Tri-fold card with Everyday Arches dies

 I love a good fun fold that's simple and has a big wow factor. This tri-fold card is one of my favorites. I saw a tri-fold card with the Everyday Arches Dies by Stampin' Up!® on Tami White's facebook page and wanted to try it out. Here's my version. 

What you'll need to construct this card:

• 3 of the largest arch dies
• 3 of the 3rd largest arch dies
• 3 of the 4th largest arch dies
• cardstock hinges or scored piece of cardstock to connect your arch panels. *I discuss different options in my video. I used several sizes. You can use 3" x 2" cardstock pieces scored at 1" on the short side or a bigger piece of cardstock 2 1/2" x 11" scored at 3 1/2" from each end. 

I used some new 2025-27 in-colors too. Secret Sea, Cloud Cover and Timid Tiger make an awesome color combo. Don't you agree? I love blues with orange. The floral image from Layers of Beauty stamp set adds a wonderful design for my Basic White panels. It really fills the space and with the coordinating masks, you can add color right where it needs to go.  This is the card that I made on my Facebook live Coffee and a Card used the color combo of Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Timid Tiger, Peach Pie, Old Olive and Gray Granite. The floral image is stamped on the arched panels with Gray Granite after I stamped off once first. Then I used the coordinating masks to add color to the flowers and leaves. 

I used the classic ink pads and small blending brushes to apply the ink in this order:

1. Mask 1: Peach Pie ink for the roses. I covered the daisy flowers with post-it masking tape. 
2. Mask 2: Peach Pie ink for the roses. I covered the daisy flowers with post-it masking tape. 
3. Mask 3: Timid Tiger ink for the roses. I covered the flower middles with post-it masking tape.
4. Mask 4: Old Olive ink for the leaves.
5. Mask 5: Old Olive ink for the leaf details. 
6. Color flower middles with Cloud Cover Stampin' Write marker 

The arched front panel is mostly covered with the floral image. I stamped the greeting in Secret Sea ink. The middle arched panel has room at the top for another greeting or phrase stamped in Secret Sea ink. The back arched panel just has the floral image on the corner leaving room to write a short message. If you'd like to have a private space or more space for a message, you could add another arch die cut to the back of the 3rd panel. 

Have fun using different stamps or designer series papers to fill. your arched panels. 

Here's another version I made with blues using Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight and Secret Sea.

Note: You can try this with other dies. If you want a connector piece that is a full strip of cardstock, you can find the scoring dimensions by measuring your die cut. Then the section of the connector that holds the middle die cut needs to fit between your two score lines. For example, the largest arch die measures just shy of 4". So my score lines for a 2 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock are 3 1/2" and 7 1/2. If you just want hinges, just use a 3" x 2" piece of cardstock scored in half. The hinge works for most other shaped die cuts and you can adjust it to fit your shape. 

Thanks for stopping by! Give this fun fold a try and let me know if the comments what stamps you used.
