I'm so grateful to all of you who voted for me, thank you so much. I've made a Corner Tuck Fun Fold card with the lovely Abstract Beauty dsp and sentiments from the Dahlia Days stamp set. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

Dahlia Days stamp set

Iridescent rhinestones

Night of Navy ink

Checks & Dots Embossing Folders

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the melon mambo card at 5 3/4" and fold and burnish for the card base.

Add the largest dsp layer to the inside of the card.

Run one of the 3" pieces of melon mambo card through the machine in the Dots Embossing Folder and then cut in half on the diagonal to give the triangular piece for the tuck.

Add mini dimensionals around the outer edges of the triangle on the underside and then carefully add to the top right hand corner of the card.

Add the remaining dsp layers to the rest of the main card.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white square and layer up on the 2 7/8" square of melon mambo - this is for the inside of the card.

Add the last dsp piece to the remaining 3" and add to the card front making sure you only add glue to the left hand side, make sure it's central and that the top right corner will tuck underneath the corner tuck spot.

Add the inside sentiment layer directly underneath this one so that it can't be seen when the card is closed.

Stamp a sentiment for the front and punch out with the scalloped oval and layer it up on two melon mambo ovals (you have to overlap them so that show equally above and below the white one - see the picture. Add this to the centre of the square panel on the front.

Punch out some leaves in gold foil and them tuck them around the sentiment.

Add some rhinestones and the card is complete. I hope that you like it.
