Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Garden Green CS layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Garden Green CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Basic White CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Diagonal layers (see below)
Diagonal Layers:
- using a pencil and ruler, made tiny marks on the edges of the 3-3/4″ x 5″ Basic White CS layer:
- on the left side, 1/4″ and 2-1/2″ from the top
- on the right side, 3-1/2″ and 4-1/4″ from the top
- Basic White layer laid on top of the same size Garden Green layer, lining them up so I could cut them at the same time to keep them exactly alike
- cut the layers from the top left pencil mark to the top right mark
- cut the layers from the bottom left mark to the bottom right mark
- didn’t use the middle pieces, only the top and bottom
Stamped with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set:
- flower cluster in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
- smaller flower stem in Garden Green ink, and flowers in Misty Moonlight ink, onto a scrap of Basic White Thick CS
- sentiment in Pale Papaya ink onto the upper Basic white CS diagonal layer
- sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink over the Pale Papaya sentiment, just slightly offset
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- flower cluster in Pale Papaya, Shaded Spruce, and Misty Moonlight
Cut using the Penned Flowers Dies:
- stamped and colored flowers
Cut using Paper Snips:
- separated the two flowers in the cluster, then glued them back together so they overlapped
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- top Basic White CS layer laid on the Garden Green CS layer, then slid up so 1/8″ of the Garden Green showed along the diagonal; glued them together
- did the same thing with the bottom diagonal layers
- adhered the diagonal layers onto the DSP layer using Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to size
- adhered the flowers onto the diagonal layers with glue, and between the layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- DSP layer glued onto the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Garden Green CS layer
- 4″ x 5-1/4″ Garden Green CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- flower flourishes adhered onto the diagonal layers – larger one with a Glue Dot and smaller ones with glue

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
Love the layout and thank you for the dimension and cutting instructions! I really like how the white layers are framed and it brings out the colors of the center panel. Wonderful job and thank you for the instructions!
Absolutely beautiful!!! Matting a diagonal scares me beyond belief – I am absolutely in awe!!!
Love the asymmetrical cuts. Great card using one of my favorite stamps and DSP. TFS, and thanks for hosting a great Hop.
Love the diagonal cuts Candy! I always find those hard to make…beautiful job!
I love the diagonal angle on this card, Candy! Such a beauty!
I love this layout! Such a clean and neat card…not easy to do with all the layers and elements! Bravo!!! Thank you for the fun hop!
