Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Card Base

Cut Old Olive cardstock to 10¾" × 5½". Score 1⅝" and 3¼" from each end. Fold outside lines as mountains and inside lines as valleys. Use a bone folder for crisp folds.

2. Right Panel

Cut Mossy Meadow (3⅛" × 4⅜"), Basic Beige (3" × 4¼"), and Painterly Pears DSP (2¾" × 4"). Layer and then add adhesive on the right side, but not more that about ¾" of adhesive. Attach to the right flap leaving about a ¼" border on the right.

Cut Mossy Meadow (3⅛" × 5⅛"), Basic Beige (2¾" × 4¼"), Painterly Pears DSP (2¾" × 4¾"). Die-cut the Branching Out shape from Basic Beige. Layer and attach to left flap, only along the left ¾" edge so it tucks behind the right panel.

5. Finish the Branching Out Label

Stamp “Hello Friend” in Mossy Meadow on the Branching Out die-cut. Add small dotted splatters with Basic Beige ink.

7. Attach the Focal Point

Adhere the completed Branching Out die-cut to the center of the left panel.

8. Inside of the Card

Add Painterly Pears DSP (1½" × 5¼") to the right inside panel. Center Mossy Meadow (3" × 4¼") inside the card. On Basic Beige (2¾" × 4"), stamp three small flower outlines in the bottom right corner and color centers with Darling Duckling. Adhere on top.

9. Envelope

Stamp either the single or double pear on the bottom left corner. Finish with coloring and details as on the card front.

This overlapping gatefold card is a stunning and interactive way to showcase your stamping skills. Layering, die-cutting, and two-step stamping give it a professional finish that friends and family will love. Try changing up your colors or Designer Series Paper to make each card uniquely yours!
