DIAGONAL JOY CARD

February 2, 2022

This card is a combination of two cards that have been around for a long time. The Diagonal cut card which can be done several different ways and the Joy Fold card which is usually a backwards card inserted into another card base. The Joy Fold has always been a standby card for me. When I am using a stamp set and I am stuck what to do with it I always fall back on the Joy Fold and it always seems to work for me.

 

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Basic Black, score at 5 1/2, cut from top score line to bottom right corner on the front of the card
  • Cut 4 x 5 1/4 BasicWhite, adhere to the inside of the card
  • Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Magenta Madness, with card in landscape position cut from top left corner to bottom right corner, this should fit perfectly because you cut the card 1/4 inch smaller, so following that would come the DSP, adhere to the front flap of the card
  • Cut 3 3/4 x 5 BRAND NEW! All Together DSP, watch your images! the 5" side should be on the side of your images, cut with the images right side up and the desired side facing you from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, adhere to the Magenta Madness
  • Cut 3 x 8 Magenta Madness, score at 4, adhere to the inside so the fold is on the right, centered on the Basic White, but make sure your able to close the diagonal flap
  • Cut (2) 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Basic Black, one goes inside the Joy card portion, one goes on the outside
  • Cut (2) 2 5/8  x 3 5/8 Basic White, one goes in side the Joy card portion, one goes on the outside. On the outside one I stamped the heart and greeting from Here Together Stamp Set
  • Tie a bow with the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon. It is amazing at how close that looks to the Magenta Madness


Here is a peek at the inside of the card

Just changing the color from Magenta to Poppy Parade creates a different look. I also used a different sheet of DSP from the All Together pack

Here is the inside. On this one I added a layer of Poppy Parade to the Joy Card on the inside

My initial card was created with the Delightful Dahlia. This one uses Balmy Blue, Magenta Madness, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron. The Designer Series paper came from the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper pack

Need a little help figuring this all out? Here is a video for you


Below are the supplies I used to create the Magenta Madness card.

My favorite part of my job is creating. It doesn't always come easy but this month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained beautiful Alcohol Ink papers. The papers were so beautiful and the kit included nine card bases which had the design on the front and back of the card. When cutting them apart you were able to create 18 card fronts. I started designing by cutting them apart and then went from there. Throughout the week I will post 3 cards each day for seven days that were all made with April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions

All this week I will be posting cards created with products remaining from my recent event. This card was inspired by the card below that I created for that event. I had a focus on creating masculine cards and when I was done with the event I had a set of the undone cards remaining. I had received the New Impressions Abloom which is only available if you are a Demonstrator until May 1, 2025. After that date it will be available to anyone. I used the products that were in the packet to create this card. Of course I added a few extra things. I will give you all the instructions on the page including measurements and products used for both projects
