Welcome to Team Stamp It’s March Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us. This month, we feature handmade greeting cards and projects focusing on Easter. Visit each blog on the hop to gain inspiration for your Easter and spring crafting. Be sure to comment on each for your chance to win an Adventure Awaits Kit.
This simple Diagonal Joy Fold packs a big punch. Especially when you add Stampin’ Up!’s Easter Joy 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. It features playful bunnies, Easter eggs, blooming flowers, and festive baskets, all with a hint of metallic foil shine.
Measurements and Details

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.
Easter Joy Specialty 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 from these two pieces.

Don’t you just love playing with brand-new paper crafting products? There’s just something satisfying about sitting down at the craft table with the fresh stamp set, coordinating dies, fancy patterned papers, and gems and ribbons. It’s fun to see how I can stretch my creativity.
Today, I share a few cards created with Stampin’ Up!’s Nature Walk Suite Collection, specifically the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and coordinating Nature’s Walk Designer Series Paper. The images and muted tones of the Designer Series Paper, make this a perfect fit for creating masculine cards. But it’s also suited for a variety of occasions. Be sure to watch the video below to see more samples.
I got caught in using the large leaf die as my focal point. So stay tuned in the next few weeks to get inspiration for using the whole bundle.
