This is the tree fold card we did at our club night last thursday. Everyone used Stampin' Up! Designer Series Holiday Thyme paper and using some complicated folds, created a tree fold card. Thank you Kerry, my upline, for this great idea.
These are the instructions as given to me by Kerry. There are four squares of the designer series paper, and a small piece for the trunk. The sizes are 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", and 3 1/2". Using your bone folder fold the square in half into a rectangle both ways so you have what looks like 4 squares. Then fold into a triangle both ways - so it is folded in half both ways. It has now been folded in half every which way it can be folded in half. Then fold back into a rectangle - holding the paper with the fold on top, push in the sides to make a triangle. Take the two corners from the top triangle and fold them to the center fold until they meet at the crease line...then layer them on cardstock to create a tree.
Have fun!

P.S. Thank you Kerry for the wonderful idea for this card, great instructions, and layout! Everyone enjoyed making this card. I think they are looking forward to wowing their friends and family.
