The Fancy Folds Design team is back for another blog hop! And this month we’re making a Triple Floating Diamond card. It’s a little bit of a bigger card than I usually make so I’ll need to find or make my own envelope, but it’s such a pretty card. You can check out Amanda’s video here. She’s the Scrimpingmommy, from the UK and give you the measurements and steps so you can follow along if you need to.
For my card I decided to not make a holiday card this time. I’m not quite in full holiday crafting mode yet. Instead I’m using the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. It’s so pretty! And I decided to make a sort of thank you card using the coordinating Happiness Abounds stamp set. The colour combination I chose came from the DSP, of course. I used Gorgeous Grape cardstock for the card base. Then I used 2 different designs from the DSP pack for my diamonds. For my ink colours I used Gorgeous Grape and Melon Mambo.
I used a simpler design for my outer diamonds and a darker one in the centre. That way I could have my phrase and stamped flowers stand out. I cut out the flowers using one of the Layering Circles dies and my phrase with one of the Stitched Rectangles dies. Plus I popped these up using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then to add a little something more to the outer diamonds I used the Blossoming Happiness dies to cut out a couple of the larger flowers from one of the other designs.
The Triple Floating Diamond card is such a cool looking card right?!
