A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

Save

It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end.

I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

Here's the inside view:

• Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

  October 27, 2020

  ---

  Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week.  It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.  

  Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects! 

  Save

  Which one do you prefer?  Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

  I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image. 

  Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle.  I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut.  The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

  Have you decided on your favorite yet?  

  I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow.  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!
