April 8, 2022

I love this card layout! It is an easy way to show off a peak of your pretty designer paper! I'm calling it a Diagonal Split card.

I created this during a Facebook Live on Tuesday. Every week at 11 am CT I share a few projects to inspire YOU to stamp. Follow me here on Facebook. Click here to watch the video; there are three projects!

The card base is Gray Granite with white & gold accents. I used the Crane of Fortune bundle seen here. This bundle is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog; it will retire at the end of June.

Here are the measurements so you can try your hand at this card layout.

Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!

May 4, 2026

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?
