This project is a tri-fold card that will impress the recipient, yet require very little production time. The folds are inspired by a card I received while participating in a swap with Christina Crawford. I knew you would be interested in the process used to make this little gem, so I created a pdf document that includes a template and instructions. It is a great skeleton that can be modified in so many ways. Keep it really interesting by changing the shape of the window punch each time you utilize the design. I also used one of my favorite techniques on this card. I stamped flowers using dye ink and then ran a moist paint brush over them. It creates a soft watercolor look, and it helps to blend any unevenness you may have ended up
with during the stamping process.

I’ve already posted once, but thought I’d let you know – I tried the cards (the directions were so simple). I made my grandson’s valentine card. I omitted the punch on the front & used a penguin – It turned out so cute!
love how the card keeps getting better and better as you open it!
I think this might be my favorite of all your cards!
Susan
Love your watercolour technique! And I like the closure with those buttons…you’ve given me an idea on what to do with some pretty buttons I’ve been hanging on to. And I’m always interested in cards which are easy to reproduce. Thanks so much!
