Patriotic Card

Hello Blogger Friends and a happy Friday to you. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods and that you are getting to enjoy some great late Spring weather. It's just 9 more days and it will officially be summer. Love this time of year with the warm days and the daylight length.

My card for today is a patriotic fun fold. I was invited to guest design once again with the Creative Creases Challenge #59. the fold I am featuring is called a diagonal joy fold. I saw the video on Tami White's YouTube channel. The link is here. 

Here are my design steps:

I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" red cardstock for my card base. It's scored at 5 1/2"

Used my paper trimmer and made a diagonal cut on the card front. Start at the center top left and cut to the bottom right corner. 

This is what the card should look like after you make the cut.

Next, I cut the designer paper I used for the diagonal panel. I started with a piece 4 1/8" x 5 1/4" and cut it on a diagonal. 

Now for the card insert I used red cardstock measuring 8" x 3" and scored at 4". 

I cut the images in red, white and blue shades. The dies are a brand-new Patriotic Release from CottageCutz.

Now for card assembly. I started with the inside card insert. I stamped a sentiment using the God Bless America set from Blue Knight stamps. I decided to add some fireworks to this panel. The die is also a new one from CottageCutz - Fireworks.

Next, I added the images to the front of the card insert. 

I secured the designer paper to the card panel and also to the card inside. 

To finish off this fun fold, I secured the USA phrase to the diagonal panel with liquid glue. The insert is attached with double sided tape. 

This photo shows the insert attached to card base. 

This last photo shows the card closed. 

That's it for this post. So until next time.....God bless.
