Spring Corners fun fold card

Here is a fun fold card, that I am not sure of the name. I got a card in a swap with this fold using these dies. I don’t know whose card it is to give credit.

For my version I used paper from the Timeless Plaid 6x6 designer series paper pack. The paper is Lost Lagoon but I felt adding Pretty Peacock for the card base brightened it up. I changed the sentiment and cut out a little flower out of Lost Lagoon to put over the die cut flower in the back square. I white panel will be added to the back for signing and an
additional sentiment if desired.

4. Stamp with Pretty Peacock ink the white card stock with the small flower die cut out in the opposite corner with sentiment of your choice from the Spring Corners stamp set.

5. Glue both white squares to the two Pretty Peacock squares.

6. Die cut the coneflower die with the Lost Lagoon scrap making sure the three cones are getting cut out. You only need the cones not the flower petals and leaves.
Add a small dot of glue on the die cut white square in the areas that the Lost Lagoon cones (centers) of flower will be placed. Using the putty side of the take your pick tool pick up Lost Lagoon cones and add to die cut square in the openings left from when you die cut the corner.

Top half of square will not be attached. Add the second square the same way on the 7 ¾” score line. Die cut two of the small flowers from scrap of Lost Lagoon cardstock. You will need to fussy cut them out after die cut to remove fully from scrap. Glue one to top square on the front of the card over the area that has the white flower partially cut out.
