Hindsight is 20/20! As I look at photos of this card, I am realizing that I could have made it so much easier on myself if I had just added another cardstock layer! Check out my tip below for making this card a little easier!
Patchwork Pieces is a new standalone die set from the 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. "Standalone" just refers to the fact that it is not available as a bundle with a coordinating stamp set. You'll find it in the back of the catalog on page 165 with other dies.
I used two patterns from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper Pack (on sale in June!) and embossed cardstock to create these Patchwork cards -- embellished with the Layering with Leaves images and greetings.
Watch the replay of Thursday Night Stamp Therapy to see me create the same card using a different paper pack! In the video, I layer the die cut pieces on to a piece of Basic White that is a little bigger than the die cut piece. When I do it again, I would use a piece of cardstock that is the same size as the die cut so that I could go right to the corner and keep things straight -- and then layer THAT piece on to another background layer.

We were lucky to have Stampin' Up! DDM (Demonstrator Development Manager) Shannon West join our team meeting on Zoom in April. I was inspired by Shannon's message of sharing our love of cardmaking with others to spread joy and make a difference. I was also so inspired by Shannon's demonstration of this fun fold card! I couldn't wait to try it out this Diagonal Panel Card! I love that you can get two cards from one sheet of cardstock!
I created this Bright & Beautiful version for a recent episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie. Mom and I shared project ideas using the new Beautiful Balloons Bundle -- which is perfect for birthdays, but also any celebration!

Here are the cards that I created during the live video. Which one is more your stamping style? Leave a comment and let me know! I chose to make cards using designer paper that I hadn't used yet!
The first card uses Les Shoppes Designer Paper. Since I don't have the coordinating stamp set and dies, I relied on imagery from the designer paper for my focal point. I CASEd (Copy And Selectively Edit-ed) a project from the catalog (page ). Since I didn't have the bundle, I substituted a sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set and used a plant cut from the paper instead of the die cut bench. I also changed the embellishments a little. I love the way it turned out and can't wait to create more with this suite!
The next card was inspired by a swap card that I recieved from Barb Mullikin. I shared her card in the video, so be sure to watch for it! Barb used the Countryside Inn Designer Paper and Cheerful Daisies bundle. I used the same layout, but substitute Let's Go Fishing Designer Paper to create this Father's Day card. Who would you send this card to?
Try this layout at home! Here are the measurements I used!
The last card was inspired by a fun fold swap that I recieved from Connie Stewart while I was on the Million Sales Retreat back in March. (Disclaimer: Fewer than .001% of Stampin' Up! demonstrators achieve this result.) See all of the Million Sales Achiever Fun Fold Swaps
I used the same Z Fold layout with an extra card flap to create this card with the new Stargazing Designer Paper and coordinating Reach fo the Stars bundle. I love these colors together: Orchid Oasis and Lemon Lime Twist.
Reach for the Stars Card Measurements:
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Orchid Oasis Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4" and 6-3/8"
(2) 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" Stargazing Designer Paper
4" x 10-1/2" Basic White Cardstock, scored at 5-1/4"
