Hi everyone! I am the hostess this week at the Paper Players, and I have a fun, bright color challenge for everyone this week:
I saw a fun fold called a Double Diamond on my friend Karen's blog a couple days ago; she got the directions from the oh-so-talented Julie Dimatteo and you can see her directions here. I got some Daffodil Delight cardstock and went to work!
I stamped two of the swimsuits from Sunny Splash in Granny Apple Green and Tahitian Tide, then fussy-cut them out and mounted them on panels of Basic White that were embossed with the Checks and Dots EF:
Sentiments from the Splash set as well as the Best Family Ever provided a greeting for the center panle, and I added a few sequins for fun:
And when it is folded up, it fits nicely into a standard-sized envelope! Fun and cute!
I hope you'll pop by the Paper Players blog to see what the other design team members came up with using these bright colors. Then, I hope you'll play along and share your creations with us as well! See you there! And thanks for popping by today--enjoy it and be blessed!

Excellent and oh, so summery! Thanks for the shout out and also giving kudos to Julie. It's such a fun one. I worked on another fold by Sam Colcott yesterday for 4 hours and still can't get it. It's the 3 peaks arrow fun fold. See what you can do if you have time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QeOIyG0ue8&t=590s Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteThe sunny yellow, green, and blue is much better than the new coat of WHITE I'm seeing this morning, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card - remember cootie catchers? LOve the dots in every form!

This is so cool, LeAnne! I love the warm colors and those bathing suits! I love this stamp set but have not gotten much use from it either. Thanks for sharing the directions....I may have to try my hand at it!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, such fun colors this week. I love your little bathing costumes and they work beautifully with your fun fold card. Thank you for reminding me that, although we had another 8 inches of snow this week, summer will arrive sometime :-)
