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!

  • Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

    This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

    First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

    March Deloris Save

    She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

    Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

    March Ginny Save

    She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

    Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

    March Kim Save

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

    Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

    March Candy Save

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

    Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

    More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

    My card base is Melon Mambo with Black, White & Garden Green accents. The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    I made a second version during the video (seen here) in different colors.

    The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here.  I love these!  I bet they'll sell fast!

    I fussy cut extra flowers to pop up over the printed flower in the DSP.

    Here's the template for the DSP part of this card.  My generous friend Susie Wood shared this with me.

    In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides.  Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines.  Watch the video below to understand this.

  • Pretty Center pop-out fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I'm so excited to share this super neat fun fold card with you today!  It's called a Center Pop-out fun fold.  I found this neat fold from my friend Terri Gaines. 

    Thankful Garden Melon Save

    I chose to feature the Thankful Garden bundle seen here and the Lovely Garden Designer paper seen here. 

    THANKFUL GARDEN BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I love these stencils!  They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

    This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple.  It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below. 

    Thankful Garden Melon Save

    My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel:

    I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.

    I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.
