Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!

I’m excited to share this neat card with you today. We made it at my April Card Clubs.

Isn’t it beautiful? It features the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here and the Delicate Dreams DSP seen here. This DSP is so pretty they cannot keep it in stock! Be sure to add your email to the product so you get notified when it comes back in stock.

This card might look like it’s difficult but it’s as simple as trimming off one half of the card front at a diagonal and flipping it over. Yup; that’s it! Watch my video below to see how it’s done.

My colors include Secret Sea, Hydrangea Hue (new in color), White and Crumb Cake. The largest circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. The small White circle is from Stylish Shapes dies.

We tried this layout in both landscape & vertical position. Which do you prefer?

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions, photos and supplies listed. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial with tips on assembly.

• Fun Fold card with two versions!

  October 6, 2020

  Saturday was World Card Making Day!  Did you make time to stamp?  First; did you even know about it?  

  We had a few stamping events on my Flowerbug's Team group and Mystery Stamping was one of them.  I sent them measurements so they could prep for the card making event but they didn't have a photo of the card!  Just measurements and supplies.  Use any Designer Paper, etc…..  It was fun to see what they all made.  

  Below are the two fun fold cards I made.  

  

  The front of the card is cut short to reveal the Designer paper on the left (inside) of the card.  Above I used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper and the Snowflake Wishes stamp set & dies bundle.  This designer paper is on sale right now at 15% off.  See all of the papers on sale here: 

  Next is a card made with the Gilded Autumn specialty designer paper and the Beautiful Autumn stamp & punch bundle.  You can see the measurements for these cards below. 

  

  Here are the measurements:

  • 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper (3 1/4" x 4" plus a coordinating piece 1 3/4" X 4")
  • Coordinating card base (9" x 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2")
  • neutral CS like White or Vanilla (2 1/2" X 3 1/2" and 3 3/4" X 3 1/4" for inside)
  • a coordinating layer of CS (2 5/8" X 3 5/8")

• Don’t miss this fun technique; use those Designer Paper scraps!

  Do you have trouble tossing those small pieces of Designer Paper left from a project?  I sure do!  There has to be a way to use them, right?  Well you can use them easily with this technique! 

  

  See?  It's quite eye-catching isn't it?  I kept the cards very simple to highlight the paper.  Each one features the Celebration Tidings stamp set. The card above features the Plaid Tidings designer paper; it's on sale right now too!  

  Watch the video below to get the tips on how to create these.  You just need some 1/2" strips and a ruler. 

  

  The card above features the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  The card below is the Tis the Season Designer paper; both on sale in October here!  

  

  Watch the quick video below to get the tricks on this fun technique.

• Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!

  October 2, 2020

  ---

  Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards!  They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month.  They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower. 

  

  We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker.  I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness. 

  Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here. 

  

  Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers.  It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done. 

  

  Measurements:

  • Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
    Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
    Early Espresso 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
    In Good Taste DSP 1 3/4" X 4 3/4"
