Today’s More Color Mondays features the retiring 2023-2025 In Color Wild Wheat, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.

Everyday You and Me Bundle is on the Last Chance List and Everyday Happiness DSP is beautiful and makes this corner fold card.

Measurements:
BASE: Pretty Peacock CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
DSP: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for sentiment piece and flowers/leaves

Mark the top of the 4 1/4″ side of the base at 1 3/4″ and score from the middle score to the mark.
Cut one of the DSP layers from the corner to 1 1/4″ mark on one side.
Adhere the DSP cut piece to the front of the card base.
Turn down the corner and adhere it down.

Cut 1/4″ off the fat end of the small DSP triangle and adhere to the turned down triangle.

Stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink on a Basic White scrap. Stamp a leaf in Wild Wheat above the sentiment. Stamp the five circle image in Lost Lagoon ink all over the background of the sentiment piece.
Fussy cut the sentiment piece.
Cut another triangle from corner to a 1 3/4″ mark of the second DSP layer.
Adhere to the top of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White piece.
Stamp two flowers in Pretty Peacock ink and stamp off one flower in a lighter tone.
Stamp one each of the leaves in Wild Wheat ink and die cut all the flowers and leaves.
Arrange the flowers and leaves with dies around the sentiment piece.
Adhere the sentiment over the card front.
Adhere the Sunny Day Dots embellishments to the card front.
I cut a matte for the sentiment piece and then re-adhered the sentiment piece to the card front.

Place a linen thread bow to the bottom right hand-side of the sentiment piece.

This is a fun and easy way to make a standard card with a little interest – a corner turned down. Try this technique and create some artwork of your very own one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
