You're gold pop-out diamond fun fold card

 I've made another pop-out diamond fun fold card for you today.  I love this fold, it looks like it should be so hard but comes together so easily!  It adds an additional wow factor to your handmade card.  I wanted to showcase the Good Luck stamp set as Stampin' Up! rarely gives us a stamp set for St. Patrick's Day.  I suggest you get it as soon as possible before it sales out.  Once Valentine's Day is over, it will start to sell quickly.  To see how I've put my card together, be sure to pop on over to my YouTube channel for the video tutorial.  You can find it easily by clicking this link.
