Tri-fold obcession

 I saw a You Tube Live video from Kylie Bertucci on a Trip-fold card a few weeks ago. She of course used metric measurements, so I set my cap to figure out the imperial measurements that would allow  for the most efficient way to use a piece of card stock. For specific details, she explained the instructions to a "T" so watching her video you be well worth your time (and will be fully entertaining.) 

For the imperial measurements:

Trim the 8 1/2 x 11 inch card stock to 8 1/2 x 10 7/8. Rocket science I know. 

On the 8 1/2 side, mark at 3 " with a tic mark. Rotate the card 180 degrees and mark the other 8 1/2 end at 3 " as well. 

Put each tic mark in alignment with the track of the trimmer and cut. You have two card bases now.  

Score along the 10 7/8 " side at 3 5/8" from each end. Fold in a Z pattern, and use the bone folder for really good creases. 

For decorating the card stock, you can cut all of you DSP to 3 1/2" (width) x the height marked on a diagonal minus 2/8ths to allow for a margin on top and bottom. Easy method to accomplish that is to lay your DSP on the sectional of the card you are working with, scoot the bottom of the paper up about 2/8 " and turn the whole card stock over and mark a diagonal line on the opposite side of the DSP, and then cut with your trimmer. Easy Peasy! You will need to decorate all 6 sections I think. This card fits beautifully in a regular A2 envelope. 














Coffee Scented Cards.....who knew????
