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.

• Two more ideas with the Border Basics dies

  April 21, 2023

  Continuing on to share team swaps featuring fancy borders here is a unique card made by Paula.  I would never have thought of this!

  

  She used the Abigail Rose Designer Paper for her card front and the Basic Border dies for her lower edge.  The retiring Harvest dies seen here(discounted to $15.20 from $38) are the flowers on the front.  She cut the front flap with the dies as well as the back card base!  So cool!  

  The front flap is 2 5/8" wide.  Her card stock is Crumb Cake.  Love the brass butterflies inside!

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary using the Sending Smiles bundle.  The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

  She used the same exact die as Paula did above; the Basic Border dies are wonderful!   

  

  Her colors include Fresh Freesia, Navy, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight.  She also used the pretty Brass Butterflies on her card front.  

  The Designer Paper is the Hues of Happiness DSP from the Annual Catalog but it's sold out now. 

  See the Basic Border dies here:  I love these dies; they're so versatile.  Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

• 2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

  April 20, 2023

  ---

  Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average!  Wow!  They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up.  So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.  

  ~~~

  This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style.  I LOVE swapping with them!  

  Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.  

  

  Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies. 

  She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer.  She colored the image in with Blends markers. 

  ~~~

  Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.  

  

  She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List.  See it here. 

  Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog.  It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off.
