- Paper cutter with cutting and scoring blade
- 3 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ piece of cardstock for card base (here So Saffron)
- one 3 1/4″ square of designer paper….or two if you want different colors on each triangle
- Stamps
- Ink
- Scissors and adhesive
- Ribbon to close the card
- Embellishments
Step one: Score your card base at 3 1/2″ and 7″.
Step two:
Score the right of the three panels diagonal from inside bottom to the outside top corner.
Then score the left side of the three panels diagonal from the inside top to the outside bottom corner.
Step three: Fold and unfold all your scores.
Step four:
Take your 3 1/4″ piece of designer paper and cut it in half diagonally.
Step five (optional):
If you want two different designer paper, take another 3 1/4″ square and cut it in half diagonally as well. Be careful in planning the diagonal cut when you have directional pattern on your paper.
Step Six:
Tape your designer paper triangles on your outer card base triangles.
Step seven:
Tie your card shut by running a ribbon all around it and tying a bow.
Step eight:
Stamp your center image.
Step nine (mini tutorial on the spiral punch):
Take your spiral punch and turn it upside down. Slide your cardstock all the way in and punch.
Step ten (mini tutorial on the spiral punch):
Slide your cardstock over until the last punched slit slides into the little guide on the right hand side. Punch again. (I love this punch!!!)
Step eleven:
Add extra layers to the main image if needed! Like Jami says….More is More. LOL
Step twelve:
Add adhesive only on one diagonal half of the back of your main image. If you add adhesive on the entire back, your card won’t open later.
Step thirteen:
Tape your main image on your closed card front.
Step fourteen:
Add embellishments to finish the card.
I am sorry about the different sized pictures. I will have to work on that in my future tutorials.

Hallo Beate,
wie geht es dir und deiner Familie?
Du, ich habe schon vor Wochen deinen Blog abboniert. Ich habe auch die Mail in meinem Email Account bestaetigt.
Leider bekomme ich immer noch keine updates zugeschickt sobald du etwas neues postest.
kannst du dir denken was das Problem ist?
Herzlichen Dank
Claudia

I love this idea! I tried one the other night, and I have to say, your directions are fabulous. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Beate,
I just made a triangle fold card using your tutorial from Splitcoast. It was so easy using your directions and I just wanted to thank you for such a fun card!

Beate, I love your instructions. They are always so consise and easy to follow. I saw a journal somewhere that had a pen holder on the back spine. Do you know how that was done, if so I would love to know. I can’t remember where I saw it but thought it was on SCS but can’t go back to it.
Wow, I am so amazed at all the work you do so we can enjoy & make beautiful items for our families & friends. You make us look so good! Thanks for all your hard work & especially the time you put into everything associated with stamping. I am so gratful to you for all of it!
