It’s been a while since I’ve written about Kiln Pointers from Paragon Kilns. Sometimes it’s not the most exciting information but it is so very useful. Recently my crucible kiln for glass blowing couldn’t get up to temperature, so when I saw an article about kilns slowing down I had to check it out. And then share it here. I needed new heating elements, but this information is very helpful since a have a variety of kilns I use. Subscribe to Paragon’s newsletter so you can learn more about kilns and 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.
