T
his Little Piggy wishes you a happy birthday!
This angled tri-fold card can be created using any designer series paper and stamp sets you might own!
A very versatile card for any occasion.
You will need:
Card base: 5 1/2" x 11" scored at 3 3/8" and 7 5/8"
Designer Series paper: (cut 2) 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White (Inside) 4' x 5 1/4"
Belly Band: Coordinating card stock 1" x 9 1/2"
scraps / stamp set / die cuts to create focal point on belly band
Pencil
Adhesive of choice
Dimensionals
Embellishments
Place your card base in your trimmer / scorer with the short end (5 1/2") at the top.
With a pencil, create a tic mark at the top AND the bottom of the paper 1 1 /2" from the left edge.
Create a second tic mark at the top AND the bottom of the paper 1 1/4" from the right edge.
Cut at an angle from each tic mark to the first score line on the same side (edge) of the paper.
You should end up with a piece that looks like this.
Place your Designer series paper pieces together, RIGHT sides in (facing each other).
Holding them together, place the long side (5 1/4") at the top of your trimmer / scorer.
Create the same tic marks (1 1/2" from the left edge and 1 1/4" from the right edge) ONLY at the TOP of the paper.
Cut at an angle from each tic mark to the corner of the paper on each side.
Adhere the Designer Series paper to the card base. (If the pieces don't seem to fit correctly, try them on the opposite side!)
Stamp sentiment (optional) and adhere the basic white card stock piece to the inside of the card.
Create the belly band by folding the 1 x 9 1/2" strip around the card. Be mindful not to make it too snug. Glue ends of the belly band together.
Create focal point to adhere to belly band.
