Surprise Narrow Trifold – Papercrafting Playdate 123

Ready to love a super easy fun fold? I have named this one the Surprise Narrow Trifold card. It is a surprise because it looks and feels like a basic invitation-sized card but opens to reveal a narrow fold out. It’s brilliant! I found the inspiration for this fun fold from Susan Campfield who shared a card sent to her by Caryn Schultz. You can see Susan’s video tutorial here. Wait until you see all the ways to use this lovely fun fold.

Here’s Your Homework 😉

4. Attach the two pieces of 5-1/4” x 3” DSP on the inside of the card base where it folds out.

Horizontal Easel Version of the Narrow Trifold

• Assemble the card exactly the same orienting the DSP accordingly.
• Add a popped up, small die-cut/punched greeting or accent to the edge of the fold-out section of the inside as a “stopper” for the card front to rest against while on display.
