Country Flowers Diamond Fold Card

 

This awesome fun fold card, called a Diamond Fold, has been a favorite of mine since the first time I tried it.  The images in the Country Flowers stamp set are sized perfectly to fit it!

The teapot and the flowers in it are 2 separate stamps, so I was able to adhere the teapot with liquid glue, then pop the flowers up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  I colored everything with Stampin' Blends in Smoky Slate, Old Olive, Misty Moonlight, Petunia Pop & Pretty in Pink.

This is the base for the Diamond Fold Card.  I used Misty Moonlight cardstock.  To create the point, make a small pencil mark at 2-1/8" and use your trimmer to cut from that mark to each end of the  scoreline, as shown in the photo.

Here are the rest of the measurements for this card:

3" square of Misty Moonlight cardstock

2-13/16" square of Basic White

2-5/8" square of Country Lace Designer Paper (Smoky Slate)

2-7/8" x 4" Basic White for inside 

3-1/8" x 4" Misty Moonlight Designer Paper for card front

2-1/4" x 4" Misty Moonlight Designer Paper for inside (to the right of the Basic White)

3-1/8" x 4" Smoky Slate Designer Paper for inside (to the left side of the center fold)

You can see another example of the Diamond Fold in this blog post from June 2023.

Fabulous Fall Birthday Card

 

The fall colors these days are so gorgeous and such an inspiration!  Not only the trees, which turn more beautiful by the day, but the pumpkins too!  Heading home today, I saw a huge field of ripe pumpkins not far from home that I never noticed when they were all green, but now that they've turned orange it's a stunning sight!

My card today uses the Christmas Barn Bundle and Beauty of Friendship.  The barn is stamped on Soft Suede using Early Espresso Ink.  The trees are Crushed Curry plus Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.  My card base is Soft Suede, the mat is Pumpkin Pie and the embossed background is Crumb Cake.  The trees are stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock so they blend into the background.

There's no white cardstock in sight here, just soft, subtle colors.  I love this Christmas Barn bundle for fall and masculine cards.  It's not just for Christmas!

Happiness Abounds with Brilliant Wings

 

Hello all!  This card was created for the Global Design Project Theme Challenge "Beautiful Bugs". This is one of those ideas that came to me in the middle of the night, lol!

I just recently bought the Brilliant Wings Dies.  My head is full of different ideas for using these, so you'll probably be seeing a lot more of them on my blog very soon!  This is a standard card base (8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored on the long side at 4-1/4") cut from Highland Heather cardstock.  The card front is Basic White 4" x 5-1/4".

I made this card by arranging 5 of the Brilliant Wings dies on the card front and running them through my die-cutting machine all at once.  I used Post-It tape to anchor them down so none of them moved on me.  I then carefully removed them and embossed the card front with Stampin' Up's Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (retired).  

The color behind the butterflies comes from a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.  I love the colors in this paper, but it's really busy on it's own and the butterflies soften it up so nicely!

I adhered the Designer Paper to the card base first, then used liquid glue on the back of the embossed piece, going carefully around the edges of all the butterfly cut-outs so nothing lifts up and adhered this on top of the DSP.  The last step was to place all of the butterflies using Mini Glue Dots and add some bling - Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels.  The sentiments on my card are included in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by!
