Here are my cards for the challenge inspiration. I used Cottage Circlet Mini TryFolds Stamp and Die set.

The Cottage Circlet Mini TryFolds Stamp and Die set is a fun set that you can create a tri-fold card by using three circular images and coordinating dies. There's also a kind instruction on how to use them in the package. 

The circular images are small which are around 2 inches so that they might be suitable for mini cards.

To begin my first card, I prepared 4x11inch 80 Neenah White paper and I scored two lines at with a width of 3 and 5/8 along the 11 inch side.  Next, I stamped images and cut out windows using coordinating dies according to the insert guide. I used copic markers for coloring. You can see how they look one by one with clockwise order in the above photo. To hide copic marker stain on the back of central card base, I simply adhered a piece of pattern paper on it. 

To embellish the outer surface, I stamped a sentiment from Showers and Flowers set, then I adhered mini leaves I made using Wreath Greetings Stamp and Coordinating Dies together with Ivory Twine Ribbon.

I thought my first card looks too simple although the making process was not that easy, so I decided to make another one in a different way. Here it is.

I stamped the three circular images together on the same panel, cut out windows using coordinating dies. The scenes were colored using copic markers and the background panel was ink blended using distress inks and then put behind the front panel by using foam tapes to give the card dimensional look. 

I didn't want empty spaces on the front panel so I stamped sentiments from Showers and Flowers set and Wreath Greetings Stamp set.

I finished off the card by adhereing the panels onto a card base I made using SSS Lemon Chiffon Card Stock. I didn't add sequins to maintain a clean look.

I really love how I could create two different styles of cards by using the TryFold Stamp and Dies set from Art Impressions. Isn't it so cool? ♡
