I haven't made a diamond fold card for ages so had to re learn it but I wanted to showcase these gorgeous papers. For the first card I've used Designer Paper 'Elegant Soiree'. I love this so much I wanted to use it for Christmas even though it's not Christmas paper. I love the new 'Soft Suede' colour too which I've used for matting and layering. I've used Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze inks for stamping. I've also used a rhinestone on the greeting and tiny, tiny pearls on the deer antlers. Stamps are from the 'Winter Post' set.
For the second card I've used Designer Paper 'Jolly Holiday' and Crumb Cake card and Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla also. Again, the stamps are from the 'Winter Post' set. Of course I've used my trusty Scallop Punch to make the embellishments.
I copied this type of card from the lovely Bekka. It's very quick and easy and uses very little paper, ribbon etc. I've used the Elegant Soiree papers again with Soft Suede and Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla card and inks plus Very Vanilla ribbon and Chocolate Chip ribbon.Stamps are the lovely and ever popular 'Dasher' and more stamps from the 'Winter Post' set. The 'Joy at Christmas' greeting is from a set called 'Perfect Punches' it has greetings for all year round and they all coordinate with punches from the range so you can make a beautiful greeting embellishment like this one in seconds.
So with Christmas card making in mind I thought you might like the new special offer from Stampin' Up!. Google 'Stampin' Up!
