TriFold Shutter Card Template 2 – revisited

December 2, 2014 by Sandy Allnock 16 Comments Filed Under: Specialty Projects

A long while back, I designed a new Trifold Shutter Card template – with two things in mind. 1) Room to write, so we could make some for Operation Write Home. And 2) easier measurements! The one I had tried originally had ridiculous odd measurements that were really difficult to follow, and I need things…well, simpler. So…I created the template in December 2012.

This past summer, Narelle Darley emailed me that she wanted to make cut files for Cricut users….and since I wanted to share that with you all too, I had it on my list for months now to revisit that card. Yes, there are items that sit on my list for a lonnnnnng time! If you’ve made any suggestions for Technique Refreshes, it could take a while -but I always put suggestions on my list!

Below is my video of today’s card. Cards, actually! I made two, since I was doing inset die work that let me make two at the same time.

    Thank you! I’ve avoided making these because I felt it was a bit complicated but mostly there was no where to write a message. Love this thank you!

    Thank you, Sandy! I’ve always loved the tri-shutter cards, but didn’t love having very little writing space. You rock!!! Have a good day 🙂

    When I was very new to card making I received a trifold shutter card and was in awe of it’s complexity. It was a long time before I tried to make one myself. Your video and PDF are so clear and easy to follow and take the complicated out and put fun into the card. I’ll be making one soon! I love how there is actually room to write a message. Thank you for this wonderful update!
