✨ Double Angled Gatefold Card Tutorial ✨

Today’s card is a fun fold—it's a double angled gatefold card. We’ll be using the Fern and Flora Bundle along with the Moonlight Flora Designer Series Paper.

Card Base

Start with Soft Sea Foam cardstock cut to 11" x 5 1/2".
Score at 3 3/8" from each end.

Next, on each end:

• From the top right and top left corners, measure down 1 1/2" and make a mark.

• From the bottom left and bottom right corners, measure in 1" and make a mark.

Now for the cuts:

• Cut from the right score line to the 1 1/2" mark.

• Then cut from the 1 1/2" mark down to the 1" mark.

• Repeat the same steps on the left side.

Additional Cardstock Pieces

• Soft Sea Foam: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

• Soft Sea Foam (belly band): 9 1/2" x 1 1/2"

• Old Olive: 4" x 5 1/4"

• Basic White (label): 1 1/4" x 2 1/2"

• Peaceful Pine: 1 1/2" x 3" (for a fern die cut)

• Old Olive: 1 1/2" x 4" (for a second fern)

• Berry Burst: 1" x 2 1/2" (for the fiddlehead)

Designer Series Paper

• 4" x 1 1/4" (for the belly band)

• Two pieces at 3 1/8" x 5 1/4"

For the angled cuts:

• On one piece (left panel):

  • Measure down 1 1/2" from the top left edge.

  • Measure in 1" from the bottom left corner.

  • Cut to match the angle of the card base.

• On the second piece (right panel):

  • Measure down 1 1/2" from the top right edge.

  • Measure in 1" from the bottom right corner.

  • Cut to match the card base.

Adhere these pieces to the front panels.

Tip: Be sure to save all the triangle pieces from your Designer Series Paper—we’ll use them to decorate the inside of the card!
