Hi, Stamper. Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop, where I am showcasing my Diamond Gatefold Card!

This month, the theme is Random Acts of Kindness. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Wikipedia defines a Random Act of Kindness (RAK) as a non-premeditated, inconsistent action designed to offer kindness toward the outside world. (Basically, doing something nice for someone…) Did you know there is even a non-profit organization called The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation? How cool is that?!?!

Today’s Random Act of Kindness is my Diamond Gatefold card, which I’ll be sending as a surprise to someone who won’t see it coming. It’s just a little something to bring a smile to their face and let them know they’re on my mind.

My card begins with a base of Early Espresso cardstock, while the main feature is a piece of Designer Series Paper that I’ve folded into a striking Diamond Gatefold.

The highlight of my Diamond Gatefold card is a “diamond” shape cut from Early Espresso cardstock, topped with a coffee mug die-cut from the Designer Series Paper. Inside, I added a simple greeting: “Hello there, let’s catch up.” Below, you’ll find a video showing you step-by-step how to create your very own Diamond Gatefold card.
