Do you recall the Poinsettia Diagonal Joy Fold Card I shared on November 17th? Click here for that card (its measurements, photos, and supplies) & the how-to video with directions and tips for making it. In that video I give a peek at a purple version of that card using the Sweet Talk Suite of products which wasn’t available for all to purchase at that time.
We are now over a couple weeks into the release of the new Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog products and just under a month away from Valentine’s Day. So in today’s post I thought I’d share how to make a couple Sweet Talk versions of that poinsettia fun fold card. Below you will find photos, measurements and more to help you recreate if you wish. Be sure to also scroll down to see a complete list of products I used to make these cards. Each product is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
(AND there is a special sale happening this weekend! Scroll down to read about The Country Hive’s 22% off sale which begins tomorrow.)
This is the original purple Sweet Talk card that I shared in the video on November 17th.
Measurements…
- Highland Heather Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2” then cut diagonally across the front from the upper left (where the scoreline marks the middle of the cardstock) to the lower right
- Sweet Talk Designer Paper (conversation hearts pattern)
- Scraps for die-cutting 2 hearts
- Half of a diagonally cut 4” x 5-1/4” piece
- Basic White Cardstock
- 3” x 8” scored parallel to the short side at 4”
- Scrap for die-cutting tag
- Silver Foil Sheet (from Silver Foil Specialty Pack)
- 2-7/8” x 3-7/8”
- 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
- Sweet Talk Designer Paper (purple stripes)
- 2-3/4” x 3-3/4”
- Silver Cord (from the Elegant Metallic Trim Pack)
- 4″
Directions…
- Watch the video I posted on November 17th for tips and tricks with this type of card.
- Prepare all the pieces indicated in the measurements listed above.
- Stamp sentiment on the inside of the white “mini card” (pay attention to the direction since this piece will open from the left).
- Die-cut a row of hearts from the striped designer paper.
- Assemble the tag…
- fold the cord, insert the loop through the hole of the tag from the front, open the loop, insert the ends, and pull a bit to tighten. Fringe the ends.
- Add the silver square, the conversation hearts (on Dimensionals), and the rhinestones.
- Add the tag to the striped designer paper, add the designer paper to the silver layer, then add this piece to the white “left opening” mini card.
- Add the diagonally cut conversation hearts pattern designer paper to the front diagonally cut Highland Heather card base. Insert and adhere the mini card (watching so that is is centered when placed).
- Then embellish with a few more Rhinestone Jewels.
After making that first one, I wanted to make several to send to team members. But I didn’t have much Silver Foil paper left. So I made a big stack of this second version of the Sweet Talk Diagonal Joy Fold Cards. I love how each one is a bit different depending on the hearts AND the section of ombré glimmer paper added. But they are all so fun and “sugary” looking…a “tasty” way to wish someone a Happy Valentine’s Day without any calories or cavities.
