Gate Fold Cards

Last week I did a class on gate fold cards.  It was great!

I chose a simple gate fold layout with the opening in the centre front, and a "belly band" closure with an embellishment on the front.

The ladies really enjoyed themselves.  To keep them rolling, I challenged them to make at least one more over the next few days.  With their permission, I'm sharing them here.

Please note they are all different brands of products.  I don't have a supply list, and because I'm an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I can't endorse other products.

But I would like to encourage you to get all your craft goodies out and have a play!

And here's a couple of mine with some left over DSP.

I hope you'll see some ideas here that you can use.  Here's the dimensions to make this style of card:

Base Card

21cm x 14.8cm – essentially half a piece of A4

Score at 5.25cm from each end (in landscape view)

Layers

Mat – 4.75cm x 14.3cm

DSP – 4.25cm x 13.8cm

Belly Band

23cm x 3.8cm

Score at 6cm from each end

Layers

10.4cm x 3.3cm.  Cut 2 if you want to decorate the front and back

Happy Stamping!
