The SECRET to Making 2-for-1 Diamond Shaped Greeting Cards! 💎💼 | Free Template Download! 😱 💌

Hi Crafty Friends!
Thanks for stopping by! I've seen a few card makers make these fun 'diamond fold' cards, and I love them, but when I've watched a few of them, I notice that they're only using 1 half of a sheet of card stock. I like to make multiples at a time, so I found a way to score first and then cut. That will provide you with two card bases. And, hey, if you're not feeling the need to make two cards at once, you can always save the other card base for another time.

Hi Friends! I promise that I’m looking into microphone options. I’m no expert but I hope the audio is tolerable! I have found that I enjoy speaking while I create far more than doing voiceovers because it shortens my editing time. I forgot to ask which one of the cards was your favorite? I thank you for watching and giving me a thumbs up if you like the video! Have a fabulous weekend! ♥️

I ordered 2 different sizes of the sticky polymer mats with your link and added a set of pens. 🙌🏼

[@KathyaKalinine]

@@created2bless322 That’s awesome! One of the sticky mats took a while to get here but it was worth the wait for that price!!! I know you’ll enjoy it! Thanks for using my links, too! 🥰🥰🥰

[@created2bless322]

@@KathyaKalinine one is coming on Sunday with the stardust sakura pens and the other on Monday. I’ve purchased a Stardust Sakura pen before and it so great! Also, I used my geli plate to hold my cardstock for stencils and it works but I’d like to try these out. I rehydrated my ink pads; perfect! Thanks for all you do!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Awesome!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Very pretty cards. I just got those very same grip mats from Amazon. I love them. I’ve been playing with them. I use them on the Tim Holtz stamping platform (unfortunately no longer available) and they work great on there. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

You’re so very welcome! I have two of the Tim Holtz stamping platforms and I love them, too! It’s a shame they’re no longer available. I’m so glad you’re having fun with the grip mats. I bought all three sizes. Such a great price! 🥰
