This week I have created a Tri-Corn Fold! Along with this weeks card I am using the Trimmings & Tidings Bundle I have had it sitting there forever but I have been playing with my Angels stamp set and I thought I would get it out and have a play this week.
So for this card the base is is half of your A4 card and you just fold and glue.
It is a good idea once you have made all your folds to cut and adhere your papers before adhering your card finally together in the middle. It is just easier that way. I have used the Brushed Metallic Card stock and the Tidings of Christmas DSP layered on a base of Evening Evergreen for this card.
I kept the decorations quite simple for this card as the fold is so fancy like one of those hats a sailor of the tall ships wear. For my decoration I stamped the sentiment first and then cut out the tag with the Tailor Made Tags but you could do it the other way round. I knew the angle I kind of wanted it it on but still wanted the word straight. I have stamped the stocking in Basic Gray and cut it out with the Christmas Tidings Dies as well as the star. The Stocking is coloured in with Light and Dark Poppy Parade, Dark Evening Evergreen and Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends.
I also cut out a couple extra pieced of Basic White to place on the back / inside of the hat for writing.
Of course this card folds nicely flat to fit into our C6 envelopes so it is a fun card to make and send for Christmas.
I have topped off the tag with some Evening Evergreen Sheer ribbon and some white Bakers Twine.
Hope you have enjoyed this fancy fold tonight and if you have any questions about my card today or any of your crafty needs please do not hesitate to contact me.

Another clever, elaborate, fold that is completely beyond my capabilities and patience levels! I laughed at you referring to the card as a hat, Sharon. It's beautifully decorated, and a really special Christmas card. :)
