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

    Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

    Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu

    CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

    Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
