I am so excited about this diagonal trifold using the gorgeous Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper. I’ve used Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon colours, the latter is one I rarely use. The colours in the Masterfully Made DSP enabled me to get out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I did otherwise that ink pad will never see the light of day!
This is a view of the card when closed. The circle on the side is adhered to the middle panel so that you can tuck the small end panel into the right half of the circle when closed for posting. For display purposes, you can leave it free for extra stability.
Here’s a better view of the middle panel where the circle is adhered. In the photo on the left is a view of the reverse side where I’ve stamped on a Basic White panel and where you can address the recipient and say who it’s from.
