Quarter Diagonal cards; watch on FB Live tonight!


If you're like most stampers you have a LOT of Designer Paper stocked up.  I've been on a mission to use mine up and help you with ideas to use yours too.  There's always more we want; so here's a way to use some so you don't feel so bad about purchasing more!  Ha! 

Below are the cards we're making tonight on Facebook Live – Stamp with Me.  It's the 2nd and 4th Monday nights each month at 7:30 pm CT.  Join me here. 

Be sure to follow my FB page so you get notified when I'm live.  

I chose to use the Magic in the Night designer paper; seen here in our Halloween DSP in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I love the colors of Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Black, Blackberry Bliss and White.  And as you can see some of the designs are not all Halloween!  

The greetings and die-cuts are from the Celebration Tidings Bundle seen here.  I love that it has multiple holidays and these dies are amazing! 

Here's how you create the diagonal layers; it's so easy! 

For 2 cards, cut 2 pieces of Designer paper (or card stock) at 4" X 5 1/4". Then cut each in half on the diagonal. Next put those pieces back together on your paper trimmer to reform the full piece (just placing; not gluing) and cut on the diagonal in the other direction. Now you'll have 4 triangle shaped pieces from one 4" X 5 1/4" piece.
I chose two coordinating pieces of DSP that would work on all 4 sides and that makes 2 full card fronts.

For the card below I chose to use the Gilded Autumn specialty DSP.  The colors here are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Vanilla.

  • Stunning Magnolia Mood card


    My friend and team member Bobby sent me this gorgeous card for my birthday.  

    It's Black, White & Basic Gray with just a hint of yellow.  That gorgeous Black die-cut behind the flower adds fabulous detail. The White layer is textured with the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder seen here.

  • Pumpkin Patch pop-up Fun Fold card


    Paula made this super special fun-fold card for our September Team card swap: 

    Can you see how the framed scene is lowering as the card is opened?  She cased this idea from Creating with Kristina who cased it from Sharon Armstrong.  

    The colors are Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow and White. Her DSP is from the Take to the Sky pack. The dies to create the frame are called Countryside Corners dies and can be seen here. 

    Isn't that neat?!  It's been awhile since I've made one of these types of cards but her card inspires me to make one.  

    This stamp set is called Pumpkin Patch and is part of our Online Exclusives.  See it here. 

    If you look closely at the stamped scene you can tell that she masked her pumpkins & fence. Her sponged sky & grass sure add to the realistic scene!  So well done!

    Today I'm sharing a really neat fall themed card swap made by Lori. It's so pretty!

    She used the Autumn Expressions bundle seen here.  It has the neatest double frame die plus the chain, pretty leaves and more. 

    She used the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP for her textured background and also for the scene inside the hanging frame. This DSP is unavailable right now; it should be back sometime this week.  You can see it here. 

    Don't you love the foil frame and hanging chain?!  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
    • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Textured DSP 3 3/4" X 5" 
    • Vanilla inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 

    Can you see how the frame lifts up?  It reveals the back of the DSP on top and the stamped greeting inside. 

    I love the pretty greetings in this set.  And below you can also see the dies that are included. The frame folds on the scored hinge but you can use it alone too. 

    Here's the inside view.  Her colors include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Vanilla & copper from the Textured Metallic specialty paper seen here. 

    Next is another pretty card made by Marla. She also used the Splendid Autumn Designer paper for this fun fold card. 

    One 6" X 5 1/4" DSP piece is cut into 3 pieces to create this neat card.  

    Measurements: She scored her 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" Cajun Craze card base as follows: 2 1/8" and 2 1/4". The DSP and Vanilla layers are all 2" X 5 1/4".  The best thing about these scenic cards is how the scene continues as you open the card. So be sure to cut and adhere the pieces in order.  

    The greeting is from Thoughtful Journey; the leaf images are from You are Beautiful & maybe Irresistible Blooms.
