Wildly Flowering Diamond Fun Fold card

WOW!
Check out this fun diamond fun fold card!

I love the way it turned out & it is a totally Susie card.

This is one of the cards that everyone stamping with me

at my August monthly card classes will get to make!

 Many friends that were at my classes last week loved this card!

I used this gorgeous flowery DSP as the main part for the card base.

#163323- Wildly Flowering DSP= $12.50- pg. 41 ON SALE NOW= $10.62

This is what the card looks like when you open it up!

 This is what the card looks like from the back side.

Below is the pattern for this Diamond Fun Fold card, so that you can make one too.

How did I do it?

*the DSP = 5 1/2 x 12"

*on the long side score at 2", 4", 8" & 10"

*then fold all 4 corners in to the first score line as shown below

 This is what is looks like when the corners are folded in.

Note that I did adhere each of the 4 corners down with adhesive.

This helps to make the card base more sturdy.

Here is the pile of card pieces as I was cutting, scoring & folding them!

 

Notice how I added a scrunched up flower to coordinate/match the flower in the dsp. 

I used the #160576- Petal Park Builder Punch= $24.00- pg. 122

I cut each petal, using my Paper Snip Scissors, scrunched the flower

& added a little brown 1/2" circle to the center of it.
