It's June and we are almost half way through the year 😱
This month we are doing a Diamond Z fold. I have not tried one of these before, but it is an easy one to do, and such a great display card when it is finished. This card is a bit bigger than a standard card, at 7 x 5 inches, but it can easily be modified to a standard size card, you just need to make the diamonds smaller.
I followed this tutorial by Jan B, it is a pretty long video, but there are instructions below the video and you can skip the decorating parts to just get to the parts you need.
I used the new Sun Prints suite which is beautiful.
I used Basic Black card stock for the base and one of the Gray Granite patterns and as my main pattern and one of the blue patters, both from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper, as my accent pieces, both layered on Basic White.
I stamped the big leaf image and the flower image from the Nature's Prints stamp set in Versamark on Basic Black and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder. I cut these out with the matching Natural Prints dies and also cut a few extra leaf pieces in Basic Black.
I stamped one of the greetings from the stamp set in Night of Navy on Basic White and layered it on Basic Black.
This is a great fold and not difficult at all. The cutting of all the DSP and card stock is the most time consuming part 😊
This card is a stunner when it is standing up and the diamonds line up neatly.
I will add a piece of Basic White card stock to the back of the card to write on, when I am ready to send the card.
