Christmas Season Gatefold card with a Designer Paper twist; FB Live video!

October 25, 2021

We're making these pretty cards tonight on FB Live 'Stamp with Me'. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.

It's actually a gatefold card but the front panel is a piece of designer paper that leaves a reveal of the right edge of the card base which is textured.

For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog.

Or see it on my YouTube channel here on Tuesday.

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

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.
