Apple Harvest Corner Angle Flip Card + video

Happy September!! While today we can only dream of cooler weather, hot apple cider and changing leaves, this card reminds us of the yummy apple treats that are to come!  This is a card that my Mom spotted somewhere!  Glad she did because I never did see it!  It uses the new Apple Harvest stamp set and just released TODAY Apple Blossom Dies and a fold I haven't done in a while - a Corner Angle Flip. I'll attach the video I did back in 2021.




Measurements:  

  • Poppy Parade: 1/2 Sheet
  • Basic White:4" x 5 1/4", 1/4 sheet (for apples), scraps (sentiments, corner pattern), 
  • Rings of Love SAB DSP (ret): 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Brights 6x6 Paper Pack (N): 3 1/2" square
To Make This Card: (see video)

  • Begin by making the corner "template". Take a scrap of Basic White, Measure along one side 2 3/4" and place a mark.  Then, measure along another side to 3 1/2" and make a mark.  Draw a line with a pencil, connecting the 2 marks. Cut along this line.  Save the triangle for a pattern (Istill had mine), and discard the rest of the piece. 
  • Fold card base in half. Place "template" along upper left corner of card. Score along "pencil" line with Bone Folder.  It should lightly transfer to the back side.  Flip card front over and repeat for the back side. Now, carefully fold along score lines, inverting the corner to the inside of card.
  • Take one of the DSP pieces and lay inside the card, leaving an 1/8" border.  Mark the score line and trim this piece.  Trim approx 1/8" from the cut edge.  Check for fit, and attach. Repeat for the upper side, if desired.  Measure each time, as each card and side is different!
  • Take the small corner you just removed, and start with it to cut the other DSP for the upper triangle. Attach to either side of small triangles.The inside layering is done!
  • To layer the outside, repeat the fitting of the front White piece as you did with the inside, DSP pieces. Using the scored/folded edge as a guide to cut your layer.  Always allowing for an 1/8" border!!  Run this piece through the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.
  • Stamp the 2 different Apple images in Memento Black onto White quarter. Color with Blends as shown and cut out with new, coordinating fdies!
  • I added a little Wink of Stella to the Apple Blossoms.
  • Attach the trio of apples to the front. 
  • Stamp sentiment on scrap of White in Poppy Parade.  Fussy cut and attach to card front.
  • For the inside apples, attach these to the bottom corner fold, making sure it doesn't get caught in the creases.
  • Stamp sentiment in Popply Parade and cut out with long label in the new Apple Blossom Dies. Attach to the inside of card.
  • Finish with scattered Red Rhinestones on the front of card.
  • These cards are tough to keep closed, so I added a clear velcro dot inside to help with that.
