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!

  • All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video


    This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

    My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

    • All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
    • Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
    • Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
    • Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
    • 1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
    • Blending Brushes
    • a sanding block

    The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

    There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

    You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

    And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

    After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

    You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

    I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.
