WOW this is neat! I am a teacher and need a break tonight-I am going to light a fire and kick back and make a few of these! THanks for the photos and directions too!
Lynn...after we assemble the medallion are we suppose to turn it so all the folds are on the underside. That what I have done, but I see others didnt..which is right or does it matter at all
Yes, that is the way the sample I saw was done. But all in all, whatever side you think is prettiest is the side you should use.

Wow this looks like fun. I am geting ready for a Stampin Up party for this Wednesday, so hopefully I can get to this tomorrow and combine it with the Color Challenge. So far, everyone's card are beautiful!!
I fought the triangle and I won! LOL! I thought for some odd reason that the points had to be inserted into the triangle before it. Instead I turned to Lynn's card and followed her pattern there.
OK - Apparently I'm the only one who has NO idea how to do this. I'm at a loss and officially frustrated. maybe some wine will help - or my husband cause I can't make heads or tails of this.....It looks so fun too!
I have gotten all the way to step 10, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to fold the first triangle over the last triangle. It looks so pretty, but I can't seem to finish it!

Wow, this felt more like a life and death struggle to me. Took me forever to figure this one out...I had to leave it and come back to it 3 times. The instructions were awesome...I just couldn't get it.
Loved this challenge Lynn! I am so happy I found some time to participate. I think my card looks like the top of a gift box. My triangle fold medallion reminded me of a bow. Here is my card - Triangle Folded Medallion Poinsettia
Just lift up the edge of the first triangle and slip the last edge underneath (see photo #10)...try not to over-think it.

Here is my card... TLC195 Triangle fold Birthday by JD from PAUSA at Splitcoaststampers
After reading the comments I know I wasn't the only one who struggles with folding, but I do like the technique so I was so glad to see this posted for today's challenge. Lynn, thank you for the challenge.

I loved this fold! It really adds a lot to the card. Next time, I will try two different papers. The cards made like that are great. Here is my card:Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
since it is a white base card I had to set it on the pink paper to take the photo.
What a unique fold! It took me a little while to figure out how it all went together, but I did it! Thanks for the fun challenge today!
Here's my card... Christmas
Oh just going mad - wow, what a challenge. Love the new technique. I'm going to have to take a breather and try again tomorrow.
Here is my first attempt:
Okay, feeling stupid! After leaving it alone for an hour to make dinner, I came back and put it right together! I guess I just needed to put it down for a little while! Can't wait to add it to a card now!

After a rough start, here is my card for this challenge...I must be honest and say that I didn't think I would like it, but once again, I was wrong...I am happy with the finished result - what do you think!!? Oh yes...and thank you Lynn for this great challenge...it did me good!

Didn't think I'd ever get this one. Once it finally starts to make sense, you wonder why it seemed so hard in the first place - sure hope I get it right.
Thanks Lynn for a great and challenging technique.
Lynn, I can see how this must have been really hard to restate! I had better luck if I just worked from one side the whole time rather than worrying about flipping it over. Other than that, your instructions were great! Here's my cards - I can see using this technique on lots of things - thanks for a good one!!!
This is my second card for this challenge, I have combined it with the colour challenge...I am loving this technique...amazing how your perspective can change in such a short time - thank Lynn, this is great!

I am very new here, and haven't posted any pix yet But I wanted to chime in for those frustrated and those who may not know how they did it... When assembling the triangles dont focus on the flat edges of the design, instead focus on the tip of the triangle - they will all meet in the center of the design. None of the edges meet up, they over lap and are offset thus giving the petal appearance. I found as soon as I focused on the tip of the triangles meeting it went together very fast. Hope this helps someone!
I AM SERIOUSLY CHALLENGED
i still don't get it
