Hearts of Elegance Unique Trifold Card

 I spotted a version of this fun fold online, and just loved it! Better yet, I hadn't seen any other samples anywhere.  The creator directed us to a video on YouTube, which I viewed, and came up with the original version using the Hearts Of Elegance Bundle in the Online Exclusives. I designed this one for my Stamp Club this month.  I had so much fun, I make 2 others!!  Which I will share with you later! You need to give this fold a try!





Measurements:   

  • Basic White: 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" (base), 3 1/2" x 10 1/2" (insert),1 3/4" x 3 1/4" (top, front layer), scrap
  • Melon Mambo: 1 7/8" x 3 3/8"
  • Marbled Elegance DSP (N) (OE): 2" x 5 1/4", 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" (Mambo Marbled); 2" x 5 1/4", 3/4" x 3 1/4", 2 pcs @ 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" (Mambo fleck)
  • Gold Foil: 2 1/4" square, scrap
To Make This Card:

  • Score White "base" along 6 1/2" side at 4 1/4". Crease well, and set aside.
  • Score White "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 "marbled" piece to the inside, and the 2" marbled piece to the front.
  • On the other side of the front flap, adhere the "fleck" piece. This is not complete. Set it aside, for now.
  • On the insert piece, adhere the Melon Mambo cardstock to the top, front layer.
  • On the White, front layer, Stamp the detailed heart near the bottom in Melon Mambo ink.  Add sentiment of your choice above the stamped heart.
  • Next, add the 3/4" "fleck" strip to the narrow area
  • Then add the final "marbled" piece to the insert, skip the next panel, and then add one of the "fleck" pieces. Add the final "fleck" piece to the back side of the final panel.
  • Die cut the "stitched heart" from the Gold Foil Square, and the small, stitched heart from the Gold Foil scrap. Set aside.
  • Emboss the detailed heart in VersaMark ink and emboss in gold.  Die cut with corresponding die.
  • Adhere the 2 smaller hearts to the "inside" "fleck" piece, and the larger "heart" to the wrong, outer side.
  • Now, stamp sentiment in Melon Mambo ink onto "skipped" panel.
  • 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 new, scattered brass hearts, and a small gold bow.
