Trifold shutter cards

My oldest son designed this beautiful image of Santa relaxing with a big stack of books. When I saw it, I knew I wanted to give the impression that he was sitting in front of a cosy fireplace, which meant I needed to add deep shadows to contrast with the warm glow of the flames. Let me show what I did... 1. Print the coloured image onto a piece of kraft cardstock and select a range of warm grey markers for the shadows beneath and around the image. I'm using copic markers - W8 down to W0 and…

Okay, so last weekend I told you I'd teach you how to make the Tri-Fold Shutter Card. It's really easy, just a few scores and folds and panels. [Remember: you can always click on any photo in my blog posts to see it full size!] First, cut a piece of card stock to 10-1/2" x 5-1/2". In landscape orientation, score in from the left at 1-3/4" and at 3-1/2". Then score in from the right at 1-3/4" and at 3-1/2". (see picture below for visual) You will now make a CUT 1-1/2" down from the top edge…

Tri-Fold Shutter Card Template 1. Cut a piece of card stock 10-1/2" x 5-1/2". 2. Score at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 7" and 8-3/4". 3. Make a cut 1-1/2" down from the top edge and 1-1/2" up from the bottom edge, making sure the cut line is ONLY from the first score mark to the last score mark. 4. Fold sections forward and back, in the manner that will facilitate the fold of the card. 5. Fold the card back to lie flat and embellishing panels. *Sample card that I made in 2012. Thanks for stopping by!

I decided to make a tri-fold shutter card following Beate's tutorial here--and I'm really happy with the results, though this was one of the most labor-intensive cards I've made yet. It's for a very special person, to accompany the Silhouette memory keeper box and the mix 'n' mingle album. Items used are all CTMH except the satin ribbon: Silhouette papers, Chocolate CS, Mocha opaque pearl embellies, foam pop squares, Chocolate ink, Stamp sets: From Me To You & Love Quotes. Scalloped sections…

Greeting folks. Since I posted the tri-shutter card that I made my niece (July 25th), I have been contacted by many of you looking for instruction on how to make your own card like this. Unfortunately, we have had three days of rain here in Massachusetts so I have been unable to take pictures. But it is BEAUTIFUL today so here we go... I usually start out with a 12x6.5 piece of cardstock because this size works great with most of the paper piece pattern set that I use. I have done smaller…

A long while back, I designed a new Trifold Shutter Card template – with two things in mind. 1) Room to write, so we could make some for Operation Write Home. And 2) easier measurements! The one I had tried originally had ridiculous odd measurements that were really difficult to follow, and I need things…well, […]
