If you would like to see some step by step pictures on how to make this card, click on more.
Supplies:
- 4 ¼” x 8 ½” piece of cardstock for card base (Blue Bayou)
- Two 2 1/8” x 4” pieces of coordinating cardstock (Soft Sky)
- Cardstock for center image (my sizes 2 ¼” River Rock and 2 ½” Blue Baqou squares)
- Stamps (Baroque Motifs)
- Ink (Blue Bayou, Soft Sky and River Rock)
- Adhesive
- Paper cutter with scoring tool
Step one:
Score your 4 ¼” x 8 ½” piece of cardstock at 2 1/8” and 6 3/8”.
Step two:
Decorate the inside of your cardstock.
Step three:
Decorate both of your 2 1/8” x 4” strips of coordinating cardstock and adhere to the outer panels of the card front.
Step four: Create Center image.
Step five:
Add tape on one half back of the center image.
Step six: Adhere your main image over the center of your card.
Add a little accent, overlapping your main image a bit on the side that is not adhered. Slide main image under to keep the card closed.
Variations:
You can make these Gatefolds any size you like. To figure out the size of the outer panels, use this formula:
Width of cardstock divided by 2 = width of card back
Width of card back divided by 2 = width of front panel
Always score the long side of your cardstock on width of panel, then flip cardstock over and repeat on opposite side.
