Triple Point Card.

T
is for 
TRIPLE POINT CARD




This is the finished card.
The instructions below are for the Triple Point element only and not the whole card design.


1.  Cut cardstock 5.5" x 11". Score on the long side at 5.5" to make a square card.


2.  With fold of card to top measure the half way point along the bottom edge and mark with a pencil.  

3.  Then draw a line from this centre point to the top outside edges left and right. 

4. Now cut the triangles away from each side (from the top card only)  and keep. 


5. Using design paper of your choice cut a piece ( i.e 5.25" x 5.25") to fit slightly smaller than the card base and attach using wet glue or double sided tape. 

6. Using a contrasting  design paper cut another piece measuring 5.25" x 5.25"  and again mark the centre  point at the bottom. Then draw lines from this point up to the outside edges as you did on the base card.  Attach this design paper to the V point and the two triangles (that you have already cut away from the front of card). 


Your card should now look like this. 

7. Take one of the triangle points and position on the front of the card as below  so that their is a wide point at the base and the opposite corner is just touching the outside edge of the card. The thin point should be at the top as shown.


8. Turn card carefully over and mark a pencil line where the two cards cross over.


9. Only attach tape up to this mark as shown here.


10. Now attach to front of card. 

11. Repeat with other triangle  to complete your card. 

12.Decorate as required to finish your card.
