I created two PDF cutting diagrams.  The card base PDF and the card layers PDF.

Sympathy Card - Cascade Tri Fold

So many sympathy cards have been made and sent.  Our family mourns the loss of our niece Jennifer. She was definitely loved by so many.  Tears still flow every day.  We didn't have enough time with her but we know she is in the arms of the Lord and her grandmother (my mom).

I was inspired to create this card by the many I found online when searching for fun fold cards.  I found this great YouTube video HERE but I modified measurements to better fit into a A2 envelope. I also added DSP to one side and the bottom of the teepee. The best way to figure this out is to do a template.  The bottom small pieces must be added before the squares are connected.

* Magnets were purchased HERE.
** Add your embleshments after you finish the card.  Keep in mind that you should make this adjustment AND how the card fits in the envelope.
