Trifold Shutter Card

Here is my attempt at making a Tri-Fold Shutter Card found from a tutorial I found on Splitcoaststampers.com.  It is a great site if you need some inspiration, like I always do.  The supplies I used were from the CTMH Workshops On The Go Skylark Scrapbook Kit (G1072) which includes  the  Skylark Assortment (z3000) , Lagoon and Kraft papers.  Additional items used are Skylark Complements (X7177c) and a stamp set from the Cricut Artiste Collection (Z1790) called Word Balloons for the sentiment.  I am going to send this to my SIL to cheer her up. I am pleased at how it turned out.  It was not hard to do so I am hoping to show this technique to our community Paper Arts Club when we start back up in the fall. I will post the cutting directions below.

CTMH Workshops On The Go Skylark Scrapbook Kit will be discontinued at the end of July.  Please go to my website to see all the retiring products.  The new catalog will be available August 1st.

Directions:
Start with a 5½  x 12" piece of cardstock and place it horizontally on your scoreboard.
Score at the 2", 4", 8" and 10".

Turn the paper ¼  and along the long edge, measure in 1½ and make a slit between the 2" and 10" score marks.  Turn paper to the other side and repeat.  Fold the card as pictured above.

Measurements for the decorative paper : 

4 pieces at 1 3/8 x 1 7/8

2 pieces at 1 3/8 x 3 7/8

1 piece at  2 3/8 x  3 7/8 

2 pieces at 2 3/8 x 1 7/8

2 pieces at 5 3/8 x 1 7/8 and if you want to mat those cut 2 at 5¼ x 1 3/4
