DIAGONAL JOY FOLD CARDS

Need a fun, relatively easy way to spruce up your craft projects? Look no further than Diagonal Joy Fold cards! I created gorgeous cards using pieces from the April Paper Pumpkin kit. My tutorial shows how to make your own stunning cards with minimal effort. These are cards 3-5 in my series of Diagonal Joy Fold.

The April Paper Pumpkin kit came with a handy box organizer. So many great uses for this such as organizing the ink spots that come with each kit, or embellishment holder , etc. I also found it was useful to hold all of the kit pieces while I was working so I could see them all at a glance rather then all over the table.

Have you tried these designs? I love to see your creations! Be sure to share them on #shareyourcrafts post every Saturday on my Facebook Page.

These flowers from the All Good Things Paper Pumpkin kit have a really pretty iridescent foil on them and they catch your attention immediately. 

I used some of the new Subtles Designer Series paper for both cards. I also used the pretty printed envelopes as designer paper background on the blue card.

I embossed a piece of Vellum with the polka dot folder from the Basics Collection for the subtle frosted texture.

I cut the a lot of the leaves of these flowers and repositioned them. 

These flowers almost look like stained glass don’t they?

I made 2 different versions of the Balmy Blue diagonal joy fold. One with the flowers and one with the leaves die cuts from the kit.
