Tri-fold Christmas Card with FREE Tutorial

Hi there!

I've got a card for you today but I'm not totally sure what it's name is! Any suggestions gratefully received...

I have seen these around plenty but thought they looked a little tricky tbh so didn't bother with them... until now that is! They are really actually very easy to make and I have added a little tutorial at the end of this post  to help persuade you to have a go sharing my measurements and a couple of top tips too ;-)

So, to start this is the card I made,

I made this version in Pool Party card with Island Indigo DSP from the Winter Frost pack and a Bermuda Bay 3mm ribbon bow. Stamp set is Wishing You, a very versatile set that will still be used long after Christmas, this little stack of presents is great for birthdays too! See THIS CARD.

 And inside....

 OK, let's make it!
Start with a piece of A4 card, cut it in half at 10.5cm to make this base. Score at 8cm and 19cm.

 fold it on the score lines ensuring the larger section is inside and the shorter is above.

 punch a hole with the TOP score line in the centre of the 2.5" circle punch

 which should give you this...

 punch a 2+3/8" scallop circle from DSP

 flip it over and position, add glue to the section that will adhere to the card

 add the image with dimensionals after and decorate the top flap along the edge with the Scallop Edge Border Punch

 Tie your ribbon around a 7cm x 10cm piece of DSP and adhere to the bottom flap

TOP TIP: Ensure there is enough room for the 1" circle to go above the bow and the top section to tuck in

 Stamp first, then punch a 1" circle of card for the closure

TOP TIP: I used the card I punched out with the 2.5" circle, it's plenty big enough even with the score line

add a dimensional at the bottom of the circle and adhere above the ribbon but low enough for the top flap to fit in easily

Add a 7cm x 10cm piece of white card and decorate inside too

and your finished card again

Well, I hope you liked today's make and you have a go at making your own :-)

 I love this style of card and that it still only uses half a sheet of card I think is fab!

Wishing You, Day 3 of my Kick Start Christmas Class Series

Hello there,

Another busy day here, I have been sorting out DS1's bedroom, not fun! and also my craft room, also not all that fun, but at least it's my mess I suppose! ;-)

So, today I will share the next card from my All Day Class, this one uses the Wishing You stamp set on a tag made using the cute Chalk Talk framelits...

 OK, Red version first... Season of Style papers with Cherry Cobbler Chevron Ribbon at the top of the tag, TIP: You need to tie this loosely with the Bakers Twine to prevent the ribbon from popping out the top of the tag

We inked the stamp with Markers for this multi coloured look (Old Olive, Chocolate chip and Cherry Cobbler)

 and the Blue Version with Winters Frost papers and Island Indigo Chevron Ribbon...

 Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and Pool Party present stack with rhinestones (of course)

and both together again to finish :-)))))

Right, lots more work in my craft room tomorrow so I'm not sure what time but I will be back tomorrow with more cardy goodness.

Thanks for visiting today, I hope you liked?

Stampin' Hugs,
