Terrific Tri-Fold, Thursday Tutorial with Sweetest Thing

Tri-Fold Card Tutorial

Fancy folds can be really easy to make, and they are wonderful for showing off the patterns on both sides of designer series papers.  It's sometimes hard to choose which side of the paper to use, but you don't have to choose with designs that show off both!

There is a cardstock panel on the back to add a decorative border, but also make the card sturdy.  There is also an inside panel so you can write your message or stamp a sweet sentiment.  Coloring these candies and jars is also super easy with the Stampin' Write Markers, but you can also use the Stampin' Blends.
