Rain or Shine TriFold Book Card

This Rain or Shine Trifold Book fold card was inspired by Karen Titus (Stampin’ on the Back Porch) but altered slightly to fit my style. I love a card that shows off both sides of the patterned paper. This card does just that so beautifully. It also is quick and easy to make. I don’t believe you’ll be able to make just one!

Here’s a photo with the first flap opened…..

and then with the second flap opened.

I chose to mat the entire card on a flat card base as I prefer the added support to the card. I did trim the patterned paper after it was scored and folded. (See the video.)

Instructions for Trifold Book card

Cut a piece of Rain or Shine double sided patterned paper 5 1/4″ x 12″. Make sure the pattern is correct in the landscape orientation. Since you will see both sides, also be sure you like both sides together.
Score the paper at 1 3/4″, 4 3/4″, and 7 3/4″ on the long side. (After the paper is scored and folded as shown in the video trim the right hand edge 1/4″ to fit centered on the card base.)
Cut (3) pieces of Old Olive card stock 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″.
Cut (3) pieces of Basic White 2 1/2″ x 4″.
Cut a Basic White Thick card base 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.
