Double Diagonal card fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

Have you ever made a double diagonal card fold before?  They're a little bit addictive and so easy. This layout is also a great way to combine coordinating designer papers & use up your stash!

Here I used the new Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP along with the With You in Mind stamp set.  I love the nice big greetings.

When making this card you start out with a base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the outer diagonal piece from the score line down to the corner.  This is then flipped and adhered to the attached card base.  Watch the video here or below to see how to do it.

I used the 'To the Point' punch along with the 2 3/8" circle punch here.  They work beautifully together.

• Two striking ‘WOW’ cards with Paper Strips!

  April 5, 2021

  ---

  This week I'm sharing the cards I made on last week's Facebook Live video.  If you aren't following me on Facebook yet click here. I host a video each Tuesday morning at 11 am CT and twice a month on Monday evenings as well. 

  I had a bunch of paper strips leftover from cutting out for cards and kits and created some fun & unique cards with them. 

  Save

  This is one of my most favorites of all of the cards I made with my paper strips.  I find the colors stunning together!  

  Save

  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Bumblebee & Daffodil Delight.  The 1/4" strips are simply adhered to the 4 1/4" X 11" card front and the excess is trimmed off afterwards. 

  These unique flowers are made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here. Each flower has 4 layers.  

  The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays set; seen here.  

  ~~~

  Next is another striking card using the same colorful strips added horizontally this time. 

  Save

  The pretty leafy die-cut is from the Christmas Layers dies seen here. They're on sale for $17.40 (was $29) now while supplies last!  the greeting is from the Simply Succulent set seen here.

  Below is the video with 10 unique and amazing cards all made with leftover paper strips!

• Happy Easter with a Floating Die-cuts Technique card

  April 2, 2021

  ---

  Our family gathers together for Easter most of the time; when we can that is. 

  We do jelly bean hunts with our granddaughter inside and an Easter Egg hunt outside weather permitting.  What are your traditions for Easter?   

  I shared this card on last week's Facebook Live when I did Paper Strips Techniques. You can see it here.  

  Save

  On this card I adhered strips or punched circles to our Acetate and then used the Oval Dies to cut them out.  I had to run it through multiple times as our acetate is very thick. But it die work!  

  Other products used here:

  • Word Wishes dies
  • Layering Oval dies (So very sad these are retiring!) 
  • Friendly Silhouettes dies (Greenery; retiring & on sale $19.20)
  • Tasteful Textile 3D folder
  • Little Details embossing folders (retiring & on sale $3.20)
