Diamond Fold Card & Pleated Scallop Flower Tutorials

Here's a new-to-me card fold: the diamond fold card! I have to thank fellow CTMH consultant Brenda F. for a great tutorial (on her blog HERE). I made mine with the Sweetheart papers and taught my card class participants today how to make their own. It really is easier than it looks, so I encourage you to go check out Brenda's great tutorial!

Angela Tutton also has a great tutorial on her blog that shows how to created a pleated flower using the 2" scallop punch! Click HERE to learn how. I made mine slightly differently than hers by using one whole scallop- minus one segment (like she did)- plus a slightly larger second scallop (one half plus a segment, all one piece) for the other so that I could overlap the pieces. This is much easier to show than to explain! LOL Hopefully that's enough info to jog my students' (and my) memories.

Finally, here's an example of a "carnation" style flower that I also showed how to make. This particular one uses five scalloped circles held together with a brad. Let me know if you need instructions!
