Now…on to the card…. I was so in love with these 7 Dots Studio Papers that I had a very hard time covering them with anything! I wanted to use as many of them as possible so I created a tri-fold card and used three different patterns from the Nature Walk Collection.
- The base card is SU! Basic Black Cardstock cut 6″ x 12″ and then scored at 4″ and 8″.
- The two interior panels have 5-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ pieces of 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk patterned paper adhered to them.
- The front panel is SU! Crumb Cake Cardstock cut to 5-7/8″ x 3-7/8″.
- A 5-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ piece of Add A Little Dazzle Dark Rich Chocolate Craft Metal Sheet was embossed using the TH French Script Texture Fade and the Big Shot. It was then adhered to a 5-5/8″ x 3-5/8″ piece of patterned paper.
- A piece of SU! Crumb Cake Seam Binding was adhered down the front of the card in the center of the craft metal and secured behind with Glue Dots.
- The “Tie a Bow Using Your Fingers Technique” (How to Video is HERE) was used to tie a triple bow which was adhered to the seam binding with Glue Dots. The “legs” of the ribbon were positioned and secured with Glue Dots as well.
- An Idea-ology charm was attached to the knot in the bow using a jump ring. It was colored using Gold Distress Paint.
- The word “Journey” from the TH Hashtag Stamp Set was inked in SU! Early Espresso Ink and embossed using Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. It was then punched with an Oval Punch and secured behind an Idea-ology Ornate Plate. The Ornate Plate was then attached to the card front using a Paper Piercing Tool and Brads.
- An Idea-ology Mini Corner was attached to the corner of the Crumb Cake layer and it was then attached to the card front.

Love your nature card with tri fun fold, great effect on metal!!!
Love how the embossed metal strip add such richness and elegance. Absolutely beautiful card.
I love this card! It is so beautiful and elegant! Thanks for sharing how to tie the bow. I’ve wanted to use a bow like this in the past but would end up with too much bulk in the middle.
These are gorgeous. I am very impressed. Great job.
