Floating Diamond Card

Fold and burnish the center fold then reverse fold the left side outside edge back so that only the left half of the card is covered.                                                                     

When cutting and adding DSP be aware of directional paper, you don’t want daisies growing from the sky.

Support Piece Cut 4” x 2”- Scored at 1”, 2” and 3”

Fold all score lines to the inside creating a flat box. 

Mount tear & tape to end flaps (see example)

Mark card base at 1.5” from top edge on center (5” fold) 

With outside 2 flaps folded in on themselves, line up at center score on top of card base center score where you marked it, be sure to match center lines (if this isn’t perfect your card will not fold correctly).

Once you know where it is going removed tear & tape wax on both flaps.

Then very carefully mount to card matching center lines, be sure both the top and bottom of support piece is lined up on score line. 

Once the base pieces are put together you will want to start mounting the Diamonds. 

When mounting Diamonds you need to be sure you are adding glue to the correct side, only half of each diamond will require glue.

  

                                     Base card Folded 1                                           Support Piece folded

Mat your card as you choose, double matting is always very elegant but a beautiful DSP on back 

 
Now you need to mount the support piece lining it up so that both the top and bottom of the center score of the support piece lines up exactly with the card center score. 


  Attach the diamonds to the left side of card matching the points on the left side score line and have the touch at the point.  Only apply adhesive to the left side of the diamond.  Close the card and verify the center diamond lines up then mount to the support piece, again being careful not to put adhesive where its not needed.  I love Tear & Tape for projects like this
