I have created templates for two diamond fold cards with a finished size of 100mm (4 inches) when folded flat. Template 1 has diamond size of 100mm (4 inches). Template 2 has more folds and a diamond size of 70mm (2¾ inches). Both templates would be easy to scale up as required.
I have used template 1 with the PinBroidery MM-4 Mini Tulips Pattern. It is stitched on white card and mounted on the diamond fold card with sticky fixers.

This is a birthday card that I made for my brother who is a train enthusiast. When the ribbon at the back of the card is pulled a slider causes the middle of the card to fold so that the train is pulled upright.
The slider mechanism can be used with a stitching pattern of your choice. I have used the train pattern that can be purchased as part of the Form-A-Lines steam set. It is stitched in green, grey and silver thread on cream linen card. The card base is a grey linen card…
