This is a new card fold for me. I saw it posted in a card making group with a picture but no link or directions.  After a long time searching, I finally gave up and decided to try to figure it out.  It's not exactly like the original but very close.  Once notable difference is that my card is an A4 and the card I copied is an A7.  So here we go.

Triangle Accordion Pocket Fold

First Card Base   4 ¼” x 11”; score at 5 ½” and fold in half; diagonally cut from top fold to bottom on the right side.

Second Card Base - which is the back of the card

4 ¼” x 7” score at 5 ½” and 6” and 6 ½”; fold in a mountain fold; attach the first and second card bases together using 1/8” or ¼” Score Tape.  At the top of the accordion fold, snip off the over-hanging piece.

Inside of the Card Starting at the Back

Cut DP at 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and adhere in place onto the back panel, inside the card.  Lay aside for now.

Cut DP 2” x 4” and cut diagonally.  Glue one of halves onto the left side of the back panel.

            Note:  Instead, you can cut a diagonal DP piece the size of the others and glue it the back panel.

Adhere a 3/8” x 4 1/8” strip of DP to both sides of the mountain fold which is in the middle of the card base.

For the triangle panels, cut DP at 4” x 5”; cut in half diagonally and glue in place.  If your DP has a direction to it, you will need to make an additional diagonal piece.

Flowers

Use two or three size flower punches of different shades of card stock and layer them together.  Apply Wink of Stell to the petals.

To the center of each flower adhere White Pearls or Multicolor Jewels.

One flower goes on the front of the card with several strands of white twine beneath it.

One flower goes on the inside right diagonal panel along with a sentiment or decorated as you like.

A large flower and a small flower are glued onto the white tag that goes in the pocket on the back panel.

Tag

Cut white cardstock at 1 ½” x 3 1/8”, round the top two corners. 

Stamp sentiment on it.

Attach the two flowers to the tag.

Insert the tag into the pocket on the back panel.

A  friendly hello to you.  I've been away from my blog for quite a while.  Having really missed posting, I decided to give it a go again.  One thing to note is that BlogSpot no longer provides free email sign up.  So, in order to see my blog, you will have to go to the site yourself in order to see what's new.  Not happy with this, but I'll make do - and hope you will, too.

Triangle Fold-Over Card in Highland Heather & Green

Making fancy fold cards is one of my favorite techniques.  This card is one I'm teaching to my class next Tuesday.  The gals always love to learn new fancy folds, so it should be a fun class for them.  I embossed the little green PT circle which gave it a nice textured look. The colors are bright and cheerful - just the right thing for a spring card. The rainbow jewels really reflect the colors of the green and highland heather.  Take a look.

You can make two cards from a single 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of card stock.  Basically, it is cut in half diagonally, the top flap folds down and the left flap is folded to the right.   See the scoring directions below before you cut the card stock.

                               

Cutting Dimensions and Directions

1. Green cardstock base is 8 1/2″ x 11″. Score the cardstock in half in both directions – 5 1/2″ and 4 1/4″. Cut the green cardstock in half on the diagonal. This will produce two scored and cut cards.

2. Designer Paper is cut 4″ x 5 ¼″. Cut on the diagonal. If your pattern paper has a direction you will have to adapt the flaps to accommodate.
(Cut a coordinating Designer Paper for the upper flap if you want contrast.)

3. White cardstock inside layer is cut 4″ x 5 1/4″

4. Emboss green DP with Houndstooth EF. Die cut one 1 ¼” circle from it.

5. Die cut 2 circles from white cardstock, 1 ¾” and 2”.

6. Die cut 3 scalloped circles from lavender cardstock, 1 ¼”, 2”, and 2 3/8”. Cut three sizes in one color for the backing layer.

7. With green card base, fold the left flap over to the right along the score line. Fold the top flap down to match the left flap. Use bone folder.

8. Attach the DP triangle to the top of the left folded-over green triangle.

9. Attach the white cardstock panel to inside of card.

10. Stamp sentiment on 2” white circle.

11. Stamp flowers on 1 ¾” white circle. Color flowers all over with Light Highland Heather, then highlight with Dark Highland Heather; color leaves with Copic Marker Acid Green YG07.

12. Glue all the die cuts together as shown on card and arrange on card front.

13. Tie a green twine bow and glue in place or use a glue dot.

14. When the card is closed, the bottom of the large circle slips under the top of the medium circle to keep the card closed.

My cardmaking class is coming up in a short time, just before Easter weekend.  I thought it would be nice to make a special little something for my class members, so decided to see what I could create using the Stampin' Up Sweet Treat Cups.  Actually, I had forgotten that I still had some of the cups and was delighted that I found them in my supply closet.

I looked through my paper stash and found some really pretty plaid in bright spring colors, and then found some coordinating blue and pink card stock to use for the bases of the cups.  I then made a dash to the store to purchase some treats to fill the cups.  If you need a quick little treat, then this one is for you.

Here's what I used:

Stampin’ Up Floral Frames Dies

Stampin’ Up Sweet Treat Cups

Technique Tuesday Cross Die

Solid Color Card Stock for the Large Floral Die Cut 4”

Coordinating DP for the Smaller Floral Die Cut 3”

Yellow Card Stock (or coordinating color) for the Cross Die

Package of Goodies to Fill the Cups:  I used Peanut Butter Chocolate Trail Mix from Costco

A Golden Host of Daffodils

https://www.pinterest.com/artiology/anns-cards-artiology/

Every spring when I see daffodils blooming all around the valley, I say to myself I'm going to be sure to plant some bulbs this fall.  But, alas, when planting time comes I'm just too tired from all the garden work and it's too cold to be out there.  So, I guess I'll just have to do with making daffodil cards and that's plenty of enjoyment for me.  Definetly a lot less work!  Take a look at today's creation.  My inspiration came from a card I saw on Pinterest.

The daffodils were stamped on white card stock then fussy cut. The two outside flower bunches were glued in place and the center one is 3D mounted.

The background was made using a spatter stamp (listed below).  For a finishing touch, I adhered 3 pretty pearls.

I I really like this sentiment.  It is from a poem written by William Wordsworth.

Here's what you'll need to make this card.

Measurements – Top Folding Card
Card Base White 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
DSP Panel 5 ½” x 4 1/8”
White Panel 5 ½” x 3 1/8”
Green Mat Panel 5 ½” x 3 3/8”
White Card Stock 4 ½” x 1” strip
Extra White Card for stamping 3 images

Stamps
Stampin’ Up: Daffodil Delight
Stampin’ Up: Color & Contour stamp set
Sentiment by A Stamp in the Hand: A Host of Golden Daffodils
Penny Black: Host of Daffodils

Embossing Folder
Stampin’ Up Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions EF

Stampin’ Blends
Dark and Light Daffodil Delight
Dark Shaded Spruce

Ink Pads
Memento Tuxedo Black
Distress Ink Mustard Seed

Additional Supplies
3D Tape
½” Score Tape
Needle Nose Glue Bottle
Craft Knife and Mat
Tim Holtz Craft Mat

Directions
1. Attach DP panel onto card front, then center green panel onto the DP panel. Set aside.

2. Using the Mustard Seed ink pad, stamp the long sentiment onto a 4 ½” x 1” strip of white card stock. Trim the strip on both long sides close to the words. Notch both ends.

3. Stamp the white panel using the spatter stamp from the Color & Contour stamp set in third generation. I stamped about 5 or 6 times.

4. Emboss the panel with the Subtle embossing panel.

5. Stamp the multiple daffodil stamp three times onto white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black.

5. Color the daffodils all over with Light Daffodil Delight. Color the stamens of each flower with Dark Daffodil Delight, and also the inside edge of the petals.

6. Color the leaves with Dark Shaded Spruce.

7. Fussy cut the images.

8.` Optional: I used my craft knife to remove some of the white space between the flowers, however it is not necessary as the flowers will be on a white background.

9. On the left and right side of the white panel, glue one of the images of the daffodils. The third image is 3D mounted. To make a skinny roll of tape, cut a 4” strip of ½” Score Tape, stick it to the craft mat, remove the covering, then gently roll up the tape with your finger until you have a long roll. Cut into sections as needed to apply to the back of the third image, then attach slightly higher and between the two daffodil images that are already glued in place.

10. Use 3D tape to attach the sentiment to the front of the card.

11. Adhere 3 pearls to front of card. See sample for placement.

12. Stamp the verse and the butterfly inside card with black ink.
