Regal Winter 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.

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

*Be sure you get this before it is gone forever!

This is what the card looks like as I'm opening it up!

Notice how I used the Peaceful Season dies to cut out the label inside the card here.

 

 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.

So what do you think?

I just FLIPPED the Haunted House inside out.

So this Kraft colored house is actually the inside of the Haunted House!

I flipped the roof peak & the shutters over so that the white side of them showed.

I cut vellum for the windows so that it looked like frost was on the inside.

I traced the door & fussy cut it out of woodgrain dsp.

I stamped snowflake onto plain retired vellum using a White Craft ink pad & 

put that on the Gingerbread House roof.

I added some die Icicles using the Frozen Edge Dies.

I added some Peppermints along the roof peak top.

The snowman, wreath, bow, sled & tree were all punched out of the Epherma pack.

The reindeer & the presents were both fussy cut out of the Reindeer Days DSP.
