This card was done using the Triore Folding technique. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is a lot like Iris Folding, except all of your folds are in the shape of a triangle. There are many patterns you can use. This card is a pattern that was created by Dorothea Stone, a very good friend of mine who passed away recently. She made her own patterns and used to teach classes at one of our local stamp stores. What I loved about this pattern is that she used one of Spellbinder's die cuts, and since I have that die cut, I can put it wherever I want to on the card. All of the papers used on this card were from one of Dorothea's kits. I used a corner punch to add a bit of interest and then stamped the sentiment from Gina K. Design's Follow Your Dreams set. I added the extra metal dragonfly and a bit of bling to make it pop. This card has four layers.
Beautiful Susan! Very fascinating.
ReplyDeleteLove your paper folding! Gorgeous colors!
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning and the technique you mentioned is new to me. Next stop Youtube to see if I can find a tutorial on how to do it. TFS
ReplyDeleteI've searched everywhere and can't find any tutorials on Triore Folding technique. Can you suggest a site?
ReplyDeleteLove your card, have done iris folding, but not yet tried Triore, will do so soon as I have some patterns.
ReplyDeleteWow Susan! I'm so sorry you lost such a dear friend. Sounds like you learned quite a few techniques from her ♥ I have never heard of this fold, it looks supremely complicated. It will be an incredible submission to STV challenge!!! Blessings to you and to yours~
