Tri-Fold Around the Bend

This Tri Fold Version was designed by LeeAnn Greff. She created her tri-fold a little smaller, so she could mount it onto a colored base! It works as the base is all one color! Love how the largest flower is used to help keep the top flap down. And, of course it uses the gorgeous Around the Bend dies!! Love them!!

Measurements:

Basic White: 5 1/2" x 11", scrap
Soft Succulent: 1/4 sheet, scraps
Evening Evergreen: 2 3/4" x 5 1/2"
Blushing Bride: scraps

To Make This Card:

Score White base at 4" - 8". Crease well.
Next, lay the "Scalloped, Curvy" die onto bottom of top flap of "White base".. Tape "Stitched, Curvy" die above with Washi Tape, and cut both dies out of the paper together. Note: the scalloped edge will cut separately from the stitched die, and the stitched die does NOT cut the upper edge.
Attach Evergreen piece to the wrong side of the top flap. Attach narrow, scallop piece to the Evergreen piece below the curve.
Next, trim off the remaining Evergreen piece, following the curve of the scallop piece. You can toss this piece!
Now, you can attach the "base" to the Soft Succulent layer, with the outside edges even, and about 1/8" showing top and bottom.
Stamp sentiment above die cut holes in Evening Evergreen.
Die cut 1 large flower and piece with 3 small flowers from Blushing Bride.
Die cut 2 small sprigs and the solid, medium leaf from Soft Succulent.
Die cut 1 flower center from scrap of White.
Assemble largest flower with medium leaf and flower center. Close card, and attach flower to bottom section with Dimensionals, holding down upper flap.
Add remaining flowers and small leaves to card front, as shown.
Finish by stamping "border" on inside, in Evergreen ink, and stamping smaller "leaves" along side. Oh, and don't forget your message in Evergreen on the inside, too!
