It's almost Valentine's Day! Do you have your Valentine cards made yet? If not, then give this Split Diagonal technique a try. It's so versatile and can be used in so many different ways!
Here's the card we made today on my Stampin Up Facebook Live. You can go watch the replay if you want.
For this card I used one of the new Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper sets that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase from the Mini Catalog or the Main Catalog. This is the Flower and Field dsp on page 10. The card base is Cherry Cobbler and the card front piece is Powder Pink. The embellishments were cut using the Stitched Be Mine Framelits in the Main Catalog pg. 69 from the dsp and from Whisper White.
Card Base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
Designer Series Paper (dsp) is 4 x 5 1/4
Whisper White cardstock (cs) is 4 x 5 1/4
Coordinating cs 4 x 5 1/4
Coordinating cs strips (2) 1/2 x 8 1/2
The white piece is your template. Mark with pencil as follows
Left side 1/2" down
Left side 3/4" down
Right side 3" down
Bottom left to right 3"
Connect these marks with pencil then cut on the lines.
Label 'top', 'center', and 'bottom'. You'll be using the top and bottom piece for this card.
Position these two pieces on the dsp and mark your cut-line with a pencil. Next cut your dsp along those lines. Set the center piece aside to use on another card later!
Now take your two narrow strips and glue each along the cut edge of the dsp so that you have a narrow border on each. Trim top and bottom of each piece.
Attach the coordinating cs to the card base. Now attach the two pieces of dsp with dimensionals as shown in photo.
Stamp your sentiment then attach the cut-out embellishments at the top of the diagonal split as desires.
That's it! You're done. Here are a few other samples of cards made using the same technique. Go come up with your own ideas and I'd love to see a photo in the comment section!
