Merry Christmas side gatefold

 

Inside of card

Back of card

Hey, my crafty friends, I made this Christmas card today, even though Christmas is four months away, but you know it comes really fast.

I believe this funfold is called a side gatefold.

Measurements for the card base are  6 x 11 ½  scored at 1.1/4 , 

3.1/4 , 7 ½ 

Back of card: 4 ½   x 6 ⅛ 

Front strip:  1 ⅛  x 5 ¾ 

Directions:

1. Fold in both sides of the card.  on the left side, fold out and glue to the card.
2. Glue the back cardstock that measures 4 ½  x 6 ⅛ to the center of the card.
3. Glue the strip to the front of the smaller fold (this is the front of the card).
4. Add a strip of designer paper to decorate the inside of the card.
5. Add a tag of anything to the front of the card, making sure you just glue half of it down.
6. Embellish as desired and add sediments.  If you like, you can add a bow.

FILLED WITH CHEER

 

On Sunday, I played with fun with cheer stamp from Stampin Up, and let me tell you it was a lot of fun.

I used Navy blue cardstock measuring 4 ¼” by 5 ½” and topped it with a white cardstock measuring 4” by 5 ¼”.

I also used a strip of designer paper measuring 1 ¾’” by 5” that coincided with the base color.

You will also cut a 3 ¾” by 3 ¾” piece of navy blue card stock and glue it to the center of the card.

Next, you will stamp your filled-with-cheer snowman on a 3 ½” by 3 ½” piece of white cardstock. I also stamped the sentiment below the snowman color it as you desire and glue that to the top of the navy-blue square.

All you need to do now is embellish it and finish the inside as desired.

yours truly,

Ana
