Sketch Saturday - Sketch #55

Sketch Saturday posted sketch #55 and I knew that I had to try it out with the new Technique Tuesday stamps that I purchased.

Here is my little ballernia card for the little ballernia in my life:

Creativity Bug's Shutter Card - Father's Day Card

What started out as a regular shutter card (see earlier post of card Sandy made for teacher) turned into a new kind of trifold shutter card due to a few scoring and cutting errors. Here is the finished product and directions on how to make one of your own.

2 or more sheets of coordinating cardstock or pattern paper (8 ½ x 11 or 12 x 12)

Stamps/Inks, Die Cuts
Ruler

Diagram:

· Using your Scor-Pal, score at 4”, 6”, 8” and 10”
· Measure 1 ½ from top and with pencil draw a line from the fold of “B” to the fold of “E”
· Measure 1 ½ from bottom and with pencil draw a line from the fold of “B” to the fold of “E”
· Using your cutting blade or exacto knife and ruler cut the pencil lines you just drew
