Love and Laughter Trifold Shutter Card

I love Trifold Shutter cards!  They are wonderful for special occasions.  And making the card base is really easy.  It's the designing that takes me a while, though some people are pretty quick at that, too.

We made this card in last month's club.  Speaking of club, we're starting a new round, so if you'd like to join, let me know.  We meet the 4th Tuesday (6:30pm) and Wednesday (10:00am) of the month.  You can see more details here.

Here's the card standing up:

This is what it looks like closed:

And here it is laying flat so you can see each of the panels:

See what I mean?  Isn't this style of card really cool?

Supplies:

Stamps:  Love and Laughter

Cardstock:  Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Suede

Designer Series Paper:  Venetian Romance

Ink:  Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede

Embellishments:  Basic Rhinestones

If you like this style card, you can see other ones I've made here.

So, I said these were easy.  Here are some quick instructions.  Refer to the pictures if needed.

1) Start with a piece of 12" x 5 1/2" cardstock.

2)  Score along 12" side at 2", 4", 8" and 10"

3)  Rotate cardstock and cut from the 2" score line to the 10" score line at 1 1/2" in from the top and from the bottom.

So looking at the 12" side, there is a 2" panel on each end that is solid along the whole 5 1/2".  Between the two panels, there are three vertical strips 1 1/2", 2 1/2", and 1 1/2".

4) Fold.  The first panel folds back (mountain fold).  Then, the 2 1/2" piece (center) folds up (mountain fold), while the two 1 1/2" pieces (top and bottom) fold down (valley folds).  Move to the right and reverse (center is a valley fold; top and bottom are mountain folds).  Then, the last panel folds forward (valley fold).

Now it's ready for you to add your own creative touch.

Hope that makes sense.  If not, let me know and I'll add some pictures.

TSSC 274 - Love and Laughter

Sorry for the lapse in posting last week.  I was on vacation and didn't get any blog posts set up before we left.  We had a great trip to Topsail Island.  I hated for the week to end, but now that it has, it's right back into the swing of things.

Here is my design team sample for this week's Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge:

 

I used the Stampin' Up! set Love and Laughter.  Colors are Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, and Very Vanilla.  The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is Venetian Romance.  It is such a beautiful pack of paper!  And, now through July 31, buy 3 packs of DSP and get 1 pack FREE!!

Here is this week's sketch:

 

You can see the rest of the design team samples and link your entry here.  Hope you'll play along this week!
