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.
