So a gate fold card is a card scored 1/4 of the way in from the sides of the card on both sides and folded to meet in the middle – I have done these cards in the past but this is a fun variation of the gate fold. This card has a n extra piece that folds over and hides the gate fold so it is a surprise when you open up the top flap!
Measurements:
BASE: Daffodil Delight 8 1/2″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″ on the 11″ side
scored at 2 1/8″ on each of the 11″ sides
Inserts on gate fold :
Basic White (2) 2″ x 5 1/4″
Front flap: Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″
Inside Base: Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″
Using the Paper Trimmer cut along both 2 1/8″ score lines down to the 5 1/2″ score line. Turn the paper 180 degrees and cut from the outside of the paper to the 4 1/4″ score line to detach the outside top rectangles from the base card.
Trim the top edges so the top flap will be able to close over the hidden gate folds.
Burnish the score lines with a bone folder.
Stamp and color the inside layer and adhere.
Stamp, color and adhere the gate fold layers to the gate folds
Stamp color and adhere the front flap layer.
Adhere embellishments.
A fun and easy twist on the classic Gate fold card. Hope this inspires you to create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
