Multi-Fold Card For Any Occasion Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hello to everyone who reads this blog post.  I am happy to be able to show you another creation of mine using the Cricut Artiste Cartridge.  I completed this about a month ago before vacation; but haven't had time to do the post for it.  I struggled with making this card.  I saw this several months ago and really wanted to try it; but it was harder than I thought it would be.  Try it for fun the first time with paper that you don't mind practicing with. 
 
I found the tutorial for this card posted by Marianne at http://stampartic.blogspot.com/2010/11/folding-card-tutorial.html.  It can be used for any occasion.  I plan to try it again sometime when I have more time.  I hope you enjoy this card.  I had a challenge with the heart border on the outside as it tore very easily.  I purchased a couple others to try for the next time.  Scroll down for a copy of the two from the tutorial.  I think they look so elegant.

I left the middle blank as I haven't decided what to use for the sentiment yet.

    1. Hi Jules, Thank you for your wonderful compliment. It was a complicated card; but I am sure would be easier the second time around. I was trying to do something outside my comfort zone. You have to change the language to English and I had to make more sets than it actually called for in the triangles. It is easier to use several different patterns of paper. I will try it a little differently on my next one. The paper needs to be thinner because of the layering in order to make it lay down. I would love to see it when you get it done. Good luck Jules. Have a fabulous week!! Hugs, Gloria

    1. Thank you Carol for your compliment. It was a challenge; but I wanted to try something outside the normal. It was fun. I made it for my mother; but then decided to keep it until I do it again. I do better with a visual in front of me. :) I appreciate you stopping by my blog. Have a terrific week!! Hugs, Gloria
