Ready to create a Diagonal Tri-Fold Card that’ll have your friends wondering if you secretly graduated from Hogwarts School of Paper Crafting? This show-stopping design isn’t just a fun fold – it’s a jaw-dropping, “How did you DO that?” conversation starter that’s actually easier than explaining to non-crafters why you need more stamps. Plus, it’s a One Sheet Wonder that’ll make you look like a cardmaking genius!
Here’s the best part: I’m sharing two designs that’ll turn you into the neighborhood’s most legendary crafter (don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone how simple it really is). First up, we’ve got a Valentine’s/Anniversary card featuring Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Perfect Pairs’ set – because nothing says love quite like cookies and milk. Sorry, wine and cheese, you’ll have to sit this one out! Then, we’re crafting a friendship card with the ‘Stamped With Love’ set, complete with a mailbox that’s way more reliable than your actual mail carrier.
That diagonal fold? Well that’s an unexpected element that transforms these cards from simple to spectacular. Instead of an ‘Oh, that’s nice’ you’ll be saying, ‘OH MY GOODNESS, how DID you make that?!

I love to use my cardstock wisely so I designed this card as a One Sheet Wonder. You can create the card with or without the layers. I loved the look of the layers so I went that direction. The creativity of what you add to the front of the card is up to you but these stamp sets are so adorable. Add them to your collection if you don’t already own them!
