Birthday Blooms Double Diamond Fancy Fold Card Using Stampin' Up! Products

Today I am sharing with you the basic tutorial on how to create one of these Double Diamond Cards

The other Day, I shared with you the Fairy Celebration New Home Card I made for my Daughter & Son in Law, as they were moving into their first home.

It was a step up from today's card, as I added two square panels, that I stamped & painted with the fairies.

Click Here for the original tutorial.

Some of you have said you found the instructions in that typed tutorial, a little difficult to follow from step 5, and could I do a video., So here is is

Feel free to CASE any of my creative projects (Copy & Paste Everything)

Today's Card uses the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set with Archival Black/Memento Black Ink Pad, onto Watermelon Cardstock. I tried to get a better shot of the 3D element of this card, that stamds on 3 points.It is much easier to make than is seems. If you made those peekabo games as a child where you had numbers on the flaps, and underneath was a dare; then you will be able to make these fun fold cards.
