Spring card tutorials
 

Many people have asked me about the square spring cards I have created so I wrote a tutorial showing how to fold and crease the cardstock. I am very honored to have had my tutorial added to the resources section as well as having it highlighted as a weekly challenge. You can view the tutorial here

Thank you for this tutorial. I have had this design in the back of my mind for awhile but never got around to figuring it out. you saved me a lot of thinking. I love your scenery cards. The colours are breathtaking.

Thanks so much for showing us how to do it, you made it very easy to follow.

thanks for sharing this is great!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just posted mine to my gallery and also to my blog! Thanks for sharing. These are much easier than they look like (which is always a good thing to be able to impress people! LOL!)

Lynn;)

Very nice tutorial!

librarian - if you right click on the file name, then selects "open in new window", it should pop up. That's how I open them anyway.

This is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to pull it together for all of us admirerers! Great job.

Your work is beautiful. Makes me think I will never get to learn that much.

I checked out your "What's up at your end?" aka "What's up chicken butt?" card. Very cute. Love your sense of humor. Are this spring cards meant to stay sprung or do they fold down into an envelope? Thanks. Sheri

Hi "Shulsart",

I'm very much a newbie. Thanks for the tutorial. I can't wait to try it. Love your photo cards, very artistic & painterly.

I guess I didn't reply to "Troopersma" correctly, but my first reply was directed towards her. Haven't quite got the hang of this yet. I'm still curious about the springing action. Will it pop back up if put in an envelope?

Thanks again.

Spring action
 

Yes, it will pop up when you pull it out of the envelope but after it has sat in an envelope for an extended time, it tends to want to stay flat. Thanks to all for the nice comments on my work and I am glad you are finding the instructions useful.

Very creative. Thanks for the info.

thanks for the tutorial. I can't wait to try it. Beautiful and different design. You do great work.

Your Stamping talent is amazing. I have to try that Spring card. Thank you so much.
Sharon

Wow! Your gallery is fabulous. You are very talented and your cards are beautiful. TFS

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the template! All your spring cards are fantastic!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this template. I've managed to make a card from it and was so pleased with the result.

YA know, I have done some of these cards before I saw the tutorial you did (which was well done) but I never understood why it was called a spring card cause mine just dont "spring". After reading your tutorial and the posts here, I now know I was creasing way too hard so that everthing lay flat. I was having one of those *duh* moments. Thank you for sharing this!!

where to find Copic?
 

Your work is absolutey beautiful! I am fairly new to SCS and have had a ball visiting everyone's blogs and admiring all the wonderful wonderful samples.

This is where I first heard of Copic markers, and I did look at their website.
However, the different types and all the color values totally confused me, much less where to buy them. What type do you reccommend and not sure if you can do this, but can you pass on any help on where to buy them?

Thank you very very much

Hi, I am new here. Thank you for the great tutorial. I am looking forward to making some cards. I managed to open the pdf by saving it first.

Your gallery is fantastic what a great talent you have.

Is there a gallery for everyones spring cards?

I have seen the Spring fold cards in the galleries. Thanks for the tutorial. Sandy, your cards are lovely! :-D

I'll have to give some thought to this challenge before I dive in. Hopefully, I'll come up with inspirations and have time to make a card today.

Thank you for the clear, wonderful directions. I can't wait to try it out!
