Doodle That Trifold Cami style!
I love the trifold card Cambria Turnbow created back last year. Cami is a good online friend of mine. I LOVE her work and adore her as a person! Last year she came up with the cutest fold!!!! Debbie Olson’s version of her card was later featured in On Stage. Here is my newest version. I will eventually write a tutorial for it.
Back in my stamping Slump days, Emily posted a great Color Combo (CC95): Whisper White, Cool Caribbean and Basic Black. That’s what I used for this card.
You start out with a 4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. I used Cool Caribbean. Score at 3 1/2″ and 7″. Fold up and punch a window in the middle panel. I used the 1 3/8″ square punch. I took a scrap piece of black cardstock and punched another 1 3/8″ square in the center. Then I used my Marvy scallop square punch to punch around it and make this frame.
I stamped the flourish stamp from Doodle That scattered all over the center panel in Cool Caribbean ink. Then I highlighted the flowers, the dots and the swirls of that stamp with the white gel pen. I stamped the heart of Doodle That in black on another white marvy scallop square and colored it in with Cool Caribbean and layered that on a 2″ square of black cardstock.
I love the new white May Arts organdy ribbon I got from Starlitstudio! It looks so pretty! Off I go…maybe I get the tutorial finished today. Folds are easier shown then explained, at least for me.
Have a wonderful day! Here we have another gorgeous spring day. The sun is shining, the flowers blooming and we have close to 70 degrees.

Beate,
I adore this card. Just refreshing!! Please please please post a pic of it all opened up so we can get more peeks at it
I’ve love to give the Cami-style tri-fold a try myself but I think I may need to see it as you’ve said.
TFS!

So it was Cami who invented that cool fold? I had no idea. . . I got one in a swap, but I think the one I got was made by LunarLana. Thanks for sharing that info, Beate, and you did a lovely job on your trifold! Nothing beats CC and Black for a crisp color combo!
