Floral Delight Unique Trifold Card

This is my version of the card that started my quest to learn how to do this fold!  As you know, I love cheerful yellow, and this one does not disappoint! I paired the Floral Delight DSP from the new mini with the Labeled with Love stamps in the Annual Catalog!  I had a lot of fun creating my version!





Measurements:   

  • Lemon Lolly: 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" (base), 3 1/2" x 10 1/2" (insert)
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2 pcs @ 2" x 5 1/4", 2 1/4" x 3 1/4", 1 3/4" x 3 1/4" 
  • Floral Delight DSP (N): 2 1/4" x 3 1/4", 1 7/8" x 5 1/8", 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (yellow print); 3/4" x 3 1/4",  2 pcs @ 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" (Blue Floral); 1 7/8" x 5 1/8" (White Floral)
To Make This Card:

  • Score Lemon Lolly "base" along 6 1/2" side at 4 1/4". Crease well, and set aside.
  • Score Lemon Lolly "insert" at 2"-3"-5 1/2"-8". Start at the 2" end, and make a "mountain" fold, and another "mountain" fold, and then a "valley" fold, and then another "valley" fold.
  • Let's create the "base" first. Adhere the largest White layer and the largest Yellow Print layer to the inside flap.. Attach the 2 White strips to the front and back of the front flap. Adhere the Yellow Print to the front, and the White Floral to the back. Set aside.
  • On the insert piece, we'll work from the left to the right on the top of the piece.  
  • On the White, front layer, stamp the sentiment in Old Olive ink near the top, as shown. Stamp the "leaves" several times in Old Olive below the sentiment.  Then, add Lemon Lolly flowers (This is a 2-step stamp). Attach to front flap of insert.
  • Let's continue along insert. Next, attach add the 7/8" Blue Floral strip to the narrow area.
  • Next, attach the final Yellow Print piece.
  • The next area will be a White, stamped piece.  Stamp the lower, right corner with the leaves in Old Olive ink. (only one)  Again, add Lemon Lolly flowers, and sentiment in Old Olive as well.  Then, attach to the next panel.
  • Then, add one Blue Floral piece.
  • Finish this insert strip with the last Blue Floral on the back of the last panel (which will end up on the "outside" when folded.
  • Now, we are ready to adhere the insert into the card base.
  • Place Tear n Tape on the front, narrow panel. Matching the crease with the front cut edge, adhere to the front.
  • Tri fold the rest of the insert, with the 1" panel extended, exposing the back panel (opposite your stamping).  Place Tear n Tape onto this piece. 
  • Flip the card over exposing this piece, and close the card base. 
  • And, Voila! It is done!!
  • Finish the card with scattered Brass Butterflies on the White stamped pieces, Lemon Lolly Rainbow Dots on the front flowers, and White SAB Sequins on the inside flowers.
