✨ 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!

Be sure to watch my video for all of the tips on putting this card together.

One Sheet Wonder with the 2024-2026 In Colors

Hello stamping friends. I am back today sharing the cards we made in my May card class. I do an in-person class once a month and they usually make 3 different cards. For May I had a request to do a One Sheet Wonder so I used the 2024-2026 In Color designer paper and had them request a color with their RSVP. I did the die cutting for them to save on time and I show you in the video how I packaged them up. I also had two samples made up so that each table had a set of 4 to work off of. It ran really smooth and they were done with their cards in about 2 hours. I made a template for each stamper and asked them to bring their paper trimmers as they cut their own designer paper. I have that template for you as well.

I have the measurements for each card below along with a picture of four of the colors. I used Shy Shamrock, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop. (sorry Summer Splash, I didn't have an extra kit for this color).

I also have a link for all of the supplies below and a video to show you how I put the cards together.

Prized Peony meets Beautiful Autumn

Howdy stamping friends.  I have a new card for you today showcasing the Prized Peony and Beautiful Autumn stamp sets.  I sponged a piece of shimmery white paper with Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Soft Seafoam.  After I blended the colors together I wiped it off with a paper towel  I then stamped the peonies and leaves in versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  The Soft Seafoam layer is the new velveteen paper, embossed with the Ornate Floral folder.  See below for all the measurements, instructions and shopping list.

5. Wrap the 4½ piece of ribbon around all of the layers and adhere to back with glue dots.  Adhere these layers to card base.

8. For the inside stamp the smallest peony in Shaded Spruce, the sentiment in Pretty Peacock and the little square images in Soft Seafoam.

Honey Bee Buckle Card

Hello my stamping friends.  I have a cute buckle card to share with you today using products from the new 2020 Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

With the Classic Label punch we are going to make a vertical slot.  Push the punch all the way into the card front panel, lining the edge of the punch up with the edge of the designer series paper.  Slide the punch and line up with the opposite edge of the designer series paper and punch again.  Make sure you push the punch all the way in for both punches.
