Fancy Gate Fold Card

 Here are two views of the Fancy Gate Fold card we made on our Zoom class recently. It’s a beautiful card that opens slightly differently so that your card has a more unique feel to it! The one on the left used  Peony Garden patterned papers and the Tasteful Touches stamp set and dies. The card on the right is showing a different Peony Garden and the stamps are from the Life Is Beautiful stamp set- one of my current “go to” sets! Well, let’s get started making some cards!

Start by cutting your papers to the following sizes:

Card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score it at 2 3/4″ from one end. Then turn it around and score the other end at 2 3/4″ as well. Fold each end toward the center. They should just meet.
Rectangle 3″ x 4″, (I used the largest stitched so sweetly scalloped die.)
Whisper White (2) 5  1/4″ x 4″ AND 3  5/8″ x 2  1/2″
Patterned Paper for front: 3  3/4″ x 3″
Patterned Paper for inside flap 4″ x 2  1/2″ (Could be the same patterned paper as the other piece)

Ribbon
Dimensionals
Adhesive and Stamps/Inks

Next watch this quick video that shows you how to assemble the card. . 

​Here is my finished card from that video!

I really love this layout! It’s so much fun and I think it’s got just the right amount of white space to decorate!  I used the Gather Together Bundle for the stamping and die cutting.

I also made a Christmas card. For this one I used the trees from Rooted in Nature and a sentiment from Itty Bitty Christmas!

Now, go pick out some pretty papers and a stamp set! You are ready to make a  beautiful card!
