Diamond Fold Card with Day of Gratitude

I was so busy yesterday that I really have time to cook.  So dad and I had waffles.  Just thought I would show you...bananas, strawberries, some of our fresh peaches, syrup, and whipped cream, of course:)  Yummy!!!

Okay.  On to stamping.....

Recently I saw this fold and was so fascinated by it.  So I designed one Christmas card and one Thanksgiving card with the idea.

At the end of the post are directions on how to score and fold it.

The Christmas card uses a stamp from Word Play.

Here is an up close view of the front. Don't miss the diamond at the ed of the string.

This is #126869 Be of Good Cheer Designer Paper pg 164.  #126999 Delicate Doilies Sizzlits pg 191; the #120906 2 1/2" Circle Punch and the #199850 1 3/4" Circle Punch pg 184; #126848 Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon pg 172; Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White card stocks.

And here is the Thanksgiving card that I designed. This is #126895 Orchard Harvest Designer Paper pg 18 Holiday Catalog, #121125Day of Gratitude pg 27; #122332 Crumb Cake Sem Binding pg 172;  Early Espresso and Vanilla card stocks;

The scoring and folds are simple.

Start with a 4"x 12" piece of card stock.  Score at 2", 4", 8", 10". 

Make a little tic mark at 6" on both the top and bottom of the card stock.

Then score from the tic marks out to the score marks like you see in the picture below.

Fold on every single score line.  Then pull together each end to create this look.

Do that on each end and you are ready to move on to decorate the card.

Have fun coming up with your own designs for this card with your favorite sets!

Please e-mail me if you have any questions.

Thank you for stopping by.

Sandy, those waffles look amazing! I can almost taste them!

I haven't been on your blog in quite a while. Boy you've been having some fun, Girl! How was the raft trip? Looked fun!

Sandy, after you've made the card, do you just glue it onto a folded card so it just sits there looking beautiful on the front?

Thanks,
Bev Pope
