One of the cards we made at my classes this weekend was a Tri-fold Shutter Card. We used the Fox & Friends stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog and also the sentiment from the Whimsical Words set, which is also from the Occasions mini. I promised my gals that I would post the instructions on my blog today.
TRI-FOLD SHUTTER CARD TUTORIAL
Step 1: Cut a piece of card stock 10-1/2" x 5-1/2"
Step 2: In landscape orientation, score in from the left: 1-3/4" and at 3-1/2"
Step 3: Score in from the right: 1-3/4" and at 3-1/2"
Step 4: Make a CUT 1-1/2" down from the top edge and 1-1/2" up from the bottom edge, making sure your cut line is ONLY from the first score mark, to the last score mark, as shown at right with red lines.
Step 5: Fold sections forward and back, in the manner that will facilitate the fold of the card.
The picture at the right is looking down at the card.
The photo at the left shows the folds as the card is flat on the table.
Step 6: Fold the card back to lie flat, and start embellishing panels. You can use Designer Series Paper or stamp coordinating cardstock to layer, as well.
NOTE: This card has two end panels which are 5-1/4" x 1-1/2", two top and bottom panels which are 3-1/4" x 1-1/4". If you want to make four tiny panels instead of using punches, the measurements would be 1-1/2" x 1-1/4".
