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

• Shy Shamrock 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.
• 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.
• Easter Joy Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 4 (striped pattern)
• Shy Shamrock cardstock measuring 8 x 3, scored at 4 and folded in half
