Tri-Fold

Thought I'd have a go at a Tri-Fold card. Took ages to make, cutting all the bits to fit.

now thats a super design.. i love that...looks effective x

What a classy card Lou, I really like this one, is there a template for these? Did you stamp the friends are a gift? It's fab!

oooh one of my ladies at my craft club was showing me one of these yesterday, she said they are easy but they dont look it .
i love how you have decorated yours lorraine

I think you should have put a 'drool alert' on the title of this thread! It's lush!

Made one of these a while back, got template from a friend. Bit of a fiddle, but effective.
The green, black and white is smashing.

Tutorial or template please. very very nice.
The colours you have used are unusal but very effective

Gorgeous, you have way more patience than me!

Lovely colours and a bit different.

Oh Lorraine this is simply gorgeous and just my cuppa ... like the others, do you have a template please? I simply love it all, especially the colours.

Oh thats really beautiful.

Thanks girls. Glad you like it.
I'm sorry, I don't have a template, but it's easy to make.

Take a piece of card 12 x 5½ inches. Score at 2, 4, 8 and 10 inches.

Now, turn your card ¼ turn then cut 1½ inches in from each long edge between the 2 and 10 inch score marks.

Fold as you see in mine above, valley, mountain, etc, etc. Then cut pieces to fit all the panels and decorate.

If you don't find it easy, I'll make another and photograph it, but I really do think you'll be able to manage from above instructions. They're really very simple.

Its super, I really like it

..but it looks fabulous.

That's brilliant!! I have seen these before and even received one as a Christmas card from a friend a few years ago and have kept it on case I wanted to use it as a template. It was different to this though as there was and extra fold and all the creases were down the middle (so if you looked at it from the top there were 2 W creases and 1 M crease as well as the edges - does that make sense? Not sure?) Anyway I like your version too

Not surprised it took ages! Gorgeous colours, Lou.
