The Paper Variety....Multi-Fold Card Tutorial

 Today I'm sharing a tutorial for The Paper Variety on how to make two different types of Multi-Fold Cards.

These cards are small, simple and easy to make but what I like about them most is they give you a reason to use up those little pieces of scraps that you just can't seem to throw out 'cause you love the line so much.

Whenever I'm making multi-fold cards,  I'll repeat over and over to myself  "Measure Twice, Score Once", "Measure Twice, Score Once".   Even though I may think I'm a paper carpenter, I still make measurement errors...Blah!  I wonder if this is the reason why I have so many piles of scraps?

How to make a Triangular Tri-Fold

Supplies needed:

Scoring Board
1 piece of 3 1/2" x 10 1/2" cardstock
Patterned paper
Ribbon
Image to fit on front of card, approx 3"-4"

Take your 3 1/2" x 10 1/2"  strip of cardstock and score at 3 1/2" and 7".

Rotate paper and score diagonally on the end square corner to corner. Make sure both ends are going in the same diagonal.

Fold left side into the middle then fold triangle flap up. Do the same fold on the other side except fold the triangle down.

There you go, a simple little triangle tri-fold card that can be decorated in a million ways

Wrap a ribbon around your card and tie it with a bow to keep it closed. When adding your image to the front of the card remember to only adhere it to one side of the triangle flap. Otherwise, you won't be able to open the card.

How to make Accordion Fold Card

Supplies needed:

Scoring Board
1 piece of 4 1/2 " x 11" cardstock
Patterned paper
Various embellishments

Score your 4 1/2" x 11"paper at 1 1/2", 3", 5 1/2" and 8".

Starting on left side, mountain and valley fold on the score lines

Happy Card Making!
