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!

  • Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps

    We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards.  This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme.  Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.  

    The first is made by Tracey.  She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in.  It's beautiful stamped in one color!  See this stamp set here. 

    Aug Tracey Feels Like Home Save

    It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card  including the torn edges.  

    Details:

    • Stacked Stone background stamp
    • One ink – Cinnamon Cider
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
    • Champagne rhinestones

    Feels Like Home Save

    This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.  

    Feels Like Home swap Save

    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers.  It adds that fun pop of color.  It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.  

    Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

    I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left.  I do love Black & White paper!

    This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  You can see it here.

  • Delicate Dahlias & Very Versailles

    Look at this pretty, multi-layered card made by Roxann. She used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and the Very Versailles. 

    Aug Tracey Feels Like Home Save

    Her colors are Pale Papaya, Vanilla & Black.  She stamped the Dahlia twice; once on the large Vanilla and again on a scrap to fussy cut.  It's a 2-step stamp set with a DistINKtive look. What is DistINKtive mean?  It's a process Stampin' Up! created that gives a multi-toned look with just one ink color.  

    Look at the detail and multiple hues on these stamps!

  • 3 techniques for the Delicate Dahlia’s stamp set with video

    I featured the Delicate Dahlia's stamp set on Tuesday's FB Live.  This stamp set is free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion happening now.  See it here. There are three pretty cards using different techniques on each. 

    Delicate Dahlias Save

    This first technique is called Watercolor Ink Spread. The colors are Magenta Madness & Mango Melody.  I was going for bright & happy colors,

    Delicate Dahlias Ink spread technique Save

    This technique involves heat embossing an outline image and adding water & ink.  It is recommended to use watercolor paper but it worked fairly well on our Basic White.  However for larger petals or leaves I suggest you use our watercolor paper. Check out the video below for tips.

    This next set of cards is basic 2-step stamping.  In the video I share a helpful tip on lining up two step stamps.  The Stamparatus can be best for most applications but I was stamping all over the panels and did not use it.

    All of the images are in this beautiful stamp set. The colors on the left card are Coastal Cabana, Black, White & Vellum.  The right is Basic Bray, White, Bumblebee & Vellum. 

    I did use our Black glittered ribbon on both.  I did heat emboss a flower on vellum and fussy cut it. It's colored with Blends markers.

    And here is the video; I hope you enjoy watching it to get tips on these two sets of cards plus one more on Poppin' Pastels!
