2015 November Card Challenge - Tri-fold Screen Card

[paddlegal]

Oh Nancy this is awesome. Quatre-fold...brilliant!!! Love all your die cuts you used. Thanks for joining in.

Loving how all of you are making this challenge your own and so creatively!

I have another one nearly done...just waiting for some elements to dry.

I made a card but will not send it. I tore it when cutting the bottom

I was so mad

[paddlegal]

Jill, so sorry it has a tear because it is so cool. Love the Fall flavor of your trip-fold. Hope you can fix this one. Thanks so much for playing along.

Sorry, Jill. That bottom was tough for me, too because I used a die. Not a punch. And had to fold it to get through the machine.

Nancy, I really like your quatre-fold. Do you mind giving us the dimensions? Thanks.

I used a die too and part caught on right panel
of course I didn't see it I pushed it through

[paddlegal]

Yes, using a die can be tricky. I folded it into thirds, taped the die in place and ran it through several times. On heavier paper it did not go through to the third panel. So I carefully removed the die, kept it folded and flipped it over. Then retaped the die carefully to match up with the cut parts and ran it through again. That sounds tedious...and it was...but it worked and is actually quite doable.

I am loving how you all have created something quite different from each other. Fabulous!

I've been working on my tri-fold version I will be teaching next month to my neighborhood craft/bead group. We will be using a variety of printed paper cocktail napkins that have been peeled down to the printed layer, adhered to white card stock and then die cut to a shape for the panels. Here are two of my samples. On both cards I fussy cut hummingbirds and butterflies for embellishments. I plan to leave the butterfly card as is and place whatever sentiment/message on the back side. On the hummer card I placed the two ovals for a future sentiment.

Nancy, I really like your quatre-fold. Do you mind giving us the dimensions? Thanks.

5 1/2 x 11 card stock. Score at 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4 along the long side.
Panels measure 2 1/8 x 4

Your fall theme is great Jill, sorry it tore. I have trouble sometimes with the heavy Club Scrap paper and punches.

Those napkin cards are gorgeous Farley!

[paddlegal]

Wow, those are gorgeous prints, Farley!

Thanks everyone. I think it's amazing the gorgeous prints out there on paper napkins. Fortunately, Tuesday Morning makes it affordable. You could go crazy-broke buying them. My weekly crafting friends are really into the napkins and regularly bring packages of them in to share which is a great way to enjoy a multitude of designs.

[ScrappinJen]

Very classy cards. Your group will love them.

It's great to see all the different ways you have used the tri-fold idea. I'm hoping to try it out before the end of the month!

Apparently it's from an Authentique pad. I wasn't aware of it. Bought three pieces at Chico Scrapbooks last week. But I'm on the lookout for the pad.

Thanks for the comments.
