Tried my hand at the Folded Tree cards....After I finally figured out the folding it went quite quick and I really like the 3D look. Making these with my club tonight. Used the Air Art tool on the blue paper but hard to make out in the scan...sponged thyme ink on all edges too including the tree.

Would this be the folded tree that SU wouldn't share with demonstrators unless they were at regionals?
Looks cool...would be nice if they let everyone in on their secret! If you're willing to share, would love to get directions. You can email me at [email protected]. THANKS

hi there,
thanks for the compliments...I got these directions and fiddled around with the folds until I got it right. Used glue dots which helped keep it all together.
Happy Folding,
Kerry
These are the directions:
There are 4 squares of designer paper (and a little piece for the
trunk). The sizes of the squares are 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2 and 3 inches.
Using your bone folder (sharp creases work best) fold the square in
half into a rectangle both ways so you have what looks like 4 squares.
Then fold into a triangle both ways -- so it's folded in half both
ways! (So it is folded in half every way it can be folded.) Then fold
back into a rectangle -- holding the paper with the fold on the top,
push in the sides to make a triangle. Take the two corners from the
top triangle and fold them to the center fold until they meet at the
crease line.....
Then layer them on cardstock to form the tree!

Thank you so much for the directions. I am going to try my hand at it tonight. Your directions make a lot of sense. At least in my head. I'll have to try it IRL.
Love the paper you chose. Great Card!
Cheers
