I have been wanting to try out this tri-fold shutter card for a very long time and finally got a chance to do it mainly because I got this amazing Scor Buddy sent to me! I have a scoring tool on my cutter but for some reason it always comes out crooked (I think my cutter is not exactly square). So I was thrilled to have this amazing tool to use! I used the ScorBuddy two ways, to create scor lines for my card folds and to create an embossed edge for my journaling piece. Below is the template I used to make up this card....
These are the basic Instructions:
1. Cut a 12" x 5 '1/2 " piece of Cardstock. (I used Bo Bunny's Shitake Dot paper)
2. You will create score lines at the 2", 4", 8" and 10" marks (some will be 'valley' scores and some will be 'peaks'....see diagram above to differntiate which go where.
3. You will cut measure 1 1/2" up (and down) from the 2 and 20 inch marks and cut 2 slits between these markings (I cut these slits first so that I knew when to stop and start my valley and peak scores).
4. Your card is not ready to shape into the folded design (see above photo to see if you have your folds correct).
5. Choose your patterned papers that you want to use for this card and then use the card as your template, you will need to cut patterned paper:
2 pieces of the T shapes (trim 1/16" off each edge)
4 x 1 3/8" x 1 3/8"
2 x 1 7/8" x 3 7/8"
1 x 2 3/8" x 3 7/8"
I used the Scor Buddy on the middle (2 3/8" x 3 7/8") piece to make a nice embossed edge for my journaling piece. I flipped the piece over and used the two scores closest to the left edge to scor my border...
When you flip the piece over you end up with a nice bumped up border for your journaling piece, here is a close-up of the finished section, I added some clock cut-outs from the BB Timepiece 6x6 patterned paper pad to decorate this piece with...
