This week I’ve been playing with the Diagonal Joy Fold fun fold. I love that I can use different Stampin’ Up! papers and stamp sets to create this fun fold. Some of the other cards include the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and the Easter Joy Specialty Paper.
This fold may look intimidating, but it’s really quite easy.
Here’s the card partially open:
Measurements and Details
- Secret Sea cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
- Place your card base in the Stampin’ Trimmer. At the top, on the score line, align the top left corner in the trimmer track, rotate the piece so the bottom right point aligns in the trimmer track. You want to cut a diagonal. Be sure to watch the video to see this in action.
- Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 4. Align the top left point of the DPS in the trimmer track, rotate the DSP so the bottom right point aligns in the trimmer track at the same time. Cut a diagonal piece. You can now create two cards.
- Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 4
- Secret Sea cardstock measuring 8 x 3, scored at 4 and folded in half
- Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper (Petal Pink pattern) measuring 3 3/4 x 2 3/4
- Basic White cardstock measuring 3 34/ x 2 3/4. For the inside on which to write a message.
