How To: Trifold card - Video

*PLEASE FORGIVE MY CAMERA* I desperately need a new one, it's broken and over exposes everything. I'll get a new one soon. This should give you the idea though!

This card is really easy to make, and can make a big impression!

"and can be done lots of different ways for different occasions"

This card is one of the options for the Stamp A Stack Class I am holding on Friday

1. Cut your Taken with Teal cardstock to 5.5x11
2. Score at 2 and 3 3/4 from each end. Use a bone folder to go across your score line and make them "tight".

3. Cut designer paper or card stock to 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 (for the front panels). Mine are Very Vanilla card stock, embossed with a Big Shot Impressions Die, to give it some pretty texture. Sponge the edges of the Very Vanilla with Taken with Teal ink. Center and attach to card, using adhesive. A pretty patterned paper would look so nice too!

4. The center image: This can really be any size that would look proportionate to the size of the card. Depending on the stamped image you choose, your dimensions could be larger. I used the stamp set Happy Moments, with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. Very Vanilla piece is cut to 1 7/8 x 2 6/8. Sponge the edges of the vanilla paper.

5. Attach stamped image to Teal background piece, slightly larger than the vanilla one. Dimensions are 3 x 2 1/8. Pierce paper and apply embellishment brad.
6. Adhere the image to only HALF of the center portion of the card, so it will still open.
7. Color the image with ink and blender pens.
NOTE: If you use a dark paper that would not be visible for writing, adhere a piece of coordinating light colored cardstock to the middle back portion of the card. Dimensions would be 3 1/4 x 5 1/4. Sponge the edges with the matching ink.
