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.
