Nothing’s Better Than fun fold card with video!

We made this CUTE card at my August Card Clubs with the Nothing's Better Than bundle seen here.  

Save

It's a triple flap gate-fold card!  It's super easy to make and fun to open too.  Check out the measurements AND the video below. Be sure to read the front AND the inside below. This stamp set is just plain FUN! 

I chose to use Early Espresso with Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry. To get a lighter hue for the chocolate and cookies images I stamped off the Early Espresso ink first.  Is it just me or do some of these images remind you of the Jetsons cartoon show?

Measurements:

– Early Espresso 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end

– Whisper White 1 1/2" X 3 3/4" (3 pieces) plus scraps for added die-cut images

– Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry 1 5/8" X 3 7/8" (3 total pieces)

• Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial

  October 12, 2021

  ---

  I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live.  They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

  Save

  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) 

   

  Save

  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.

  Save

  I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.  

  Save

  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. 

  Save

  I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different! 

  You can see this video here; click on this photo below to watch.
