A Tri-Fold Coffee Card

Hi Everyone!

It’s Susan and I have a fun, interactive card to share with you today.

I’ve been making them a lot lately – I think they’re just as fun to make as they are to receive. Plus they use up a lot of my designer paper that I have been hanging on to and really want to use up.

This one is called a tri-fold card or a Z-fold card and it’s super easy to make. If you haven’t made any interactive cards before or have felt a little intimidated by them then this is the one for you to start with.

 

I’ve done a video and in it I show you how to make it with either  12″ x 12″ card stock or  8 1 /2″ x 11″  card stock.

Both are possible. The 12″ x 12″ piece is easier but the 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece is not hard to make – it just requires one extra small piece. Check out the video to see how easy it is.

I don’t show any of the decorating of the card because I wanted to focus on the making of the card base.

I used patterned papers from my slowly dwindling pile. I used two stamp sets. The main one is from Picket Fence Studios and is called Coffee Understands. I also used the coordinating dies.  The two smaller sentiments are from a stamp set from My Favorite Things called Coffee Break.

 

 

I encourage you to give this a try. Like I say in the video it’s a great way to use lots of patterned papers on one card.

If you do make one, I’d love it if you share it on the Facebook SNS Challenge Page and tag me as I’d LOVE to see them.

 

Happy Stampin’

and thanks so much for visiting!
