I figured it was tutorial time and I was actually able to find some fresh tutorials to share. This one is from Starlight Designs and it’s a three in one bead. It’s like making three beads in one. You start with a dot bead and then add a bead on each side and cover each one with complex stringer. The beads then finished with a bit of stringer at the ends…voila! StartLight Designs is Debby Gwaltney. Thanks Debby!!

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.
