Here’s another quick and easy fancy fold card – without a lot of layers or fuss! I think the only tricky thing about this one was fitting the cardstock in my paper trimmer…
If you can cut it well enough on the diagonal, you could actually get two of these cards from one sheet of cardstock. This card features the retiring (and sale priced!) Peony Garden Designer Series Paper – which will be available until May 3 unless supply runs out before then. The sentiment is from the Lovely You stamp set and is on the sold out retired Layering Ovals Dies. Reminder: yamstamps.com/shop is the shortcut to the online Stampin’ Up! Canada store to grab Annual Catalogue retiring products by May 3rd!
This quick and easy fancy fold card has two diagonal flaps that open up to reveal the inside of the card. Essentially, you score a sheet of cardstock into quarters (score in half lengthwise and crosswise) then cut on the diagonal from corner to corner. That’s it! The Designer Series Paper is cut on the diagonal as well to fit onto the flaps. I used two pieces of 4″ x 5.25″ paper so that I could have two patterns showing on the front. I think these patterns would work well for a Mother’s Day card too! It folds to a regular sized card that fits into Stampin’ Up!’s medium envelopes so it’s also an easy way to send a special greeting to someone in the mail.
Are you looking forward to the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue? There’s also some sweet specials coming our way in May – I’ll be sure to post more info on May 4th when everything is “live”, so please come back to visit YamStamps.com!
