Well we're getting closer to November so thought I'd better share the cards we'll be creating at classes on Tues 5th 1.30pm in Laanecoorie, Thursday 7th 7pm Laanecoorie and Saturday 9th 10.30am Maryborough😃 In the class you'll create all 4 cards for $24 (and have a fabulous social time!)
So, here goes, as it's November we're up to 3 Christmas Cards.
Now we're onto a clear run of Christmas Cards. I love this look, where it looks like you're looking up in the middle of a forest, I've used a stamp from the fabulous Christmas Wishes Kit, for the saying and the trees are from Peaceful Evergreens.
I saw this really cool card on a Facebook reel, it was done so quickly, that when I came to try it it took me an awful lot of rewinds to get it right 🤣 So I figured I could do it a little slower to show you all how to make it too. Here are the photos of the cards I created:
Then the card I made in the video uses Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper with Pebbled Path Cardstock, I think it looks really elegant! I ended up making it into a sympathy card, as my Step Dad passed away, so I needed a lovely card to send to my Mum (hope she likes it!) I love the way the bird freeze goes through the panels of the card.
And now for the measurements..... the way I made it in my video:
(this is the metric version I worked out)
You will need a base card (A5) scored in 1/2 at 10.5cm, then trim 5cm off one side (so you only have a 1/2 flap at the front)
Next you need the "mechanism" component this is a 1/2 piece of A4 cut lengthways (10.5cm x 29.7cm), you need to score this at 7cm, 14cm, 21cm and 25.2cm. It folds in an S or 5 shape.
Ok then you'll need the decorative pieces:
For the base card plain cardstock 14.3cm x 10cm, and 14.3cm x 5cm (pretty sure you can work out which goes where!)
Then the mechanism first "mats" are:
4cm x 10cm, 3.7cm x 10cm, four of 6.5cm x 10cm
Then designer paper onto the first 4 mats are:
3.5cm x 9.5cm, 3.2cm x 9.5cm, and two 6cm x 9.5cm
Then you'll also need two plain (in this case white)
6cm x 9.5cm
However if you'd prefer the US measurements (Imperial), this is the measurements from the clip I saw:
Base Card 5.5" x 6.5" score at 4.25"
Mechanism: 3.5" x 10.5" score at 2,3,5.5 and 8"
Mats: Front of Card 2" x 5.25"
Back inside card 4 x 5.25"
Mechanism front strip 3/4" x 3.25"
Mechanism 4 panels 2.25" x 3.25"
If you watched the video you'll know I had a couple of spare pieces I accidentally cut, so I made those into sympathy cards for my Step Dads 2 daughters (again I just think the combination of Pebbled Path and this Designer Paper is so elegant looking!)
If you missed the video, here it is.....
I hope this inspires you to have a go at creating a Tri-fold card, I'd love to see what you make!
