Triple Square Side Card

February 26, 2025 Leave a Comment

26 Feb
Triple Square Side Card in shades of yellow and orange. Solid Very Vanilla card base with patterns of oranges in small squares align the right edge. Bright Coastal Cabana greeting is popped up on front along with a dark orange linen thread bow with long tails.

Today I’m excited to share a cheerful “Feel Better Soon” card that’s perfect for brightening someone’s day! This Triple Square Side card design not only creates a unique fold that stands out from traditional cards, but it’s also an excellent way to put those 6×6 patterned paper pads to good use. I’ve created this sunny design using vibrant yellows and oranges with a refreshing citrus theme that’s guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone feeling under the weather. Let’s get started!

Cutting & Scoring Guide for Triple Square Side Card

step by step instructions for triple square side card

Open Very Vanilla card base, place in trimmer with right edge at the 1¼” mark. Position the cutting blade at the bottom and slice up to the center score line, creating a flap. Remove the flap.

Adhere the largest Lemon Lolly piece inside the card base. Add the large bold patterned paper to the inside right. Then adhere the Very Vanilla liner to the inside left.

Adhere the remaining Lemon Lolly cardstock to the front left. Adhere the small quiet patterned paper towards the front left.

Using the 2nd smallest Stylish Shapes square die, cut three squares from the scrap of the focal point patterned paper. Apply dimensionals to the back of each square and pop up on the Very Vanilla squares. Apply liquid glue to the back left side of each square and position on the front flap from top to bottom. TIP: Align the top and bottom squares first, then align the middle square last.

Diecut the greeting ‘Feel Better Soon’ from the Wanted to Say dies with the Coastal Cabana scrap backed with an adhesive sheet. Cut the shadows from Very Vanilla. Layer together and pop up on dimensionals.

Tie a large fluffy bow with long tails from a length of Cajun Craze Natural Tones Linen Thread and adhere with a rolled up glue dot.
