Hello there - welcome to the Just Add Ink Fancy Fold Blog Hop.
You may have come from Bronwyn Eastley blog, wasn't her Funky fold just stunning!! If you are starting the blog hop here, thats fine too, it works as a circuit so you can start at any of the stops.
TRISHUTTER CARD
Today I'm going to show you a Trishutter card, a fold that's been on my list to try for quite a while so I was delighted with the excuse to make one (in fact I made two!!). This is the end result.

So how do you make a trishutter card? Well a great starting point is the Splitcoaster's tutorial, click HERE. I have also added some basic instructions and metric measurements below.
Step 1.
Using a 30.5 cm (12 x 12') piece of cardstock, cut a 30.5 by 15.2 cm piece (12 x 6 inches)
Step 2.
Along horizontal length score at 5.1, 10.2, 20.3 and 25.4 cm (2, 4, 8, 10 inches)
Step 3.
Now turn your cardstock 90 degrees and 3.8 cm(1 1/2 inches) in from each outside edge carefully cut between the first and last score lines (see S1 and s4 on the picture below).
Step 4. Fold. Not sure there is any easy way to describe how you fold the cardstock - but a picture tells a thousand words so hopefully the picture below will explain everything.
Step 5.
Trishutter card closed - now it's time to embellish!
Now I did say I made two didn't I? Well here is a sneak peek of it, I'll leave the full reveal for another time.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card, great job on the tri-shutter. You must have found that DSP in the depths of a drawer, I think it was some of the first SU DSP that I ever purchased, so pretty.
