Stampin’ Up! On The Farm Diagonal Fun Fold Thinking of You Card

How fun is this diagonal fun fold with a belly band? So cute! I grabbed the fun fold idea from a You Tube channel – Ruth’s Stamping Corner – and wanted to share with all of you. I added the belly band to my version of the card. I used the Day At The Farm 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and On The Farm Stamp Set to create this card. The fun Day At The Farm Designer Series Paper was perfect for this layout!

One sheet of card stock will make two card bases. I started off with a full sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock in Basic Black. On the short side I scored the paper at 4-1/4″ and on the long side I scored the paper at 5-1/2″. I then lined up opposite ends of the cardstock in my paper trimmer and made a diagonal cut.

Two diagonal designer series paper patterns were chosen at cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″. Both of these panels were cut on the diagonal. The barn pattern was adhered to the left side of the card base and the plaid pattern was adhered to the right side of the card base.

On the inside panel, I used the hill stamp from the On The Farm Stamp Set to stamp hills across the bottom of the panel. The panel was then adhered to the inside of the card.

I used a 10″ x 2-1/4″ piece of black cardstock as a belly band. The ends of the band were wrapped around the card and adhered together using liquid glue. I then stamped a sentiment onto a 3″ x 3″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock using Garden Green ink. I used the second largest scalloped die from the Layering Circles Dies set to die cut a circle. I then used the same hill stamp to stamp across the bottom of the die cut circle. The circle was adhered to the center of the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A double bow tied from black twine was adhered to the circle using a Mini Glue Dot and I added a Black Matte Dot to the circle as well.

The same hill was stamped onto the envelope front using Garden Green ink and a piece of coordinating plaid DSP was added to the envelope flap and I trimmed around the flap to finish off the envelope.

The adorable images from the On The Farm Stamp Set and Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper are perfect on this diagonal fun fold. This card was very easy to put together. I hope you’ll give it a try!
