I decided to make a Mother's Day card. The card style I chose is a a fun fold called Criss Cross Pocket. But I like to call it an Envelope Pocket card, because that is what it looks like to me! It's such an easy card. I used the soon to be retiring Hues of Happiness Suite to make the card.
Here's how I made it: For the cardbase I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock and you need to cut two pieces 4 1/4 x 11 score the 11 side at 5 1/2. Then using your paper trimmer and cut one side of each panel on a diagonal from the top corner to the middle score at the bottom. When cutting the second piece of make sure the second sheet is cut so that it’s faces the other diagonal. Lay the pieces together so you have the 2 diagonal pieces lose. For the DSP, you need to create 2 triangles to fit ontop of the diagonal sections. DSP cut 4x5 1/4 on in half on the diagonal. Make sure you choose a DSP that has a pattern on both sides that you want to use. If you want the same pattern you will need to cut to pieces at 4x5 1/4 and cut 1 at a diagonal with the pattern you want to use facing up when you cut. Then the other 4x5 1/4 with the pattern you want to use facing upside down. This will allow you to have the same pattern cut opposite. Adhere the DSP to the front flaps of the cardbase. Then add adhesive to the bottom of each diagonal to creat the pocket. For the inside of the card inset you need Flirty Flamingo at 3 3/4 x 5 1/8 and then Basic White at 3 5/8x 5 The front of the card was so easy. Using the coordinating dies in the suite. Line up the flower dies with the flowers on the DSP and cut them out. I adhered them with dimensionals. And some glossy Gems. I realized as I was typing this out that I did not take pictures of making the card. So I will update this and add some assembly pictures to make it easier to follow. I hope you enjoyed the card I made for you today! Thanks for stopping by Happy Stampin Steph
