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.

When designing cards for the recent To-Go class, the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper was front and center on two card designs. It is not just for Halloween but can be used for various occasions. For the card in class, it is featured on a Thanksgiving Wishes card. While several of the designs in the designer series paper are Halloween themed, most are generic designs. On today’s card, the Pretty Peacock design offers a beautiful background. It coordinates wonderfully with silver foil texture embossed elements.
Materials:
- Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”; 1-1/2” x 1-1/2” for leaf
- Whisper White: 4” x 5-1/4” (for Layer 1); 1-1/4” x 2-1/4” (for sentiment)
- Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper: 5” x 3-3/4”
- Silver Foil Sheets: 3-1/2” x 2-1/2”
- Stamp Set
- A Wish for Everything Stamp Set
- Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Dies:
- Gathered Leaves
- Stitched Shapes
• Embellishment: 1-1/2” Metallic Mesh Ribbon (approx. 8”)
• Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Dimensionals & Glue Dots
To assemble the card, attach the Whisper White cardstock and the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper to the card base using Stampin’ Seal. With the small, veined leaves dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies, cut two leaves from the Silver Foil Sheet and one leaf from the Pretty Peacock scrap. Next, stamp the sentiment onto the Whisper White using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad and add to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, add the cut embossed leaves to the label and card using Stampin’ Dimensionals and glue dots to adhere. Complete the card by adding a Metallic Mesh Ribbon bow to card.
Be sure to look at both sides of your Designer Series Papers when designing cards. Often, themed papers offer prints that are appropriate to use for other occasions. Remember, Magic in This Night is not just for Halloween!
