I wanted something a little different for my Mum's card for the kids and so came up with the idea of cutting away the part which would normally be folded on a standard diamond fold card.
This fun design requires no dies and is quite easy to achieve. The stamps used are Daisy Mae Design and were free with Creative Stamping issue 145
I have done bay window cards before but decided to try make the panels diamonds. Hope you like the finished result I know I do
I saw a Zig-Zag card on Pinterest by Annette Elias and decided I could adapt it to become a pillar card. This is super easy to create and could easily be adapted for every occasion.
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
