Male Tri-Fold

I really like the look of this card, which is quite versatile for both a male and female, you only need to change the picture or the Designer Series Paper.  I like it because it is different from normal folded cards.  If you are looking for a bit of a WOW factor, this is a great card.

To make this card, cut a piece of cardstock (I've used Basic Black) approximately 15.5cm x 28.5cm.  Score the 28.5cm side at 9.5cm and 19.5cm then fold.  Cut a diagonal line on the front panel from 7.5cm, measuring from the bottom of your card, all the way to the scored line (that you have scored at 9.5cm). 

I have then cut 2 pieces of  Designer Series Paper 8.5cm x 15cm.  I have used the Love Letter DSP from the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue (page 125) and stuck one piece to the last panel and the other to the second panel on the opposite side.  If you lie the card flat you should have the front piece (where the diagonal cut is) as the first panel on your left, a plain second panel and one piece of DSP on the third panel.  Turn your card over and lie it flat and you should have one piece of DSP on the middle panel.  (I hope this all makes sense). 

Decorate the front panel as you wish.  I have used Cherry Cobbler (have I ever mentioned that I love this colour???) and Very Vanilla, distressed using my River Rock Inkpad.  A mount in Cherry Cobbler and the surfer from the Seaworthy Stamp Set (page 73) stamped in Basic Black onto Very Vanilla.  The saying is also from the Seaworthy Set, which I have stuck on with Dimensionals.  The clip is from the Clips Assortment set (page 139) and the ribbon is Very Vanilla 1/8" Tafetta Ribbon (page 137), tied in a knot around the Clip.   The clip was then just clipped to the Sentiment (dimensionals used just to hold it in place).

I hope you like it!!!  I would love your feedback.  Feel free to leave me your comments!
