YOU WILL NEED

BASE CARD 8 1/2" BY 5 1/2" SCORE AT 2 1/8" AND 4 1/4" TO CREATE A Z-FOLD CARD

FRONT RECTANGLE PANELS 2 MAT LAYERS   - 5 1/4" X 1 7/8" 

FRONT TOPPERS 2 MAT LAYERS - 1 3/4" X 1 3/4"

FRONT TOPPERS 2 WHITE CARD PIECES - 1 5/8" X 1 5/8"

MIDDLE AND BACK 2 MAT LAYERS - 2 3/4" X 2 3/4" 

MIDDLE AND BACK 2 WHITE CARD PIECES - 2 3/4"X 2 3/4" (CUT 1 PIECE DIAGONALLY) 

CORNER PANELS 2 PATTERN PIECES - 2 " X 2" (CUT DIAGONALLY)

 

TO MAKE THIS CARD

1   Stick the 2 MAT LAYERS   - 5 1/4"X 1 7/8" onto the first two panels of the z fold card base.

2.  Stick the four co-ordinating triangles ( 2 COMPLIMENTARY PIECES - 2 " X 2" CUT DIAGONALLY) to the corners of the back of the card.  I found that liquid glue makes it easier to align the triangles to the corners.

3.  Stick the square mat (2 3/4" X 2 3/4")  centrally between the four triangles.  If you are stamping onto the white layers - remember they will be diamond-shaped. I used pre-printed images.  Layer the 2 5/8" x 2 5/8" image onto this mat.

4 Take the 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" mat and score diagonally   Then cut away approximately 1" away from the tip of one corner ( as shown in the photo above). 

5.  Stick this cropped diamond onto the inside panel of the z fold. Add the image of your choice (on the 2 5/8" triangle)

6.  Stick and layer the two images on the 1 5/8" x 1 5/8" squares onto the 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" mats.  Stick the two diamonds onto the front panel.  Take care where adding glue.  Line the right-hand points up with the inside back panel.

Your card is now complete.  Please give this card a go and share your makes on our Facebook Group page.  I look forward to seeing your makes very soon.

Best wishes and happy crafting
