A Cluster of Diamonds

Good Morning all

Today i am showing a batch of Diamond fold cards, these kept me quiet for a long while!  All using the Tattered Lace Diamond Fold die set.  Very photo heavy so you might like to sit down with a nice cuppa and your fav biscuit😊😊

I used the die to cut twice into the card, like i did for my dad card, this works quite well.  Then folded and scored it all into shape, a bit fiddly but it doesn't eventually come together. I rounded the corners on this one.  Spellbinders butterflies and gems to finish.  One sheet of 6x6 paper is the ideal size for these cards.  

Papers are MME 'Miss Caroline - Dilly Dally'

and showing the back and where i put the sentiment using matching papers. 

No2  Spellbinders butterflies cut in co-ordinating papers, pearls and glitter glue to finish

Papers are - Teresa Collins 'fabrications'

again showing the back and the sentiment.

So today I am sharing these cards i made to celebrate Spring

Base shape and tree die cut using Spellbinders 'just swinging' , I then used brusho's to colour the frame/tree layer and a light background.  I then die cut lots of little flowers, the sentiment, rabbits, birds from brusho coloured cardstock.  Glitter glue centres for the flowers. 

I made a set of 4, all slightly different.
