Let's Play

Join us this week at Delightful Challenges for 

"Stitching Real or Faux". 

This week we are using the new release images for Fall in our DT creations.  I made a Tri-Shutter Card using the Fall Kids, Fall Sentiments and the Simply Fall Digial Papers.

I must say that raking leaves is not one of my favorite chores.  Although, I do enjoy playing with the pile once it is made, especially if a grandchild is near by and we can take turns jumping in the pile and making a mess.

To make a Tri-Shutter card you start with a 5 1/2 by 12 inch piece of cardstock. Score at 2, 4, 8, and 10 inches across horizontally.  Now turn the paper vertically and cut between the 2 and 10 inch score lines 1 1/2 inches in from the edge.  Turn the paper around and do that step again.  You now have the base you need to begin designing your tri-shutter card.  Split Coast Stampers has a nice tutorial you can follow here.
