Gatefold cards are nothing new for card-makers, and we've probably all made quite a few of them. They're just so fun . . . to make and receive. The card that I'm sharing today features the lovely "Meandering Meadows" designer paper, white and Night of Navy cardstock, and a band of pretty daisies. Below is what the card looks like with the band removed:
And below is a better photo of the band with daisies:
I used a bone folder to slightly curve the petals and then layered two of the punched daisies together. The center of the flowers was brushed with Wink of Stella.
The inside panels of the card were also decorated with designer paper, and a vellum panel was added to the center section so that a message could be written there.
Isn't the designer paper so pretty?!?! I thought about placing a smaller piece of white cardstock (before deciding on the vellum) to the center section, but I really didn't want to interrupt the scenery that was going on. After taking the photos for this post, I decided that the paper strip along the top of the vellum looked a bit plain, so I added some die-cut clouds. Looks much better, huh?
In case you'd like to make a double gatefold card like this one . . . begin with a 5-1/2" x 12" piece of cardstock. Score it at 1-3/4", 3-7/8", 8-1/8", and 10-1/4". Or, if you want to just remember the first two measurements, you can score at 1-3/4" and 3-7/8", flip the cardstock and score again at 1-3/4" and 3-7/8".
Have a stampin' good day!
