Let's make a Split Front Trifold card

 

Hey crafty friends I'm excited to share this month's card for the Totally Techniques blog hop.  It was fun to make although as you'll see in the video it doesn't always go to plan, but a butterfly can save the day.

This month the team are sharing split front trifold card ideas. This idea was chosen by Sandra Black our German team mate and I've enjoyed the challenge dispite my hiccups.

Here is my video to show you how to cut the base card and place the pieces of DSP etc. You'll note from the picture above I added a little more stamping than the video shows and some brushed gold butterfly embellishments to 'enhance' or should I say disguise my inky fingers mishaps. 

Here you can see one of the closing flaps of the card for ideas of how to decorate your fancy fold card.  Simple stamping with a limited colour palette is quick and easy to do. 

The top layer of your fancy fold could look like this or you could adjust the size of the pieces of card you use.  

When you open both flaps you can decorate the centre space and leave room for hand written messages or stamp a sentiment and more flowers for your recipient. For mine I used a new stamp set called Layered Thoughts that will be available to Stampin' Up! fans from 6 May 2025.  

As you can see from the alternative example below you can adjust the measurements of your decoration to change the look of your card. 

Thanks for popping by today.  Do give this funfold card a try. 

Happy stamping
