Tri Shutter Album Tutorial

Hello Friends ,
This is Mallika from Aola Handmade Cards , again with a post as part of the DT for Crafters Corner .
In this post I will be teaching you , how to make a Tri shutter Album .
I was always fascinated to make a mini album , and somehow this time I took out time to make mine .
This is what you will create . It opens up . It is a perfect valentines gift
As the picture says , It requires two tri fold cards .
I will be teaching you step by step on how to make this .

Things you will need -
Tonic Trimmer 
Martha Score Board 
Atg Glue Glider 
Tim holtz Hanging sign Die 
Mulberry flowers 
Distress inks - I have used Gathered twigs { The new distress ink of my godfather Tim Holtz }
Magnolia Tilda Stamps - I have used Classic Bridal Couple 
Cherry lynn dies - Butterflies and Magic Mirror .
Assorted stamps






Step 1 -
Cut your cardstocks
2 pc of 6 by 12 inches
2 pc of 6 by 6 inches
1 pc of 6 by 8 inches .


Step 2 -
Take your distress inks and distress the edges .


Step 3 -
We will now make two tri shutters
Now take the 6 by 12 inches pc of Cardstock  . Align the longer side with the score board and Score it at
2 , 4 , 8 , 10 inches . Do this to other 6 by 12 inches of cardstock too .



Step 4 -
Now take 6 by 12 cardstock . Rotate it diagonally . From 1 3/4 inches cut down a line from first score line to last scoreline . Rotate the cardstock by 180 degrees and do the same .
Apply the above step to both the pcs .

Step 5 - 
Now start making alternate folds . One mountain and one valley . The picture will explain better . 

Step 6 -
We have to now allign them together and stick to the 6 by 8 inches of cardstock . 
But before sticking attach a ribbon to the 6 by 8 inches centre . 




Step 7 - 
Now take the two 6 by 6 inches of cardstock . Score them at 2 inches . 
Now we will attach a flap to front . 



Step 8 - 
You will have a composition something like this . 


Step 9 - 
Now embellish it to your consent .
