What's Up Wednesday ~ Triangle Twist Card

 Welcome! Today I have a fun technique card to share with you. I don't know it it has an official name or not but I'm calling it a Triangle Twist card. As we get into it I think you'll understand why I call it that. 

The card is a 4" square when closed. It still goes into a a medium sized envelope. There is also an easy way to make multiple cards at once!

To open the card you pull on the upper right and lower left Cornes of the card to make it unfold.

Start by using our 12" x 12" Two Toned cardstock. To prep for 3 cards at once score your cardstock at 4" and 8".  Now turn the cardstock 90 degrees and cut at 4" and 8". You now should have 3 pieces of 4" x 12" CS with score lines at 4" and 8". 

To score the diagonal lines take one piece and tip to the right lining up the corner of the CS with the end of the first score line. Score. Turn the piece so the bottom square is at the top. Again, tip it to the right and line up the corner with the end of the score line. Score. That's it!

Here is the card partially open. You can see how the scored lines work to create the triangles. You need 3 pieces of pattern paper cut to 3.75" squares. Two of those pieces are cut on the diagonal. Line up the diagonal edge along the fold and glue it down. Do the same with the other sections. The 3rd piece goes in the center of the card. Use a piece of white CS for your message and signing the card. Decorate the front with a die cut image. Be sure to only adhere it to one side of the diagonal line. Here I used foam to pop it up. I added a sentiment piece and inked the edges of the CS to make it stand out a bit from the pattern paper.

Here the card is all the way open. It's a fun card to make. Why not give it a try?

Thanks for stopping by. Come back often for more ideas!
