Just for You Dad Tri-fold Shutter Card

Here is another Tri-fold Shutter card I made last night. Since I sold the other two that I made, I felt I needed to make one to give to my daddy. I am going to cook for him with the food I bought from the Tastefully Simple tasting party this weekend. Since it is so "simple" he may not end up with food poisoning. lol!

I am the best baker and side dish maker in the world but when it comes to meat/chicken/ or fish I am a real disaster. I usually do alright on the grill so I will be firing that up on Father's Day, weather permitting.

The base of the card is a 5-1/2" X 12" sheet of dark blue from my Core'dinations RoyG Biv pack. I only bought it because the name was RoyGBiv...which just seems to make me chuckly everytime I hear it. The rest of the paper is all SU. Parisian Breeze, Urban Garden, Textured Kiwi Kiss (have to use those up since they are retiring June 30th), Sahara Sand and Whisper White. I used the Oval All, And Many Mower, and All Holidays stamp sets. Timber Brown Stazon ink. White and Vanilla Jumbo Grommets, Photo Corners Punch and Dimensionals.

Tri-fold Shutter Cards for Dad...

I absolutely love the Tri-Shutter fold card that was posted on Splitcoast by sheltyx1 in a challenge. This uses a 5-1/2 X 12 " piece of cardstock scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10".

Cuts are made horizontally 1-1/2" from the top and bottom edges from the 2" score line to the 10" score line. The top and bottom rows fold peak, valley, peak, valley. The middle row is folded valley, peak, valley, peak. These sold on Sunday at the tasting party like hotcakes. Now I need to make some more.

Amethystcat made a nice rough sketch on her blog that shows how to cut the DSP panels out of 1 8X8" sheet of paper.

Looks something like this (picture not to scale):

Stamp Sets used are: And Many Mower, All Holidays, Cheers to You, Circle Circus, Oval All

I can't for the life of me remember what DSP I used. Probably some from Windsor Knot and some from To the Nines, Certainly Celery, Kraft, and mostly Timber Brown Stazon, and Sahara Sand ink sponged on to distress... I used Ready to Glitter Making Memories stickers and colored the front protective backing sheet with soft suede stampin write marker for the DAD. (if you remove both the front and the back sheet, the sticker becomes adhesive on both sides). Crushed Curry stampin write marker was used to color in the beer.
