ME Designer Series: Tri-Fold Birthday Card

 Hi crafty friends! I have a fun tri-fold card to share with you today! The first thing I did was pick the cardstock colors and create the tri-fold base. I cut the angled flaps and made sure to leave an extra 1/4 inch to create a scored tab so I could glue it onto the back panel. 

Then I stenciled polka dots on for a tone-on-tone look. 

I colored up all of my images and cut them out with coordinating die cuts. Since some of the images would be sticking out above the flaps, I glued another die cut to the back of the image so the marker bleeding wouldn't show. 

I arranged my images and glued them on with a mix of liquid glue and thin foam squares.

For the sentiments, I wanted them to stretch across the bottom of the panels. Since the Years Remembered sentiments are broken up into 2 lines, I masked the sentiment and stamped... then masked the other line and stamped again to create a single line sentiment.

Then I cut the sentiments out with a sentiment strip die and glued them on.


Thanks for stopping by today! Happy crafting! ~Jenn
