I modified another fun fold card and made a new one where the gate fold edges “kiss” the edges of the front flap instead of each other! I made a belly band to hold the card closed and made the square overlap to look like a Christmas present! I called it the Double Flap Kissing Gate Fold card! Hope you like it!

Emboss the 5 1/2″ side and adhere the 1/2″ tab to the center top of the base card.
I closed the two side gate folds and made sure the front flap fit within those side gate folds.

Adhere an inside layer to cover up the flap connection. Adhere a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White CS to the inside of the base CS. Pictured here under the front flap.
Stamp the sentiment on the inside 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece.
Adhere the DSP 2 3/8″ piece to the Basic White 2 1/2″ square matte. Adhere ONLY the right side to the right gate fold.
Create the belly band from a 3/4″ x 10″ piece of cardstock and I added a offset square focal point to look like stacked presents on the card.
Adhere the 1 1/2″ square DSP to the 1 3/4″ square of Real Red CS and adhere to the belly band so it will lie over the side flap.
Add a bow of Linen thread to the DSP square and Iridescent Rhinestone Gems to finish off this fun fold card!
