I haven't made a triangle card for a while though I've been itching to try out several of the Flowers for Every Season papers with one of my favorite card sketches. This week's challenge over at The Paper Craft Crew seemed tailor-made for these papers:
Note that the challenge is to choose 3 of the 4 colors - so there are many possibilities with Flowers for Every Season papers:
(there's also a link at the bottom of my post). Here's the first pattern I chose to work with:
Ideas to note:
- Though I've used this sketch in the past, this time I was able to try it out with my new Stitched Triangle Dies! It's possible to do this without the dies though the dies make it easier.
- I cut the triangle first (I used the largest isosceles triangle for this card) and then used it to cut the white layer at the same angle. Stamp your greeting at the lower end of the angled white layer. I used this Thank you greeting from the stamp set, Best Year.
- When assembling the card I start by adding a 2" wide strip of DSP to a white card base. Then add your stamped angled white layer matching it up to the right edge of the card base. Lastly, add your die cut triangle.
- Finish your card off with a a die cut or, in this case, a fussy cut flower from the same piece of DSP I used for the first layer. I also added some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots, though the 2020-21 in Color Dots work well too. We're just up at the lake and my supplies are a little limited.
Here is another version with the same DSP and the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle:
- Same basic hints as for the first card except I used the 2nd largest (isosceles) triangle.
- I thought I had grabbed the So Saffron/Mango Melody Blends but actually grabbed the Daffodil Delight so the match is OK but could be better.
- I used my Stamparatus to add the greetings for these two cards.
I hope you give the challenge a try! There are so many directions you could take this-
