Besides being 2-22-22 Tuesday, it’s the Pals Fun Folds February Blog Hop! You’ll find a pictured list at the bottom, so you can to see all of our fun folds designs. I chose to show you a simple, gate fold design, which was the first I learned, and remains a favorite. Since I have the perfect Horizon Dies, why not create an actual gate on my gate fold card?

The supplies I used for today’s card are in my Product List below.

Gate Fold with a gate

To make the card base, you cut 8 1/2″ X 11″ cardstock (I used Evening Evergreen) in half at 4 1/4″. Then, score each end at 2 3/4″, and fold to the middle. That’s it! 

Now, all you need to do is decorate. I used the gorgeous, New Horizons Designer Paper, cutting two front pieces at 2 1/2″ X 4″, and the inside at 5 1/4″ X 4″, from two pieces of 6″ X 6″ DSP in the same pattern. With the leftovers, I cut the labels for the sentiments, the clouds, and the grass. 

The sentiments are from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, stamped in Gorgeous Grape Ink. While I was using the ink, I stamped the birds from the On The Horizon Stamp Set. Do you see them on the inside?

“Always Remember” was cut with a Floral Gallery Die, and “Life is better with a friend like you” was cut with an Ornate Layers Die.

The highlight of this card, the fence, was cut from In Good Taste Designer Paper, making it look like wood. After layering the fence for thickness, I glued the grass along the bottom, and tucked the fence behind the top of the blades. Then, I attached the clouds and sentiment with Dimensionals, and my gate fold card, with a gate, was complete.

Just type the current host code (found beneath my profile picture) in the box provided, on your order of $75.00 or more, and I will send you the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks in March.

Create textured and colored backgrounds with Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. These stencils are an easy way to blend colors on your cards and other paper crafting projects. You can use the background masks on their own. But your images will really pop when you layer the detailed masks over the backgrounds to get even more depth and dimension. Use with Classic Stampin’ Ink and coloring tools such as Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers for beautiful color. You can also use them with Embossing Paste and Palette Knives for textured designs.

Thank you for stopping by! Stay warm!
