Today I am sharing a fun quadrangle card. In last month’s card class, participants were able to assemble this fun style of card. Okay, I know the question – what is a quadrangle? A quadrangle is simply a shape with four angles. Using a quadrangle on a card front adds interest and a different style of focal point. It’s not a difficult technique and your geometry teacher will be proud of you (LOL). Best of all, when creating a quadrangle from your cardstock or designer series paper you will have four equal pieces cut for cardmaking. So, it’s great when you want to make multiple cards of the same design.
To create a quadrangle: start with a square piece of cardstock or designer series paper. Mark the same distance on all four sides of the square. Then cut from one mark to the opposite mark on the other side of the paper. After cutting, you will have four quadrangles the same size.
For this card: a 6″ x 6″ square of Bumblebee cardstock at 1-1/2″ on all four sides. It is then cut from one mark to the opposite mark on all sides. For the smaller designer series paper quadrangle, a 5-1/4″ piece of designer series paper is being used and marked at 1-1/4″ on the four sides.
After cutting, you will have four equal pieces:
Materials & Assembly Directions:
- Create a card base using Early Espresso Cardstock (5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”.)
- Texture emboss the Mint Macaron cardstock (5-1/4″ x 4″) using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Attach to the Early Espresso card base.
- Layer the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper to the Bumblebee cardstock angle and adhere to the Mint Macaron layer.
- Select the sentiment from the A Wish for Everything Stamp Set. Then, stamp the sentiment onto a 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Early Espresso and Bumblebee Classic Ink Pads. Use the 2″ circle punch to cut and use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add to the card front.
- Embellish with a bow using the 3/8” Embroidered Ribbon.

Today I am sharing two cards from Linda’s card class projects. Linda is a member of my Playtime with Paper team. In addition to being on my team, Linda leads her team, the Crafty Herons. Due to COVID-19 precautions, we are temporarily offering online card classes vs the in person classes. Participants in the classes purchase the project kits and join in via Zoom for the scheduled class. So, last week Linda led a group of craft friends through construction of four projects. Since I could not attend the class, Linda provided project photos. And, I’m sharing two of the projects with you. You’ll find the descriptions below each photo.
Ornate Garden Congratulations
For the project above, the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper provides a beautiful background. Using the Ornate Border Dies, the designer series paper is cut before adding it to the Thick Whisper White cardstock base. Next, cut a strip of Whisper White cardstock using the dies. It overlays the designer series paper’s cut edge. Use the three flower dies in the set to also cut the flowers from Rococo Rose cardstock. Then, add some shimmer to the flowers with the Clear Wink of Stella. When dry, use Mini Glue Dots to add the flowers along the border. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. Stamp “Congratulations” onto the lower portion of the card using Rococo Rose Classic Stampin’ Pad. Gilded Gems embellish the centers of each flower. For that little extra touch, emboss the envelope flap using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.
Forever Fern Happy Birthday
To the Thick Whisper White cardstock base, add a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. Next, add one of the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper rectangles to the Pretty Peacock layer. Add a 1-1/4″ x 4″ strip of the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to the card front (referring to photo for approximate placement). On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad. Cut the circle using either a 2″ Circle Punch or one of the Layering Circle Dies (keep the sentiment toward the top of the circle). Select a variety of leaf dies from the Forever Flourishing dies and cut a piece of Just Jade cardstock, Old Olive cardstock and Soft Seafoam cardstock. Layer the leaves and attach to one another using Mini Glue Dots. Next, add a Gold Hoop Embellishment to the card and add the sentiment label in the center of the hoop using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, attach the layer of leaves to the lower portion of the sentiment label with adhesive. Embellish the stem on the leaves with the gold metallic trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.
Thank you to Linda for the photos! I am having fun completing her four class projects.
