OK I GIVE UP!!!!!

[smitty2004]

i have looked at every thread, stared at all the visual directions, and i cannnot for the life of me understand where to cut!
nope not getting it at all. can't find simple directions that show the cuts in relation to the scoring.

anyone out there having the same learning problems?

Which card...? Do you have a link?

[bb&kk]

Could you be more specific about what kind of card? I am sure someone here can help.

[smitty2004]

DUH! sorry, i am talking about the trifold card

[smithr66]

There are several tri-fold cards under Resources. Is it one of those?

the trifold pocket card?? erm I'm so cornfused.. dontcha know i'm easily cornfused on sundays??!

I have that same learning curve! What I do it a mock up on printer paper (and usually one out of the trash) to see if I can do it.

I would be glad to help but I don't know which trifold you are tying to do.

[KristaTracy]

Are you talking about the Tri Shutter? You can search on samples with TLC221, and here are some good instructions:

That is the one that first popped into my mind! It looks like you cut from fold to fold. I haven't done this one yet but I have it bookmarked. I love this card!

[Sharpstamper]

If it's the trifold card you score as directed and then flip the card sideways and cut from the first to the last cut on either side (cut from the 2" to the 10".) Try it on scrap paper first. I love these cards.

So Jan, did you ever get it to work for you?

[mtgchic]

Maybe this'll help?

[postcardgirl]

I totally understand - I'm the same way. Thankfully my DH is always good and figuring it out on scrap paper then helping me!! Good luck!

[smitty2004]

I had seen some of these cards in the gallery and loved them but it looked too difficult so I hadn't even attempted it myself. Thanks to you ladies...I finally had to try one and it really was NOT difficult. It's Sunday so I can't post it to SCS...but here is a link to where I've stored it on my blog:

Thanks for the inspiration! I'll definately do more of these in the future.
