Tri-fold card tutorial

Good morning

Really horrible wet day here today but I am a happy bunny as Thursdays are now my Stampin UP days! I dont do any weddings on Thursday, just SU projects!!!!!

And also my parcel with my new ribbons etc is out for delivery!! Woo hoo!!!!!

OK, A few people asked for a tutorial on the trifold card that I made last week so here goes!!

You need a Scorer/Trimmer, 1 sheet of A4 card and some patterned paper cut 9cm wide

You need to score along the long side to divide the card into 3, I usually score at 9.9cm from one side and then score in at 9.9cm from the other side.

You then need to slice off a piece on a diagonal as shown in picture below, start at top left corner and then come down to the bottom right but not right into the corner, I usally come up about 7 or 8 cms.

You should then be left with a piece of card like this

And folded it looks like this!

Ok, this is how I make sure I have neat layers. I take a piece of patterned paper (9cm wide) and then lay it over the tallest section like the photo below. I then make a pencil mark (you can see it on the left) and then cut from the top corner to the pencil mark

So you should be left with the piece like this

Repeat on the smaller section using the same design, please note I havent stuck the tall piece down wonky!! It moved as I took the photo!!!!

Then its really important that you turn the card over! The alternative patterned paper should be on the opposite side of the card to the white paper, like below

You then should have something like this!

I have then decorated mine using the Flight of the Butterfly set and the Tiny Tags

Papers are Night and Day, only available for limited time!

CLose ups!

Right I am going to stalk the UPS driver now!!
