Trifold Directions

  • This template shows you how to make the scores and cuts to achieve the 3-D look of the card.
  • The red lines are where a cut needs to be made through the paper that makes the backing of the card.
  • The blue lines are where a score line needs to be place for an easy, uniform fold and also as a sizing guide when decorating each block.
  • The best size I have found to work is a sheet of cardstock measuring 12 inches by 9 inches. The smaller boxes are 3x2 and the larger ones are 3x4.
  • *Tip* This card can be made using any size, using measurements that are easily divided by 3 work best.
  • *Tip* Do not put thick and high raised embellishment on the right 2/3 of the card as it will not fold properly. However, a double scored vertical lines could create more of a book look to allow for larger embellishments.
  • *Tip* Score the lines only, do not fold them until all of the paper, and embellishments have been added.
