Today's card and envelope are detailed, fun and and feminine . . . "spot on" for my grand niece Eleni's birthday. My Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Diagonal Plate arrived and I had a chance to experiment with it over the weekend. I love it!
The diagonal plate works in tandem with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to create quick and pretty envelopes and more.
It will be available for customer purchase this Thursday, March 1. I can't share a photo of the actual plate until March 1 . . . but I CAN show you tons of photos (below) on how to use it to make envelopes.
It's time for a new Mojo Monday Round or Square Sketch Challenge (MOJO230), too!
To create the envelope, I cut Twitterpated Designer Series Paper to 8 x 8".
The Simply Scored Diagonal Plate fits on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (rubber feet keep it in place) and, like the scoring tool, the plate has grooves that run diagonally every 1/8". They line up with the same measurements used on the scoring tool so place markers come in equally handy. I scored my 8 x 8" paper diagonally on each corner at 3 3/8".
Here's a close up of where the score lines cross.
I used a Stampin' Up! 1 3/8" Square Punch to crop out the triangle.
This shows all four sides cropped and ready to fold and adhere.
The sides are folded in, bottom folded up and the top flap was cropped with a 3/16" Corner Punch for a soft detail.
I used the Scallop Circle Bigz Die and my Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine to create the scallop circle card. Here's a tutorial to show you how to use Stampin' Up! dies to create note cards.
The Large Pearl Basic Jewels on the flowers are luscious.
