Tutorial - Mirror Fold Card

A few additional score lines turns a simple tri-fold card into a fabulous mirror fold!

TEMPLATE:

1. Place a 53/4" x 111/4" piece of cardstock horizontally on your score board and score at 33/4" and again at 71/2". Make a valley fold and a mountain fold to create your card base.

2. At the first score line, measure 2" down from the top edge of the card and make a mark. At the second score line, measure 2" up from the bottom edge of the card and make a mark. (Refer to the template for placement).

3. Score from the top left-hand corner to the first 2" mark, then from the 2" mark to the top of the second vertical score line. (Refer to the template for correct placement).

4. Score from the bottom of the first vertical score line to the second 2" mark, then from the second 2" mark to the bottom right-hand corner.

5. Close the card and loosen the score lines by bending them slightly as shown below. This will help you create the folds.

6. Bend the cardstock along the score lines, in the opposite direction of the vertical folds. The first "triangle" will fold backwards, and the second will come forward. See below.

7. To decorate, cut patterned paper and/or cardstock to fit each section of the card. I found it easiest to cut three 31/2" x 51/2" pieces of cardstock - one for each panel - then used a pencil to mark the score lines before trimming them to shape. As you can see, I also added a layer of patterned paper over the top.

8. Embellish as desired.
