'All About You' Diamond Flap Front Fold


Today I'm sharing another card made with one of the die sets I received for my Birthday. This one has the dies to cut the angled card side & layer - you cut it and attach it to a 5 x 7" panel which then becomes the back of your card. This was my first play with it and I was happy enough with my card until it was finished and I went to stand it up for display. It fell right over!  

So I will have to figure out a different way to use this set, maybe by adding a second angled panel on the right edge so it would open like an angled gatefold card? Or flip it around so the largest edge is on the bottom - opposite to what I have here?  I'm not at all disappointed in the purchase though as I know there are lots of options with it once I play with it a little more.


I added the stamped sentiment onto a stitched circle which is lifted up with one of the cardstock springs that I have been using SO much lately. I will link Sam Calcott's video below if you are interested in learning how she makes them. 


Here is a link to Sam Calcotts video where she shows her paper springs.
