Hi Stampers. Yesterday I shared a mini Twisted Gate Fold card with you. Today, I have a similar (diagonal gate fold) card that is slightly larger. (This card was made as the second card in the video and starts approximately 8 min 25 sec into the video.)
For today’s diagonal gate fold card, I used the same colors and DSP as yesterday’s card. This card started with two, Rococo Rose card bases 4″ x 10-1/4″, scored at 5-1/2″. Next, I made a small mark with a pencil at 6-1/4″. I scored a diagonal line from that upper left 6-1/4″ to the lower right corner (at the 10″ end). The two card bases were then over lapped (placing the 4″ x 5-1/2″ panels on top of each other) and were glued together.
To decorate the two front triangles, I used a 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ layer of Night of Navy CS and a 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ layer of Designer Series Paper. These two pieces were cut diagonally and attached to those front triangles using liquid glue.
The two sides fold into the card and the triangles fold outward in opposite directions, so when it’s closed it makes the diagonal gatefold closure.
The inside panel is 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. Night of Navy ink and the In Bloom stamp set were used to stamp the sentiment in the center. The two opposing corners have partial flowers (also from the In Bloom stamp set) in Petal Pink, Seaside Spray, Old Olive and Misty Moonlight inks. The stamping was done first (so the flowers could be stamped off the edges) and then it’s adhered with Stampin’ Seal.
For the front focal point, I used the layering ovals (they are retiring… sniff… sniff….) with Night of Navy and Basic White CS. The sentiment and flowers were stamped onto the Basic White oval and it’s adhered to the scalloped Night of Navy oval. Using Stampin’ Seal the ovals are attached to the triangle on the left.
For some added decoration (and to keep it closed) I added some Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.
Stampin’ Tip: I wrapped the ribbon around the card and then held it together with a pair of reverse tweezers, so I could use both hands to make the knot and bow.

Hi Stampers. Today’s card is a simple one full of Dandelion Wishes. This card uses the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and the Dandelion DSP from the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ DSP pack.
It all started with a Bumblebee card base, 11″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 5-1/2″. Next, I cut the front of the card in half at 2-3/4″. The piece I cut off was 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ and I rotated it 90 degrees. I added a 4″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Dandy Garden DSP to each of the 2 pieces of the front of the card. Stampin’ Seal was used to adhere the DSP to the cardstock. Adhesive was added to the left side of the piece of the front that was roated and it was adhered to the card base.
The sentiment was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto a piece of Basic White CS and then it was cut out using the So Sentimental Dies. This stitched / scalloped rectangle was added to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the Butterfly Duet Punch, I punched out three small butterflies, added two Basic Rhinestone Jewels to each butterfly. The butterflies were added to the card front using Glue Dots.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS with a 1/4″ strip of the same DSP as the outside of the card on the right side of this layer. The dandelion (from Dandelion Wishes stamp set) is stamped in the upper left corner of this layer in Bumblebee ink. Sweet and simple!

Hi Stampers. Did you get the Darling Donkey stamp set as a freebie during Sale-A-Bration? When I first saw that stamp set I KNEW I had to make a card featuring Eeyore (he’s my favorite!). Then I found the Kangaroo & Company stamp set in our mini catalog and it all fell into place!
Isn’t this card just the cutest? I made the background using our new blending brushes with Stampin’ Up! inks on Shimmery White cardstock.
I started with an Old Olive card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. Next, is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Shimmery White cardstock. This layer is ink blended using the new blending brushes with Old Olive, Pear Pizazz, Balmy Blue, Pacific Point & Misty Moonlight inks. During my facebook live, featured in the video below, I used several different types of cardstocks to test out the blending. I tried Whisper White, Basic White, Glossy White and Shimmery White – Shimmery White won, hands down!
The donkey from the Darling Donkey’s Sale-A-Bration stamp set is stamped in Smokey Slate ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. I used the Stampin’ Blends to widen his face a bit, so the tip of his nose wasn’t a ball. Kanga and Roo (from Kangaroo & Company) are stamped in Cinamon Cider ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. I created the shirt for Roo by just coloring it in. Those two are die cut out using the coordinating, Kangaroo Dies and Kanga was attached with Stampin Dimensionals.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS with the sentiment (from Kangaroo & Company) stamped in the center in Old Olive ink. To make the greenery across the bottom, I used the grass stamp (from Kangaroo & Company) with Old Olive ink and the Stamparatus with the hinge stamping technique. Lastly, I used the blender brushes to add a little more green under the grass.

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another Forever Greenery DSP card. Today I paired it with the Dragonfly Garden bundle. Can you tell that I’m trying to use it up before it retires? LOL This card also features more of my favorite items that are retiring. The Dandy Garden DSP (that fits the Dragonfly Punch), Stitched Nested Label Dies, 2-1/4″ punch, 2″ punch, Pretty Peacock cardstock/ink and the enamel dots.
This card started with a Just Jade card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. That is followed by a 5-1/4″ x 4″ layer of Forever Greenery DSP. Next is my favorite part, I used the largest of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies to die cut a Pretty Peacock label and cut it in half and placed it on either side with the points in the middle. A few Just Jade enamel dots give the card a bit of bling.
Over the points in the middle is a 2-1/4″ circle punched out of Just Jade CS adhered to the card front with stampin’ dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped onto a 2″ circle of Basic White CS in Pretty Peacock ink and adhered it over the Just Jade circle. Using the Dragonfly Punch, I punched the dragonflies out of a piece of the Dandy Garden DSP. Those were adhered to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. I used Pretty Peacock ink and the Dragonfly Garden stamp set to stamp dragonflies on the inside.

Hi Stampers. How’s the weather where you are? It can’t seem to make up it’s mind here in Idaho. My flowers had started blooming, then we got snow, now we are supposed to hit 80 degrees for Easter weekend. Speaking of flowers, have you used the Pierced Blooms Dies? They make some really pretty flowers and there are LOTS of dies, so you can cut out many flowers at once.
Stampin’ Tip: Cut out several colors of flowers at once and store the extra pieces in a clear envelope and place them inside the coordinating stamp case.
Today’s card is a Granny Apple Green card base, 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″. This is followed by a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Forever Greenery DSP.
The focal point of this card is a Granny Apple Green and a Basic White CS layer that was die cut using the Stitched Nested Label Dies. These two die cuts were glued together and then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using Granny Apple Green ink and the Lovely You stamp set, I stamped the sentiment onto the Basic White. Adding that pop of color to my card is some flowers cut out using the Pierced Blooms Dies with Bumble Bee and Granny Apple Green CS.
Inside the card is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Basic White CS. A leftover 3/4″ strip of the Forever Greenery DSP was adhered to the left side. Two tiny flowers, cut with the Pierced Blooms Dies, are adhered in the lower right corner.
