Today's fun fold is a trifold card. Let's face it, this isn't genius on its own. You cut a piece of 8.5x11" paper to 8.5 x 10.5" and score it at 3.5 and 7. Easy enough. What makes this card special is the angle and the fussy cutting. (CASEd here.)To make the angle, I put one corner of the paper on the "ditch" of the trimmer. I lined up the opposite corner at 4"--you have to finesse it a little. Then, slice. I stamped a flower from In Full Bloom (SU) (retired). I fussy cut along the flower edges. The flowers are colored with watercolor crayons.
This would make a lovely card for mother's day or an anniversary or a get well card...say your favorite crafter spent most of the day in the garden pruning roses and clematis.
Another adorable card Nikki. Sounds to complicated for my old brain.
