Tri-Fold Card with a Twist

I used the beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Paper and Washi Tape to make these two projects last night on Facebook Live.  The card is a fun fold, and the gift card holder is an easy fold-up Origami envelope.

I CASEd this project from Anna Hofmann (see her card here), and I just love the fold!  The card is tied closed with Braided Linen Thread.  When you untie it and pull the triangles apart, the card base twists to a horizontal position (below).

There are two Mossy Meadow base pieces that overlap each other to make up the center panel.  Each measures 4″ x 10 1/4″, and each is scored at 5 1/2″.  The 5 1/2″ lengths of each make up the middle section of the card.

The other sections of each piece require a diagonal score – refer to the picture above for the orientation.  Each score makes a triangle with two 4″ legs.

The floral designer paper piece measures 3 7/8″ square, cut in half diagonally.  The two pieces with music notes start from a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of designer paper.  It is cut on the diagonal starting 5/8″ from opposite corners.  Refer to the pictures or last night’s video to see the orientation of this cut.  The two pieces created tuck under the triangles on the card “front”.

This is a simple Origami envelope made from a 6″ square of designer paper.  Again, I will refer you to last night’s Live to see the folding.
