2009-05-05 TRI Shutter card & Tutorial (full card front)
I wanted to try my hand at a “manly” Tri Shutter Card. I also wanted to see if I could make the fold so that I had a full card front. Here’s my first try, The basic directions are on the pictures.
Here is the way it should be folded in order to get a full card front when the card is finished.
Here is the card all folded flat; ready to be put into an envelope after embellishment.
And now the card Embellished; front only:
Spread out so you can see all the folds
One last view of the card standing up so you can see all the folds.

N-E-W!! VIDEO TUTORIAL! Beate Johns was kind enough to make a complete video tutorial on my TRI Shutter card sample. It is hosted on SplitCoastStampers.com under resources.
Here is the direct link: Video Tutorial on TRI Shutter Card
You’ll need to scroll down the page past the photo tutorial (don’t forget to look at the newest version of TRI Shutter card that I made along with a fan fold flower!); at the bottom you will see the video.
Not only does she make another wonderful sample for you to see, but you get to hear her cute little accent!

Awesome card, Bonnie! Now I suppose I’ll have to give this one a try, too:)
Another great card! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Bonnie,
My oh my, this is another gorgeous card! You had really inspired me with your first tri-shutter card, so I made one for my friend’s BD. I don’t have a blog to link to show you, but I could email you the photo if you like…I think it turned out pretty good! Now I’m going to try your full card face version–thanks for being so innovative & sharing your wonderful gift!

Bonnie another winner for sure! This is gorgeous and I love the papers/accents you used.
Love this one too.. Very clever, and the Basic Gray paper is outstanding.

Love the share!!!
I wanted to email you and see if you could possibly adjust this card to use the standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper or card stock
ex: 5 1/2 x 11

I came across a tri-chutter card for the first time on someone else’s blog and decided to goggle search and see if I could find more. That’s how I came across your blog. You did a beautiful job and I love the paper and all the accents you did. Great manly card.
