Tutorial on SCS - Gate Fold Card
Today’s tutorial on Splitcoast is another oldie, but goodie: Gate Fold Card. I used a stamp from the stamp set Butterfly Beauty from Unity Stamp Company.
s 
I promise to use Stampin’ Up! stamps again on my next card.
I have been a bit sidetracked since those Unity stamps are on my stamp table in a little wicker basket. They will go in big SU clear cases, as soon as I receive them. They are already ordered.
I am sorry to say that I forgot to write down which Copics I used.
The Wasabi panels were stamped with the Tea Time Pattern background in Chocolate Chip and the edges were sponged.
The main image was stamped in Brown Palette Ink on an Shimmery White oval cut with Oval Nestablities and layered on a Chocolate Scalloped oval that was created the same way.
Now…how I got those Unity Stamps early.
Nope, I am not on their design team. I am not on any design team. With being a single mother until the end of the year, working for SCS and the upkeep of this blog, I just can’t commit to something like that. Besides, I am first and formost still a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator who LOVES Stampin’ Up! products (I just don’t like the long summer lull of no new stamps!!!).
Splitcoast is introducing a new feature with today’s newsletter: Product Review.
Once a month a team of six stampers will review a product and tell you what they think about it. Our first product to review: Unity Stamp Companies great new Mounting system.
That’s how I got handles and some stamps before they are available! To check out the whole review team and what we thought about the product, click on product review.

This is amazing! The butterfly is so beautiful. I love the red of course. I used to do Gate folded cards all the time but haven’t for ages. I’ll have to get back to it.
Working on a card for your Inspiration Challenge, just can’t quite get part of it to work. Hope to do that tonight and post to SCS.
Keep up the fabulous work. We all really appreciate it.
Thanks and have a great day.

Fabulous card Beate! Just love the rich colours, and was thinking what brilliant backing paper - and then read that, of course, you had stamped it yourself.

It’s neat to see you branching out a bit and using non-SU! product.
I’m glad you got your hands on some Unity stamps. I’ve had my eye on this set, so it’s nice to see it in action. I just love the larger than life images! So pretty!

What an adorable card! I suffer the new stamp blues like you do in between catalogs! I am so looking forward to a new one! I just ordered the She’s All That set to try and hold me over! This is an adorable stamp! How fun for you! Reviewing all the new stuff is probably so much fun! Thanks for another great tutorial! I can’t wait to give this a try! Take care and have a great day!

What a gorgeous card! I just found out about Unity Stamps this morning, yet another place to go to drool over new images. Aahh. I can smell fresh rubber already! I’ll go check out the reviews. The mounting system looks very interesting, but I really like my Wood!

what a pretty, pretty card! i love the coloring w/ the copics. between you and Cambria i decided that i “needed” a set! i love how they blend and layer, but i have to say i am having trouble w/ the black ink that i stamp with smearing with my copics! i’ve tried brillance black graphite(heat gun to dry), whisper dye ink and even stazon! i used both whisper white and some special marker paper that i just got from michael’s. any help/tips are, of course, greatly appreciated! keep up the beautiful work! you’re an inspiration!
