This week I taught a "FUN FOLDS" class... what fun projects.. everyone had a great time!
Here is project #1: Tri-fold Christmas Card
I got this trifold idea from Fran Sabad back in January. I've been anxious to work this into a class! I got the color combo idea from Roxy! :) Thanks for your inspiration, gals!
FRONT:
Front flap open:
Inside:
For the closure, students picked any one of the 3 clips in the clip assortment.
My version of this card is just a little smaller than Frans, and starts with a 1/2 sheet of cardstock, cut to 4-1/4"x11. It is scored and cut per the diagram below:
That looks a little hard to read on my end - I think you can click on it to make it larger.. if not, what it says at the bottom is:
After scoring, measure 1-½” up from the corner, as shown, and make a dot with a pencil, then cut from the dot to the upper score line to form the diagonal cut for the front of the card.
