TUTORIAL - Fancy Fold - Gate Fold #2 using DSP, 3 cards from one sheet

Gate Fold Cards are a an easy and effective way to showcase DSP and make a card with a little different opening. We made 4 different folds at my class last weekend and I am posting the tutorials here over the next few days.

Yesterday I posted the measurements and tutorial for a basic Gate Fold. You can read that here.
This is a slightly different but equally easy version.
The feature panel on the front is held closed under the little keeper on the right, it just tucks under.







DSP GATE FOLD INSTRUCTIONS




  • The card base is 10.5cm x 14.7 cm - ie 1/4 of a standard A4 sheet of Cardstock. This provides stability and a coloured frame for your DSP
  • DSP 10cm wide x 28 cm long ( you will get 3 cards from one 12 x 12 sheet)
  • Score at 7 cm and 21 cm
  • Inside panel is 9.5cm x 13.5cm
  • Front panels any size but not wider than 8cm  - Stitched Rectangles work really well
  • Be careful when adhering front panel to only apply glue to half of the panel which is adhered to the left front flap
  • Keeper is 1" circle and 3/4" circle held up on a dimensional, optional


    • Here's a few other samples.
    You can see my Stitched Rectangles really got a workout.
    Here's another using the Painted  Seasons Bundle. How amazing is this beautiful paper?





    And I did this version a little while ago using the Needlepoint Nook suite.



    I also posted this card a few weeks ago here
    .


    Thanks for stopping by. I'll be posting a double gate fold card , a joy fold card and a Z fold card with instructions over the next few days.

    Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

    After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
