interlocking gate fold

Today is the last day for the Seasonal Sale so if you need or want any colors of cardstock, inks or have been wishing for a special die set today is the day! Or tell you husband to call me so we can get you those supplies as a “surprise” Christmas gift – just send me a list before he calls!! LOL The Seasonal Sale is 10% off Cardstock, 15% off inks and 20% off dies.

Today’s tutorial is another gate fold the base is similar to Monday’s card but this card has two opposing “arms” attached to the card to help open up the gates on this fold. It is a fun alternative gatefold card.

Measurements:

Misty Moonlight bas: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ and fold the other end in to meet the edge in the card center.
Balmy Blue: (2) 2″ x 5 3/8″
Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the inside

Side Flaps:
Misty Moonlight: (2) 1 5/8″ x 4″
Basic White (2) 1 1/2″ x 3 7/8″

Cut the side flaps and I die cut the snowflake “cookie” from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set in the Blue Glitter Ombre paper x2 for the card front embellishments.
Stamp the sentiment on the top flap and stamp the snowflake in Balmy Blue (second generation over the sentiment and full strength on the bottom flap.

Stamp the Balmy Blue front panels with Balmy Blue ink and the snowflakes from the Sparkle of the season stamp set. Adhere to the front panels.

Adhere the flaps after stamping the background images and the sentiment.

Pop up the snowflakes from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set – the solid snowflake cookie die in the blue piece of Glitter Ombre paper and the “frosting” part of the snowflake die in Basic White. Adhere with Tombo glue and allow to dry before placing on the card.

Add Rhinestone for some bling on the card front and ! How about you!

I hope that you are able to get a little crafting done today – take time to do a little something you love and go out and creat some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
