burniston Card that I found on Pintrest. I love how the 3 panels float across the card base
I have looked at so many spinning cards but the mechanisms always make me feel like I need a degree in engineering. So I have simplified it with no speciality dies needed for the mechanism
A fun card for you all today, my nephews would certainly love this type of card base. With hindsight I think in the future I would use a lower weight of card. I used a 320gsm but think that a lower weight would create less bulk with the fold out and a smoother mechanism
I really love how this turned out and it gave me enough room to totally fill with images. As you can see this is for my Mum who is a total whizz with a sewing machine
I really am loving these diamond hammock cards so have created a triple one to go with the selection
