Hello all my crafty and bloggy friends! How many of you guys have made a Tri-shutter card? I see them and just ooooo and ahhhhh because the folds on them are so cool, but I've never been brave enough to make my own.... until.... I found this awesome YouTube video from Splitcoast Stampers. It was so easy to follow the directions. I'm tickled with how it came out. After I had already started to score and make the appropriate cuts, I got distracted with email and other things and ended up in the Silhouette store where I found that Lori Whitlock has several cut files there for tri-shutter cards, side step cards, and others. That would have been so much easier to have the CAMEO cut it out for me. But oh well, I've already committed to the one I was working on for today. (I did, however, proceed to download all her cut files for these fun cards for the next time. LOL)

I tried to take a photo with the card closed, but because of the bulky flowers I added to the middle it just didn't want to stay closed. So I ended up using my fingers to keep it closed for a photo. (Check out my Easter Sunday Lavender fingernail polish... cool, huh?)

Card base is from BoBunny Double Dots "Natural Necessities".

Patter papers all from K&C Tim Coffey "Blossomwood."

Spellbinders Lacy Ovals and Ovals for sentiment cuts.

Edges sponged with Stampin' Up "Brocade Blue" (retired).
