"My name is Deanna and I am a paper addict!!"
I have stacks of paper that should last me a lifetime! Before I can use what I’ve purchased, then something new and better comes along. Of course I have to have it too and before long I have accumulated quite a stash of paper.
I saw a post the other day by LeeAnn Greff showing this technique, and I knew it would be great for using some of that stockpiled DSP.
I’ll show you some completed cards then give you a tutorial for how to do them.
First choose some paper that coordinates. Sometimes the front and back do, or you may have to choose two patterns from the same series.
The paper should be cut to 4 x 5 1/4.
1. Place the piece on your trimmer so that you will cut on the diagonal from corner to corner. Make the cut (see photos below)
2. Turn the papers to the opposite diagonal. You will keep them together.
3.Pushing them together, position the paper from corner to corner again and make the 2nd cut.
4. When you have made both cuts, you will have 4 triangles.
With this particular paper, when I turned the top and bottom over, I had coordinating patterns. If you use two different papers, you will simply cut both of them the same way and you will have pieces for 2 cards!
Choose a coordinating cardstock for the card base and select a sentiment or embellishment for the center.

What a great way to use up that collection of paper to make some really cute cards!!
