Birthday Fun - Tri-Shutter Fold Card

My theme for June's Stamp Camp was birthdays. The second card we made was a Tri-shutter Fold Card. It looks complicated but it's not! The hardest part is folding, but it's not that hard.
You start with a 5½" x 11" piece of cardstock (here Chocolate Chip). It is scored at 2", 4", 8" & 10". You then turn the card-stock and cut between the 2" & 10" scored lines. You are now ready to fold (the second example shows the fold lines) and then to decorate the card. I used stamps from 2 stamp sets "Party Hearty" and "Crazy for Cupcakes". I stamped them all onto Baja Breeze Cardstock with Chocolate Chip ink.

We added a piece of Baja Breeze Cardstock on the back of the outside two panels to have a place to write the birthday greeting and to have a place for a signature. This is so much fun to make and I'm sure the receiver will also enjoy this card.
