MEANDERING MEADOWS DIAGONAL FRONT FLAP CARD

Today’s card features the beautiful Meandering Meadows 6 x 6” Designer Series Paper.  I love the beautiful watercolor scenes on this paper they are so much fun to work with.  I wanted to use this paper to create a cute fun fold card where I got to maximize the 6 x 6” paper.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Boho Blue cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 11” and scored at 4 3/16 and 8 ½”.  I cut my DSP down to 5 1/8” high (save the scrap these strips make great additions to card insides) and then cut it to 2 1/8” x 5 1/8” (left front) and 3 7/8 x 5 1/8” (right front).  I cut two pieces of Daffodil Delight cardstock one to 4 x 5 ¼” (right front) and one to 2 ¼ x 5 ¼” (front left).  Now it is time to start cutting our angles, begin with the card base and make a mark 1” from the top left on the panel that is 2 ½” wide.  Now place your base into your paper trimmer aligning your mark at the top of the cutting blade and the bottom corner centered on the cutting track and cut.  The 2 ¼” wide Daffodil Delight cardstock is marked at 7/8” from the top left and cut the same way.  The DSP is marked at ¾” from the top left and again cut the same way.  Now you have what you need to assemble your card.

Attach the DSP to the Daffodil Delight cardstock and then attach those to your card.  Once you have the pieces all adhered you are ready for the final pieces.  I stamped the sentiment “You’re On My Mind” from the Quiet Reflection stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Boho Blue Ink and die cut it using one of the circles from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  Then I cut two scraps of Daffodil Delight cardstock using the next larger die.  I attached my sentiment to one of those and then attached the second Daffodil Delight circle to the back of the first (I prefer that finished look when you are going to see the back of a piece) and attached it just to the left panel. 

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 1/8 x 5 ¼”.  I stamped the bottom of this panel using the Fields In Bloom stamp set.  I stamped the foliage portions in Garden Green and the flowers in Daffodil Delight (I love these two step stamps they really make things pop). 

I was really happy with the way the card turned out and I think it is a good generic card that could be used for lots of things but especially to let someone know you are thinking of them and I can’t think of a better reason to send a card.  I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
