What happens when you turn a corner in card making? You get a unique card making fold and it’s a brilliant way to close a handmade greeting card!
You’re going to love the elegant simplicity of the Stampin’ Up! A Little Lace stamp set that I’ve used on today’s card. You’ll find this stamp set (which is also offered as a Bundle with a coordinating die) on page 42. This stamp set includes beautiful needlepoint images and a selection of mixed font greetings.

Unique Card Making Fold Details
The corner piece is a separate piece of cardstock making this unique card making fold easy to assemble. Be sure to watch the video for tips on adhering it!
I used the border stamp from this set for the tone on tone stamping for the corner piece. Stampin’ Up!’s color coordination makes creating background incredibly easy. There’s nothing like having an ink pad that matches the cardstock!
The streaks and definitive lines left behind from a dye-based marker can create coloring frustrations, especially when you’re using darker tones. The Stampin’ Blends markers provide flawless coverage since they are alcohol-based. I’ve also included links below to my Stampin’ Blends video series.
One of my favorite greetings in this set was “you know too much”. It’s perfect for this friendship card!
