Square card with diamond fold using DSP for Card Class June 25, Impressions Abloom and Greetings for All make it super easy.

 I recently posted a simple design for a card that uses more DSP than cardstock. The original design uses half a sheet of 12x12 and you can find the instructions and measurements on this post from May 16th. It also contains the smaller measurements whih we made at class.  ( using piece 5 x 10"). I was able to source some square envelopes ( 14x14cm) which will fit this size card.

Black and white work so well with a pop of a strong colour and I love these Strawberry Slush and Shy Shamrock versions. The smaller white square for the card front has been embossed so that the texture allows the white feature flower to stand out. I don't usually do black leaves but I love the effect here. The stitched flowers are from the Impressions Abloom dies and are quite a feature. These cards came together very quickly using sentiments pressed out from the pre printed sheets "Greetings for All".

The layout is the same but the different colours produce quite different looks.

The only tricky part is applying the adhesive to the front flap making sure not to get glue in areas that will be visible when the card is open.

You can find all these products in my Online Store here.

Be sure and check out all the photos and tutorials for cards we made at Class this week. There is sure to be some inspiration there for you. This is the earlier ( larger ) version I made using the same technique and principals.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"
