diamonds are a girl's best friend

apparently

i prefer sapphires myself

however this week i find myself making a diamond fold card for a card swap

and found that this tutorial was great but it was not suited to my sized card stock

so i made one up for you using a4 card and not a ruler in sight! 

 although you may want a bone folder to get those folds nice and crispy

  get an a4 sheet of card and cut down the middle

 fold in half gently-you just want the middle bits as a guide really for the next bit of folding.

 fold 1 side down...like half a paper aeroplane wing

 then do the other side-haha! a paper aeroplane!

 unfold all your hard work thus far

 turn it over and fold it the same way again

 tada-another paper aeroplane!

 unfold all your hard work AGAIN!

fold down the ends

-use the previous folds as your guide

  squish them together making a valleys and mountains fold

  

 see what i mean? do both ends

 flick it onto its front and it should look like this

and the back bit should look like this

   

eeeeaaassssyyyy!!!

now all you gotta do is make it all purdy and noice and lovely

stay tuned to see what i did with mine

cheers ears
