I have fallen in love with making tri-fold shutter cards. I love how cute they are. I love how you can use all manner of scrap paper to make them. I love that I can embellish them like crazy. I love that they are mini pieces of art :)
Yeah, I love them. Here are a few that I made for after our crazy art show.
The paper is from a block of paper from Hobby Lobby, sorry I don’t remember what it is. Stamps are CTMH and the embellishments are from too many stores to list!
I saw the template for these cards and just had to try it out myself. It is an easy card to make and the best thing is that besides the base, you can use all manner of scrap papers!
To make my cards, one base is Chocolate and one base is Colonial White. All the rest is made from Caprice papers from Close To My Heart. I am doing my best to use up all of my scraps, but they seem to multiply :) !
I had already written in the card before I took the pictures, that’s why each card has the distorted piece. I didn’t want to share the written part with the online world before the actual recipients got theirs!
The embellishments are from a couple of different sources, the flowers are Prima and the inked arrow is Tim Holtz. The ribbons and brads are from a variety of sources.
Here are a couple of close-ups.
I can’t wait to deliver these cards! In person, they really are more like a little gift! And, in case you think this crafting thing is a fluke, just you wait cause I’ve got a big project that has to be done this week! I can’t wait to show you what I am making…
