Spring Corners Diagonal Opening Fun Fold Happy Birthday Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the fabulous new Spring Corners stamp and die bundle.


Techniques include a fun fold with a diagonal opening and open cutwork die cutting. 


NOTE: You will need Clear Block E or F to mount the corner sentiment stamp on.

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Spring Corners Bundle (Save 10% when you purchase stamp set & die with bundle item#)
  • Lemon Lolly cardstock 
    • card base 8-1/2 x 11 sheet - cutting and scoring directions shown below
  • Basic Black cardstock
    • 4-1/4 x 3
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 4-1/8 x 2-7/8
    • 5 x 3-3/4 for inside panel
  • Shy Shamrock cardstock
    • 4 x 2-3/4

  • Long straight edge, cutting knife or wheel & self healing mat or cutting surface (non-Stampin' Up! items)
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Cut full sheet of Lemon Lolly cardstock diagonally. Score at 4-1/4 on short end and 5-1/2 on long end. - score lines should meet in center of diagonal cut. (You will need a long straight edge, cutting wheel or sharp blade & a self healing mat or cutting surface as the cardstock is too long to cut diagonally in the Paper Trimmer.)


Folds should be at left edge and top, so card front will have diagonal going from top left to bottom right.


Cut DSP print diagonally from top left to bottom right corner.  


With Lemon Lolly card base laying open and flat, adhere DSP print along cut line of left front side, leaving a small border at bottom and left edge.  Ink sentiment with Memento ink and stamp at top and right edge of top fold piece.


When closed, card front should look like this:

 

Adhere Basic White cardstock to Basic Black cardstock, centering.  Ink "happy birthday" with Memento ink, stamp 3/4" from top edge of Shy Shamrock cardstock.  Place flower bouquet die at bottom left corner of Shy Shamrock cardstock, die cut.  Adhere panel to Basic White cardstock.


Adhere front panel to left front of card base, making sure to only apply adhesive to the left diagonal part of the panel, leaving 1/2" border at left and bottom edges of DSP.


Tie Lemon Lolly Baker's Twine into bow, adhere at bottom of bouquet.

Here's what the inside looks like:

Ink small flower cluster with Memento ink, stamp in lower right corner of Basic White cardstock panel.  Adhere to inside card.


BONUS: You have extra card base and DSP panel to make another card just like this one!
