This elegant foxy tri-fold card made with the Countryside Inn designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is just adorable and easy to make.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Night of Navy card stock
- Balmy Blue card stock
- White card stock
- Countryside Inn designer series paper
- Three stacked Oblong Nested dies
- Sizzix Forest Friends (not sure on the name) dies
- Small floral dies
- Framed Florets stamps
- Night of Navy ink
- Embellishments to decorate the center of the flowers
- Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
With the Night of Navy card stock cut a piece to 3” x 9” and another to 3” x 4 ¼”. Score the 3” x 9” piece at 4 ¼” and at 8 ½”. Fold the 9” piece in half and then fold the half inch piece in the opposite direction. Put adhesive on the ½” piece and adhere the 3” x 4 ¼” piece to make a z-fold. Find the blue striped piece from the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack. Cut three pieces to 2 ¾” x 4” and adhere to each panel of the z-folded card base.
With your Night of Navy card stock die cut three of the largest panels which are about 4 ½” long. In the Countryside Inn designer series paper pack find the paper that has the foxes on it, use the middle size die or next size down to cut three of these. With White card stock us the next size down cut two. Cut out one each of the fox and the racoon (which looks like a fox) with Night of Navy card stock and Balmy Blue card stock and adhere the pieces together. For the racoon version, just take the Balmy Blue tail and cut it with a jagged edge instead of the double stripes for the racoon. With Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and White card stock scraps cut some flowers for decoration.
With the two white oblong octagons, Night of Navy ink and the “wishes for a beautiful birthday” and stamp that on one toward the top, then with the “for a special person on a special day” stamp that onto the other white one toward the top as well.
Now take all the oblong octagon pieces and adhere the three fox designer series paper to the three Night of Navy pieces. Add the two white ones to two of the pieces. Take the back one with the “for a special person on a special day” and put adhesive slightly less than half way up from the bottom and adhere to the back panel. You want it to measure 5 ½” in total so that it is the proper size for an envelope. Put adhesive about 1/3 of the way up for the piece that doesn’t have a white panel, line it up face down on the back one and fold the middle panel down so that they line up perfectly. Now put adhesive on the front panel about 1/3 of the way up and with the card folded, align with the other panels so that when the card is folded it should only show the front panel.
This now gives you the Countryside Inn Foxy tri-fold card with this beautiful fox paper in these elegant blues.
