Hello, hello! Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers out there – and if you have cats, dogs, horses, pets of any sort – you’re a mother of those pets! So enjoy your day – maybe even do something special ❤️

My card today is a really fun, fun fold called a tri-fold shutter card, and I’ve used some gorgeous new Valley In Bloom DSP and it’s coordinating bundle Lily of the Valley stamps & dies & adorable 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies. Let’s look.

And here’s how we do this… begin with your card base 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 with score lines at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 7 & 8 3/4. With the short side at top on your paper trimmer & at 1 1/2″ cut from the first score to the last score. Now move the paper to 4″ & cut again for the fist score line to the last. Burnish well valley, mountain, valley, mountain. For the canter area, it will be mountain, valley, mountain, valley… so just the opposite. It will look like the photo below.
