Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial


I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live.  They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

These first two cards feature the Painted Christmas designer paper, the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set & Seasonal Label dies. The large greeting die-cut was cut smaller by cutting once and reinserting it to trim off a bit. (shared in the video) 

 

On this card I added dimensionals to only the very left side of the greeting so it could work as a 'latch'.  The right side flap slips between the left side and the die-cut greeting to keep the card closed flat.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.  

One important thing to note about the template below for the DSP layer is to be sure to check the direction & side you prefer before trimming off the angles.  You can use this template for both sides; just trim off the opposite edge. 

I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different!

  • Great way to use the Extraordinary Washi Tape with video


    We made this beautiful card at my February card clubs. It features the Extraordinary Washi Tape from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

    Aren’t they pretty? And because the washi tape includes two color combinations (all in one roll) I was able to offer two choices of colors. You can see this pretty Washi tape here.

    It also has a stamp & die bundle that matches it perfectly. I used only the single die seen here. What I love about this die is it cuts out all of one huge panel of flowers/leaves all at once! It’s a most amazing product, (well named) and incredible that you get 16 gorgeous flowers cut all at once!

    That neat embossing folder on the large Vanilla is called Beautiful Pattern and can be seen here.

    My colors include Old Olive and Very Vanilla, plus Calypso Coral with Petal Pink and Berry Burst with Fresh Freesia. We wrapped Old Olive twine around the Vanilla layer twice and tied it into a bow to anchor the flowers & greeting.

    The other bundle I used is the Words of Beauty seen here. So many possibilities for greetings in this one.

    A few other dies used here are theTextured Notes dies seen here (which are retiring but unavailable right now) and the Label Me Grateful dies which just retired.

    I also used the ‘With You in Mind’ stamp set for the inside: A thin 1/4″ strip of matching CS finished it off nicely.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

    I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on using these products and finishing the card. Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there!
