I love getting my email newsletter from fusedglass.org because I always know it will be something extremely useful for both me and all of my glass enthusiast readers. And this tutorial that’s being provided is no different. Today we’re learning more about firing schedules. Now if you’re a fuser this is some of the most important information you can use. If something goes wrong your piece is ruined…or at least in a state that needs fixin’. That costs time and money and we know that both are a bit harder to come by these days. With the tips that are presented in this tutorial you can hopefully produce work that is spectacular and will bring you much satisfaction and perhaps even a good financial return. This is important stuff!!

How to Make a Tri-Fold Spring Bird Card
Add some interest to your card making with a tri-fold design. A tri-fold card has three sections that overlap in a zig zag to create dimension and a little extra interactive element to the design instead of a traditional single fold card. Ilina used new stamps and dies from Hero Arts to create her Tri-fold Spring Birds Card.
The bottom layer of her design is the first flap and it’s got die cut grass, purple flowers and the heat embossed white sentiment, the next layer has different pink flowers and the two birds sitting on a hill, the last layer is the inside of the card with a hedge of greenery where you can add a hand written or stamped sentiment inside. She used markers to add additional color to her images. You can watch her video tutorial over on the Hero Arts blog.
