Fun Folds are my favorite type of card. This one is a simple one to create and adds wonderful interest at the same time. I call it a Diamond Card. You will be surprised at the simplicity and want to make your own.

As you can see, the diamond is part of the front of the card. An easy peasy but bold look.

Creative Haven Stamp Bundle

The front tag and sentiment, as well as the inside, are from the Creative Haven Bundle. I love the fun and bold sentiments in this set. And even better there are Dies that match the larger sentiments. That is a double win. I used a smaller sentiment for the inside as it is a smaller writing area than a full white layer on the inside. Here is the open view.

Here you see the additional DSP and the writing space with this sweet sentiment. Since these little stars are included I simply had to add them!

Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper

The fact this gorgeous DSP is still around makes me happy. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. They remind me of my childhood home. We had a couple of giant bushes. Since my preferred color is blue, even in hydrangeas, this paper is one I really love. With the Hydrangea piece as the front layer, I added a smaller pattern from the same pack to the inside. It is a small enough pattern that it doesn’t take away from the sentiment or your note. And the Secret Sea cardstock has really become one of my Go To colors!

Extras

There are a few additional “texture” points for this Diamond card. First is the tag with the sentiment. It is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals for more depth. I always am happy to add a tag to a card. Since it is a tag, there is a hole for ribbon. I simply tied the bow from Cloud Cover ribbon and adhered it over the hole instead of trying to tie the bow through the hole. And finally a trio of Sparkle Dot Essentials are the bling. These are new and fabulous. Different sizes and colors of glittering flat dots. What could be better!!

Measurements

The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut 4 1/4 X 9 and scored at 5 1/2 on the long side. For the diamond you need a Secret Sea piece cut to 3 X 3 (actually just a smidgen short of 3 X 3). This is adhered on the angle and at the end of the shorter front panel. Be sure to place your adhesive back from the center line so it doesn’t bleed over.

For the front I used a Basic White layer of 3 1/4 X 4 to have behind the hydrangea DSP. And 2 3/4 X 2 3/4 on the diamond. The hydrangea DSP is 3 1/8 X 3 7/8. On the inside of the card I have a Basic White that is 5 1/4 X 4 with the small print DSP at 2 1/4 X 3 7/8. Of course the Cloud Cover for the tag is more a scrap but you need at least 2 1/2 X 3 1/2.
