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!

  • Happy 20th Stamp-aversary to me!


    It's been 20 years since I joined Stampin' Up! this month.  It's hard to imagine my life without the benefit of all of my friends, team members and customers. 

    Stampin' Up! has made an amazing difference in my life and my families.  I'm so blessed!  

    Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me.  I treasure each and every person I've met on this incredible journey.

  • Awesome Dance with Me fun fold card


    Look at this gorgeous fun fold card Karen made for our Sale-a-Bration Team swap this month!

    She used the Dance with Me stamp set and the Floral Delight designer paper.  I love the spotlight technique she did too!  You can see an example of it in the SAB catalog here.  This neat spotlight technique is done with masking paper and a blending brush. It's so easy! 

    This set is free through February with any $60 purchase.

    Her colors include Pool Party, White & Daffodil Delight.  She used the Stylish Shapes dies to create her window fun fold effect.  The greeting is from the Day to Celebrate stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

    I plan to create this fun fold next month but in the meantime here are her measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • White inside 8" X 5 " scored at 2", 3 1/2" & 5 1/2"
    • DSP front is 4" X 5 1/4", inside 1 1/4" X 4 3/4"
    • large circle die-cut is 3", white for the dancing couple is 2 1/2"

    I love this card!  Thanks for doing an awesome job Karen!
