I really like these Diamond Fold cards. Unfortunately I dont have a whole lot of choices for 12 x 12 Cardstock. The only cardstock I own in this size is from a slightly older Simply Scrappin' Kit (Hostess Kit). So, had to make due with what I had!
So, the base is done in Textured Bashful Blue CS. All of the open blue areas were covered with pieces from retiring Summer Picnic paper. I use my SAMJ just a little bit to line up a few of the pieces, particularly leaves of the stamping. The ribbon is attached using the Horizontal Slot punch, and then threading the ribbon through one side and then the other. The ribbon can be pulled tight when card is closed and tied in the front.
I hope this isn't too busy. I liked how it started looking but then wondered how busy it might be. My upline was actually over today, we went shopping and she brought me a gift from Leadership (the paper tote!), and she saw it and oohed and aahed and said that she thought it looked like DSP, so I will take that as a compliment. :-)
The sentiment I lined up again with the SAMJ, splitting the Happy and Birthday apart to go on either side of the card.
So, what do you think?
