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!

  • Cute Pick a Season & Spring Corners card


    We made these adorable cards at my Clubs in January.  The new Pick a Season Sale-a-Bration set is super fun!  

    You can add multiple items in the tree branches like hearts, flowers, eggs (Easter) or 4-leaf clovers.  Or use any other stamps you may have to customize your tree. The Pick a Season set is free with any $60 order through the end of February during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

    My colors are Melon Mambo with Granny Apple Green and a bit of Pecan Pie on the tree trunk. 

    I paired it with the Spring Corners stamp set seen here.  It is available in a bundle as well.  

    I love the multiple corner images and the sweet greetings in this set!

    *Below is the video for this card and another fun fold card using the Spring Corners set.  I'll share that tomorrow.

  • January Hearts for You alternative card idea


    Today I'm sharing an alternative project I made with the January Hearts for You Paper Pumpkin kit. 

    Everything you see here is in the kit. The only thing I added was a Real Red Blends marker that I used to change the color of the champagne foil heart to Red.  It's fun to experiment a bit!

    Below you'll see the 9 projects recommended in the kit.  They're gorgeous as is but I like to show alternative ideas just in case you want to get creative with the products.  It is really fun to change things up at times. 

    Once you're a Paper Pumpkin customer you can choose to get any of the extra refills or add on items. The refills do not include the stamps or ink spot but everything else!  And they're usually only $12. Wow!  See this one here

    Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin here.  Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here. 

    Sale-a-Bration is a fabulous time to get a pre-paid subscription since you can earn free SAB choices!  I do this every year at this time!

  • A unique fun fold card swap with Hugs for Love with Bloom Impressions


    Tracey made this stunning card for our January Team card swap.  I love her colors and layout so much! 

    Her card layout was inspired by Rachel Tessman and chose to use a Petunia Pop with Blackberry Bliss color combination. 

    She featured the Hugs for Love bundle and the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying purchase from Stampin' Up!  See this gorgeous paper here. 

    It's hard to tell in the photo above that it's a fancy fold card isn't it?  

    The right flap tucks under the diagonal Designer Paper and To the Point greeting punches.  

    The measurements for the card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1 1/4" (fold back) and 5 1/2".  Both front flaps are textured.  

    Below is the Hugs for Love bundle that includes the To the Point punch.  I love, love this punch so much!  *heads up; this punch is now in low inventory; grab it while you can! 

    There's another stamp set that coordinates with this fabulous punch too.  It's called Bright Borders.
