Tuscan TF Set by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
I am sharing a couple of cards made with one of the Art Impressions 2015 Try-fold sets: Tuscan TF Set (Sku #4580):
I remember the first time that I was making a Try-fold card, thinking how difficult it was going to be (NOT!) and now they're one of my favourite cards to make.  The cutting & stamping instructions are all included with the packaging.

 I often give wine as a gift, so was thrilled when Ai came out with this set!  The inside sentiment says "Wishing you everything under the Tuscan sun"
Try-fold stamps are so versatile, in that each of the three image stamps can be used individually.  I stamped and die cut just the villa image to make an all occasion card below:
 Have you entered our Card Set challenge yet?  You've still got plenty of time - we'd love to see what you come up with!  Happy stamping!

I love this card. I have a question for you....how did you get the tan coordinating color on the inside when you open the sides? This really finishes this card.

Hi Linda! I've always lined the inside of my try-folds with white cardstock, as the Copics bleed through a bit - Kate, our DT coordinator gave us the idea to use a patterned paper which makes a nice surprise when you open it up. This is simply a piece of paper glued onto the backside, before I trimmed the upper edge. Hope that helps!
