Diamond Fun Fold with the Zany Zoo Crew

This is one of my favorite fun folds! It's wonderful for showing off beautiful designer papers, and it's a great card to display.

This card is easy to recreate, you just need a focal image (or sentiment) that will fit on a 3" x 3" square, and your favorite coordinating designer papers.

I used Lemon Lime Twist for my card base. It's 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2" & 8-7/8". On the smallest section, make a pencil mark @ 2-1/8" and use your trimmer to cut the diamond shape.

Align the pencil mark and each end of the scoreline in the track of the trimmer to cut the diamond shape.

Here are the rest of the measurements you'll need to make this card:

3" x 3" square of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock

2-5/8" x 2-5/8" square of Basic Black cardstock

Stitched square die-cut about 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" cut from Basic White

Inside sentiment - Basic White cardstock 2-7/8" x 4"

Zoo Crew DSP 3-1/8" x 4" (2)

Zoo Crew DSP 2-1/4" x 4" (1)

Scraps of Basic White & Basic Black for the banner, turtle & raccoon

Stamp the animals & color with Stampin' Blends. Stamp the banner sentiment in Versamark & use White Stampin' Emboss Powder then heat set. Die-cut the animals and the banner.

Adhere the DSP to the card base as shown in the photos. Assemble the Lemon Lime, Black & White squares together. Stamp the music notes on the white square, keeping in mind the direction it will be mounted on the card. Use liquid glue on the folded-back diamond section of the card base and mount the assembled squares there, matching the edges together.

Adhere the raccoon, black banner & inside sentiment. The turtle is mounted to the front with Dimensionals.
