PP631 Hello Sunshine Double Diamond Fold Card

 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 guess I am trying to channel some summer warmth with these colors---we've had a non-snowy winter, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been COLD! So I thought some bright hues would warm us up!  I chose a summery stamp set as well, one I've had but haven't used much this year!  So here we go:

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!

CASC&S502 Sunny Splash Birthday

Happy Friday, everyone! I have an uber-simple one-layer card today, a fun birthday card in a summer theme, designed to chase away the rainy-weather blues we're having right now!  It uses the CAS Colours & Sketches sketch:

I got this Summer Splash set a while ago but hadn't inked it up yet!  So here we go:

I stamped the bathing suits and speckles in Mango Melody, Coastal Cabana, and Poppy Parade, and the sentiment from Friends are Like Seashells, in Tahitian Tide:

I did round the corners and I added some shimmery sequins for fun!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
