Stampin' Up! Easter Friends Fun Fold

Well, here we are at mid-week again and not too far away from April 17, 2022, so I thought I'd get busy with my Easter cards. Today I used the Easter Friends Stamp Set and a fold called Triple Point. I saw this fold on Debbie Mageed's site and wanted to CASE it. My card on Friday will be one she made and sent to me for entering one of her challenges.

I started with a Basic White Thick card base 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" so that it would fit in an A2 envelope.

I cut a piece of the retired Ever Eden Specialty DSP to 4" x 4" for the inside and another pattern 4" x 4". I also cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4" x 4".

On the front of the card base, I put a pencil mark at 2 1/8" and cut from that mark up to the right edge of the fold and the same on the left side. So, you end up with two triangles, which you want to save.

On the DSP that is going to be on the outside, put a pencil mark at 2" and cut on the diagonal like above. On the extra Basic White square, do the same. If you want, you can do away with the extra piece and just glue the two DSP triangles to the inner card base. I liked the raised look. So, I stamped "Happy Easter" on the white triangle. I adhered the two DSP triangles to the inside base and then glued the white triangle to fit.

For the outside, I took the big triangle and adhered it to the big triangle flap. Then with the remaining pieces of DSP and the triangles I had saved. I glued them to each other. I matched up the points at the bottom and adhered them to the big flap triangle.

Next I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch out a Basic White tag for my image from Easter Friends, which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with my Light & Dark Daffodil Delight Blends. Then I punched another tag out of another pattern of DSP, cut it in half and adhered it to the back of the image tag. I adhered it to the points with Stampin' Dimensionals. I now wish I had used gold foil for the mat.

I'm entering my card in these challenges:
