Cut a sheet of cardstock at an angle to create 2 of these fun fold cards.
Supplies
- Cardstock (Stampin’ Up!® Thick Whisper White cardstock (8-1/2" x 11") used here)
- Decorative paper (SU Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (4" x 5-1/4") used here)
- Trimmer
- Scoring tool
- Other supplies as needed to complete the card (SU supplies used here: Dandelion Wishes stamp set, Melon Mambo ink, Whisper White and Melon Mambo cardstock, 2” Circle punch, Starburst punch, Powder Pink Shimmer ribbon, Basic Rhinestone jewels)
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Place a full sheet of cardstock in the paper trimmer in the "landscape" position. Score in half at 5 1/2".
-
Turn cardstock to the portrait position. Score in half at 4 1/4”.
-
Step 2
Remove the scoring blade. Position scored cardstock in the paper trimmer on the diagonal, lining up the upper right corner and the lower left corner to the cutting "groove".
NOTE:
The corners need to go past the "straight-edge" guides of the trimmer.
Cut. This will make two card bases. -
Step 3
Fold the right side over, then fold the top over.
-
Use a bone folder for a nice fold.
-
Step 4
Cut 4" x 5 1/4" patterned paper on the diagonal, upper right corner to lower left corner. This will also make two cards.
-
Adhere one of the triangles to the lower front of the card.
-
Step 5
Decorate the card front as desired. If embellishments will overlap the card opening, strategically place adhesive so it is only adhered to one flap of the card.
-
Decorate the inside panel if desired.
-
Step 6
Complete the card.
