Easiest Fun Fold/DSP Stash Buster Card Ever!!!!

I LOVE this card!  It's beautiful and takes about 5 minutes to make!  Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration -- let's say 15 minutes.


This was my design for a recent card swap with several of my friends.  We also made it in my Craft Box class this past Friday.


One of the things I like best about this card is that it uses all but a 3/4" x 3/4" square of 6" x 6" double-sided patterned paper!  Perfect for some serious stash-busting!!!

Materials:
* Thoughtful Journey 6” x 6” DSP
* Lost Lagoon, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop & White Card Stock
* Rhinestone Basic Jewels
* Scalloped Wishes Stamp Set (inside)
(All materials are current Stampin’ Up! products except the “Celebrate” stamp which I borrowed from a friend at a recent crafter’s retreat.)

Assembly:
* Cut color card stock to measure 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”
* Cut 3/4" strip from bottom of DSP.  DO NOT DISCARD.
* Score 2” from left side of DSP and fold with “pretty” side inside fold.  Adhere to 5-1/2” x 4-1/4” card stock.
* Cut 3/4" off one end of 3/4" strip.  Rip paper away from one long edge and adhere to card front at folded edge.
* Cut white card stock to measure 5” x 1-3/4”.  Stamp sentiment and adhere 1/8” from inside fold.
* Cut white label to any size you want for front sentiment (the one on my card is 2-3/4” x 3/4").  Cut card stock 1/4" larger to mat sentiment (mine is 3” x 1”).  Stamp sentiment and adhere to card stock.  Adhere to front flap with form tape or hexagons.
* Add rhinestones wherever you like.

These are a few alternate colorways using the same patterned paper:
