"I don't have access to quality craft classes locally so I spend time online to learn new things. For this challenge I want you to create a vintage or shabby chic project inspired by or using a technique or tutorial that you have found online. You must provide a link to the site that is inspiring your creation and please do not make a direct copy of anything you found."
I like to use my magazines to look at different ideas but I also enjoy using the Splitcoaststampers forum with their awesome tutorials for new ideas. I used the Double Diamond Fold by Joann Jamieson as my inspiration.
What I enjoyed about this fold is it stands open by itself beautifully and gives many surfaces to cover with different prints or stamped images.
This is partially open and again has a fun view with different angles.
I hope this has you thinking about who inspires you and using their inspiration to join in on the fun before the challenge ends!
The winner will earn the chance of a Guest Designer spot here at Frilly and Funkie, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
And there are Top 3 Badges for three further outstanding entries,
chosen by the Design Team, because choosing just one winner is so hard!
Thanks for stopping by!

Joann is one of my good buddies from Heartfelt Creations, and the girl knows her way around a fancy fold card! She is as sweet as she is talented. I love your version of this fold. The papers and images you combined give this a wonderful vintage World's Fair feel. I'm going to have to give this one a try! Thanks for sharing!Happy New Year, Suzz! Wishing you a year that overflows with joy and creativity.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Suzz. That's such a clever folding idea and you've decorated it beautifully with the altered Worn Wallpapers and various pieces of ephemera. The chain and belt fastenings on the front are an inspired idea and make for the perfect closures xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Suzz! Wow! I love how you were inspired to make this engineering feat of a multi-folded card! I am so impressed with how it all came out, and I appreciate the link to the tutorial. I love that you've used the Wallpaper on this--you've done a brilliant job of making everything cohesive. I especially love the collage at the center of it all! Wonderfully made! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous fold and certainly not one I ever expected to stand so well - a definite must try. Love the very vintage look you gave this with that dapper gent and all the great embellishments.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Suzz! I am in awe at your beautiful card. Thank you very much for providing your version of this card. I always enjoy seeing other peoples take on the same card. Yours is truly a gem! Crafty Hugs! Joann
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card and very unique take on this theme. I love the bits of added metal for the closure. A beautiful piece, Suzz!

So, so cool! I love the complex folded structure and all the vintage images and papers, but it's that belt fastening which takes it to the next level for me.
