Trifold?! Birthday Card with Die Cut Florals and Foiling

It has been ages since I made a trifold?! card (in fact, I can't even remember ever making one), so I decided to make one using some new floral dies in my stash (you might remember these dies from another card I shared recently). Plus I needed to make a fancy Birthday card, so this gave me the perfect excuse to do some die cutting and play with my supplies.

Stunning! Gorgeous! Beautiful! In spite of the war you are living in, your art work is awesome! And please know, the prayers are being answered…prayers from so many multitudes! At the local grocery store today we were ask to donate to Ukraine! Don’t you love hearing this? Blessings n stay safe.

[@0903photography]

If I got this card, I would ugly cry. It’s so beautiful 🤩

[@Yana.Smakula]

lol thank you! I gave it to my mom for her Birthday :)

[@donnadegale-kalloo5926]

Lol

[@joyelleforjesus]

@@Yana.Smakula Every single card you do is beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from you. Could you possibly show how you decorate the inside and envelopes of cards like these that only use die cuts and not stamped images?

[@aslinsantiago2795]

That’s actually a Trifold card. Gatefold cards are the ones that the panels meet in the middle to close. It is BEAUTIFUL anyways!! GORGEOUS. as always...your cards are so unique, I can recognize them just by seeing a pic without even knowing it’s you who made it!! THANKS for the constant inspiration!!! ☺️

[@markdolan9459]

How are you doing today?

[@wendykidd]

I find that once I start with these flowers, I can’t stop! They’re so much fun to build and arrange. I would say that these 2 die sets are a must have for anyone who loves florals. Beautiful card, Yana!

[@carronmackinnon1030]

I love watching you work you make it look so easy. They are all so beautiful x

[@susantalcott2485]

Thnx for the scoop about the plain paper to protect the card while die cutting!!

[@markdolan9459]

How are you doing?

[@carrie5260]

Yana, you’ve become my favorite designer ! Your cards are beautiful, and you always offer alternatives for those of us who don’t own a particular stamp or die set. You also offer wonderful tips to help with intimidating processes (such as your hinge method for foiling ) and ways to hide our boo boos when we might be tempted to start over. I’ve purchased several of the foiling plates you designed, and the few that I’ve used on cards were big hits ! Thank you !

[@bethgable1275]

Beautiful!

[@pennyf9886]

SO beautiful Yana. I hope You are all right.

Love the card! The first one will take longer because of the floral organization, but using it as a guide, more cards can be made like it in less time.

What a wow. Card when my one set arrives I will have to do some serious die cutting of flowers. I cut flowers from the large die for April 2021 Today for about 4 hrs with a few breaks.

[@markdolan9459]

How are you doing Cindy?

[@saritad8606]

Beautiful card - as always. Question- why are these kinds of cards called Tri-fold when there are only two folds? A better name could be Bi-fold or Tri-panel cards.

[@marywebster1240]

Junk mail is a good use for protecting the cardstock and you were going to throw it away or recycle it anyway!

[@markdolan9459]

yeah it's, how are you doing today?

[@CouzCat]

Lovely. I’m a little confused. Isn’t this a trifold card? A gatefold meets in the middle?

[@Yana.Smakula]

haha, yes :) it is my take on the gatefold I guess :) thank you! Let's call this a translation issue :)

[@CouzCat]

@@Yana.SmakulaYour English is excellent, far better than my Ukrainian! I’m a huge fan & have been following you for quite some time. I particularly enjoy your Glimmer posts. My latest purchase was the Diamond Floral frame glimmer plate which sadly went missing in Canada Post. I’m very grateful that Simon is reshipping it, the cutting tool & several other items from the same order.

[@lturnmire]

What was the machine you used to foil the card? I missed that.

Yes, I agree, minor correction but it's still lovely regardless
