Triangle wishes

So are you ready for another double sided designer paper project? Good, because I just happen to have one for you. Tonight it's all about a love triangle. Not the kind on a soap opera, though. It's a card maker's love triangle, meaning a triangle fold love note.

The triangle fold is a great way to showcase both sides of your designer paper. And since our double sided paper is rather sturdy, it's perfectly fine to use it for a card base, especially if you reinforce it with a couple of card stock layers like I did on this card.

For the main image on this card I used the In The Spotlight level 2 hostess set to stamp the main image. I love how the 5 petal flower in this set just coordinates perfectly with the 5 petal punch. Not having to cut these flowers by hand made stamping this card a breeze.

On the inside of the card I used the same card stock layers as on the outside, stamping another flower from the In The Spotlight set and a greeting from Hugs and Wishes. I also folded the corners of the triangles under to emphasize the double sided nature of the paper. I think it turned out pretty neat and it was such a quick card to make. It would work very well as a card attached to a birthday, anniversary or wedding gift, don't you think?

Oh, and in answer to Diane's question from yesterday, SNAIL is the Stampin' Up! double sided adhesive in a handheld mess-free dispenser. The initials stand for Simple, Neat, Affordable In-Line. The dispenser also looks a little like a snail shell, but I personally think it's called snail because when you drag it it leaves a slimy sticky trail -- LOL! HTH!

ETA: For those of you that wanted the measurements,I started with a 3"x9" piece of designer paper, scored at 3" and 6". I then folded the first panel in half on a diagonal down towards the first score line and folded the last panel on a diagonal up towards the score line. I unfolded both panes and folded the "upper" triangle down so that the corner met the new diagonal fold line. I did the same on the back panel, only the fold was up towards the new diagonal fold line. I secured these last folds with adhesive, then added more adhesive and re-folded along the diagonal. Now, when both outside panels fold to the center they create a square front that measures 3x3".
