Love & Happiness Diamond Easel Fun Fold

 Hello stamping friends! Today’s card share features a Diamond Easel Fun Fold made using the Love & Happiness Bundle, Heart & Home Designer Series Paper and the Brushed Brass Butterflies. 

Unfortunately, the Love & Happiness Stamp Set is SOLD OUT. That is the danger in a while supplies last sale. The Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies are on sale for $14.50 while supplies last and can be combined with the Celebrating You Stamp Set to make these cards. 

Celebrating You Stamp Set $24.00

Bouquet Of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies $14.50

The Heart & Home Designer Series Paper is so pretty. I have used one of the many white wood grain patterns to make the Diamond Easel Fun Fold card. 

Heart & Home Designer Series Paper $10.35

Fun fact- the 4 x 4 card here is made from the left over pieces after making the Fun Fold. I tried to keep it simple and elegant. I used my snips to break down the Pale Papaya Cardstock on the top and bottom of the card layer to add texture by running the blade itself along the edge of the Cardstock many times. 

The newest craze/technique in card making seems to be folding paper up to look like ribbon. The Evening Evergreen piece behind the focal image on the Fun fold is a 1/2 x 12 piece of Cardstock that I scored every inch and then folded to make it look a little like a ribbon. I added a few pieces of the Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon to the bottom left of the design for texture. 

The Brushed Brass Butterflies and the Opal Rounds add some elegance and polish to both cards. The butterflies somehow seemed appropriate for engagement/wedding cards. Perhaps because they symbolize new beginnings. 

Brushed Brass Butterflies $10.00

The Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper adds the proper amount of visual interest and elegance to the 4 x 4 card to keep it from being too plain or boring. I used very little of this specialty paper to make this card but it really adds quite a lot to the design. 

Gold & Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper $5.00
