Help Identifying this card

[Kathlene]

I found a wonderful tutorial for this graduated tri-fold card last year and made one for my granddaughter. I thought I had bookmarked or saved the template, but I didn't and the card is in Texas. Does anyone remember this card or know where a tutorial or template can be found. I did spend over an hour searching through the technique and challenge forums here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check out the first post in this thread it might help you. It's from a previous Technique Lovers Challenge.

I took the pictures of the card in your gallery and my Cuttlebug folder like the one you used and came up with these directions for the card base:

Cut one card base 10-1/2 inches by 9 inches.
Score the card parallel to the 9 inch side at 2-5/8 inches, 5-1/4 inches, and 7-7/8 inches.
Make a mark 1-5/8 inch up from the bottom edge on one 9 inch side.
Line up the card in your cutter from that mark to the first fold in from the opposite edge and cut. That give you the diagonal line.

That diagonal is not a 45 degree line so I'm not too helpful with cutting the same angle on your mats (designer and cuttlebugged) but maybe that will get you started?

Cute card!

Very CUTE card! I can see why you'd like to make more.

Thank you so VERY much for the quick replies! I'm going to sit down right now and try your measurements, Fionna. I really like the impact of the height of this card and it gives you so much real estate to slather with embellies. I had thought about trying out different measurements myself to recreate it but it's such an awesome design I thought somebody here would remember it.

Again thank you so much. I'll post a photo if I'm successful. lol

I did one too but my measurements are different. Here is what I did...sorry about my inability to take a picture!

Cut one card base 10� by 7�.

Score the 10� side of the card at 2 1/2�, 5� and 71/2�. Fold mountains and valleys. Mentally label your folded areas A B C D from the left**.

Make a mark 1 1/2� up from the bottom edge on the left side of your card on the 7� side.

Line up the card in your cutter from that mark to the first fold and cut. That gives you the diagonal line.

Cut 3 strips of two designer papers 2 1/4� x 7� for you four areas.

**A area needs a 2 1/4� x 2 3/4�, B = 2 1/4� x 4 3/4�, C = 2 1/4 x 6 3/4�, D = 21/2 x 7�

You can trace angle onto the designer paper or mark* and cut.

*a= 1 1/4�, b= 3� and c= 5� from bottom edge of strips; cut angle from mark to upper corner.

Wow, what a bee-autiful card queenbee! That's pretty much it, I'd say.

I sat down with my Scorpal and a piece of 9x12 cardstock, scored it at 3", 6" and 9". Then cut the diagonally about 2" to the 9" fold line and that's it. The end result is a card 3" x 9". Tall and slender but with plenty of room for pizzazz just like I'd like my own shape to be. 8-)

Thank you ladies. You're all awesome.
