Mother's Day is just around the corner so I thought I'd better get busy and make a couple of cards for the mother's in my life. I only have two to make one for my mother in law and one for my daughter in law.
I was looking through the posts on my facebook page the other day and someone asked about a template for a Diamond Fold card. I shared a card made using this fold just a short time ago and mentioned I would be making another more tuned in to the current season and seeing the facebook inquiry motivated me to get busy.
First I went into my Silhouette and created a template for the card and the mats and saved it. Then I went back to facebook and sent the template file and a tutorial for the diamond fold card to the person who made the inquiry.
Finally I returned to my Silhouette and made the following card.
The center sentiment is difficult to see. I sketched it with silver on white. Here is a close up so you can see it better.
Now, you may think I had to hand cut those lovely Hydrangea flowers out by hand but I did not! I made a cut file from the image in the Silhouette. The center circle image is an enlarged version of one of the circles from Petite Pennant Builder Die.
Do you want a printable pdf tutorial on how to do this? I would love to share it all with you, the tutorial for the Diamond Fold Card, the tutorial for creating cut shapes from your stamps, dies and punches and the Silhouette V3 template for the Diamond fold card. To get them all you have to do is become a follower of my blog. If you're already a follower, just leave a comment and I will send them all to you.
Just a note, if you're not a Silhouette Cameo user the Diamond Fold Card tutorial has instructions for making the card without the Silhouette.
Enjoy!
