Double Diagonal Pocket cards

I’ve been meaning to do this card since the tutorial popped onto Splitcoast Stampers but never found the time.

So I took the opportunity to demonstrate these at a recent demonstration. I’ve adjusted the size from that of the tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers so it fits on A6 card.

I’ve done one using Berry Bliss Designer Series Papers and One of a Kind stamp set and the other is using Outlaw Designer Series Papers and True Friend Stamp set. Just on those two stamp sets - as they are in the Spring Mini Catalogue you only have until the end of November to purchase them.

If you visit my blog regularly you will know that I love the Berry Bliss papers. I just love pink and brown together!

I have often said that one of the wonderful things about Stampin Up! is how all their products coordinate so well together and the Berry Bliss coordinates with the One of a Kind stamp set perfectly as it has some of the images in the papers.

It sure does make matching things up alot easier and you dont have to stand around working out which colour cardstock goes with the patterened papers as its all done for you! So that means you have more time to play and create!

The main image on the front is in three layers to give it dimension. The middle flower is in pretty in pink and cut out and stuck straight onto the larger flower. The middle flower is stamped in Purely Pomegranate and adhered with a Stampin Dimensional.

Hopefully you can see the layers in the next photo.

The second card I made was in the Outlaw Designer Series Papers and again these papers use images from the True Friend stamp set.

I’ve used the colours from the Outlaw papers to stamp my images in and the flower image on the tag was done using the markers direct to the rubber stamp and then stamping the image onto naturals ivory cardstock.

I do love these sets and will be sad to see them finish at the end of November however I did receive the new mini Summer Catalogue today and this one starts December 1 and I must say that its gorgeous! With lots of lovely new stamps, papers and accessories! The only dilemma will be what to buy first??

Have a great day and if you’d like to learn how to make these double diagonal pocket cards then contact me as soon as possible to arrange your demonstration!
