Diagonal Daffodil Fold

Here is a fold that I haven't done in a LONG time. It's a diagonal cut fold.  You take a full sheet of cardstock and cut it in half, diagonally making 2 cards with the same cut. I used the FREE SAB DSP, Daffodil Afternoon, which was perfect for this card fold! Along with the coordinating Daffodil Daydream Bundle.  



Measurements:  

  • Basic Black: full sheet cut in half DIAGONALLY, 2 3/4" x 4"
  • Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4", 2" x 3 1/4", scrap
  • Daffodil Afternoon DSP: 2 prints @ 4" x 5 1/4" cut diagonally (you will only need 1/2 of each) the other half will make another card.
To Make This Card:

  • Cut full sheet of cardstock in half Diagonally.  
  • You can fold by either folding points into place an creasing with a bone folder, or you can place into a paper trimmer or score board and score the lines at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2" anc then creasing with bone folder.
  • Attach DSP to each diagonal fold.  It will have a 1/16" -1/8" border.  Note: be aware of any directional patterns! With these daffodils, the matching card will have the DSP pieces switched so the daffodils can remain upright.
  • Cut Stitched Scalloped Rectangle from the 3rd largest Color and Contour dies. Attach the cut Very Vanilla piece on top.
  • Stamp single "daffodil" onto scrap of Vanilla.  Color in with Blends as shown.  Cut out with corresponding die.  Attach to rectangle with Dimensionals.
  • Now, attach this rectangle to one diagonal piece. i.e. HALF of the rectangle.  Note: this will not go from corner to corner of the rectangle. I don't know why...
  • Attach Vanilla piece inside card.  FInish as desired.
  • Finish outside with bow of Bumblebee Ribbon and scattered InColor Bumblee Dots.
