Triangle Trifold

A quick trifold card with a twist.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Score your card base cardstock at 3 1/2" and 7".

   

2. Step 2

   Now you have three equal scored squares on your cardstock. Add a diagonal score to both of the outside squares.

   

3. The diagonal scores should go in the same direction.

   

4. Step 3

   Prefold your scored lines. First fold the left square in, then the triangle down. Next fold the right square in, then the triangle up.
   
   When you're done folding, the cardstock should look like this.

   

5. Step 4

   Take your patterned paper square and cut it in half diagonally.
   

   

6. Step 5

   Adhere the patterned paper triangles to the top right and bottom left triangle on the outer scored squares of your main card.

   

7. Step 6 (Optional)

   If wanted, add an extra layer in the middle of the card. My layers here are 3 1/4" old olive and 3" white square cardstock.

   

8. Step 7

   Fold your card back up again and tie it shut with your ribbon.
   

   

9. Step 8

   Stamp your main image (for the cardfront) and add additional cardstock layers if needed.
   

   

10. Step 9

    Add adhesive diagonally only on one half of the back of your main image. If you add adhesive on the entire piece, your trifold will be taped shut.
    

    

11. Step 10

    Adhere your center image to your trifold card.
