Traditions of Christmas Diagonal Tuck Card

Here is another Diagonal Tuck design by Lisa Curcio. I ran with her idea, but chose different papers, and fussy cut an image from the DSP, instead of stamping the image! It's really quite festive and so easy to do! I also grabbed a square of Old Olive foiled DSP from the Gathering Together DSP in the Online Store. (I've done this before, too!)

Measurements:

Real Red: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 3 1/2" square (inside, cut diagonally), scrap (bottom sentiment)
Traditions of Christmas DSP (N)(MC): 1 1/4" x 4" (red poinsettia)(bottom) 4" x 5" (Old Olive Plaid); Fussy Cut Image
Gatherings Together DSP (N)(OE): 3 3/4" square (Old Olive Foil Stripe)

To Make this Card:

Score Real Red base @ 1 1/2" - 6 3/4". Cut "top" diagonally as shown in the above template.
Fold "diagonal cut" in a "mountain" fold, and the bottom in a "valley" fold. The point of the "diagonal cut" will tuck into the bottom!
Next, decorate the "top, diagonal" layer. For this one, I diagonally cut the Old Olive Stripe DSP, and adhered it to the top flap.
Then, I "fussy cut" an image from the Traditions of Christmas DSP, and adhered it along the diagonal cut.
Adhere the Red "poinsettia" strip to bottom flap.
Stamp sentiment in Real Red ink onto scrap of White. Die cut with shape from the Traditional Labels Dies. Set aside.
Next, adhere Old Olive Plaid piece to the inside, with the top edge near the top fold.
Take the 3 1/2" White square and cut diagonally. This will go inside the card for your message.
Stamp desired sentiment in Real Red ink. Adhere to inside, as shown.
Now, close front of card. Lightly mark the bottom tip of the diagonally with a pencil.
Open up and place narrow Tear n Tape onto the left INSIDE edge of the bottom, and the INSIDE edge on the right side, up to Pencil mark. (You still need to be able to tuck this in!). Remove backing and adhere. Check to make sure that your card will "close".
Next, adhere a fold of Gold Striped Ribbon to the bottom flap. Center the sentiment over the top with Dimensionals.
Finish with scattered Traditional Sparkle Sequins in Gold and Old Olive.

Delicate Pines Diagonal Tuck Card

I'm always on the lookout for classy, quick fun fold cards! I spotted this one shared by Lisa Curcio, and fell in love! As always, she shares several designs using the projects she shares! I loved the unique color combination of this one that uses the Delicate Pines Bundle in the Online Store!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 3 1/2" square (inside, cut diagonally), 3 3/4" square (stamped image)
Lost Lagoon: 3 5/8" square (die cut circle), 1 1/4" x 4" (bottom)
Everyday Happiness DSP (ret): 1" x 3 3/4" (Lost Lagoon watercolor) (bottom)
Wildflower Birthday DSP (ret): 4" x 5" (Pretty in Pink Gingham)

To Make this Card:

Score Thick Basic White base @ 1 1/2" - 6 3/4". Cut "top" diagonally as shown in the above template.
Fold "diagonal cut" in a "mountain" fold, and the bottom in a "valley" fold. The point of the "diagonal cut" will tuck into the bottom!
Next, decorate the "top, diagonal" layer. For this example, you stamp directly onto the front "flap". You'll want to lay the card front out flat, right side up, "mask" the top crease, and randomly stamp the "medium" snowflake in Lost Lagoon ink. The center of the "snowflake" is Pretty in Pink.
While you have the inks out, stamp the largest "snowflake" in Pretty in Pink ink onto square of "regular" White. Clean the smaller snowflake, and stamp in Lost Lagoon ink in center of "snowflake". Die cut with corresponding die.
Add "snowflake" to die cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies with Dimensionals. Set aside.
Stamp sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink onto strip of DSP. Add to strip of Lost Lagoon cardstock, and then to the bottom flap of card.
Next, adhere Pink Gingham piece to the inside, with the top edge near the top fold.
Take the 3 1/2" square and cut diagonally. This will go inside the card for your message.
Stamp desired sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink. Adhere to inside, as shown.
Now, close front of card. Lightly mark the bottom tip of the diagonally with a pencil.
Open up and place narrow Tear n Tape onto the left INSIDE edge of the bottom, and the INSIDE edge on the right side, up to Pencil mark. (You still need to be able to tuck this in!). Remove backing and adhere. Check to make sure that your card will "close".
Lastly, add die cut circle with the "snowflake" to the card front. Making sure you only adhere HALF the circle to the top, stamped front!
Finish with clear, Faceted Snowflakes.

Snowy Branching Out

I liked this sample because of the White "snow" on the evergreens. It was made by stamping on top of the Garden Green evergreens in our White Craft ink. Sadly, I decided to stamp off, and the White kind of disappeared! :( So, it is very subtle. I love the use of the "pine snowflakes" on a Garden Green background for the background DSP! Such a fun, simple card!

Measurements:

Crumb Cake: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4 3/8" (label)
Garden Green: 1/4 sheet
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP (N) (OE): 4" x 5 1/4"

To Make this Card:

Adhere the DSP to folded Crumb Cake card.
Die cut 2 "labels" from the Branching Out DIes in Garden Green and Crumb Cake, as shown.
Stamp largest "branch" in Early Espresso ink onto Crumb Cake "label". Add "pines" in Garden Green, and "pinecones" in Pecan Pie. Add "snow" by stamping, again, in White Craft ink.
Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink.
I used the "splatter" from the You Are Remarkable stamp set and stamped all over in White Craft ink. (I used this "splatter" because it was finer than the one in the Branching Out stamp set!)
Adhere the 2 "labels" together and adhere to the card front with squares of Foam Adhesive Sheet.
I finished the front with a double bow of Early Espresso Linen Thread, scattered Speckle Dots and Wink of Stella on the "evergreens".
For the inside, I first stamped the corner of the White layer, or you could add a nice 1/2" strip of the DSP.
