I love math! The equilateral triangle is an amazing shape. And if divided into four equal sections, it can be folded over onto itself to make a much smaller equilateral triangle. So I thought this smaller collapsed version would be perfect to add to a card base to create an amazing fun fold that opens with a wow factor.
After creating the card I searched YouTube to see if I could find any other similar fun fold cards. The only one I found was presented in a video by the Fold Factory released a couple months ago. It’s not a tutorial. And again I couldn’t find one. So hopefully what I share today will help you to create something that maybe you’ve never tried before.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for how to make a couple Triangular Cross Fold Cards with products from the beautiful Sun Prints Suite: Nature’s Prints Stamp Set, Natural Prints Dies, and Sun Prints Designer Paper. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel or tune into my events on my Facebook Page so you can get updates when I share and go live).

Welcome to the world of “time fairies”, a pandemic of little demons that take what you had moments ago and play with it for minutes or months. When they tire of it, the item will show up wherever they were when they tired of it…..they are alive and well in my craft room.
Hahahaha!!! Love it Betty! It showed up in my stamp case of all places. Had I just opened my case, right?
