Hello, my friends! I have a new fun fold to share with you today, and I think you’re going to LOVE this! It’s called a Triple Book Fun Fold Card, and while it might look a wee bit complicated when you first see it, trust me, it’s much easier than you think!
I don’t typically make 5″ x 7″ cards, but I really love this size for the Triple Book Fold.
I did experiment with making a smaller 4¼” x 5½” version, but I haven’t quite perfected those measurements yet. LOL! For now, I’m sticking with the 5″ x 7″ size.
I made several samples using different supplies, including some retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers, Memories & More cards, dollar-store patterned paper and washi tape.
It’s a great way to use up those beautiful papers and embellishments we’ve been saving!
For this card I used retired SU DSP and Pre-cut Holiday Hamlet Wide Washi/PET Tape (Seashell Gilded) from The Washi Tape Shop.
This card is for a dear friend of mine whose birthday is December 24th. She LOVES the snow, so I almost always incorporate that on her cards.
One of my favourite cards I made with the Triple Book fold features a gorgeous winter village scene created with new Pre-cut Yuletide Glow Wide Washi/PET Tape (Seashell Gilded). I’m so happy with how this card turned out!
On the Night of Navy cardstock, I heat-embossed my stamped images in gold, then added some splatters of gold paint. This was one of those cards that just came together as I went along! I kept pulling out bits and pieces from my stash — ribbon, embellishments, dies — and just had fun playing. SO MUCH FUN!
And can we talk about that washi tape for a minute? Holey moley. I just LOVE the winter carnival scene! There’s so much beautiful detail, and the seashell gilding adds the prettiest shimmer when it catches the light.
I loved it so much that I’m made another one for my hubby for Christmas!
You can see how I made this in my video, along with a second Triple Book card…
I first discovered this card fold while watching Paul Ford’s YouTube channel, and I’m following his wonderful tutorial. Paul used Graphic 45 papers on his cards and WOWSA – jaw dropping!
Thanks, Paul, for sharing this fantastic project! You can watch Paul’s fabulous tutorial HERE.
