Double Gate-Fold Card

I've been having so much fun playing with the Hand-Penned Product Suite. I love the softness of this suite.


I wanted to create a fancy-fold card using this gorgeous DSP and I decided that a double gate-fold card would be the perfect way to showcase both sides of this DSP.


To create this fold, you first start with a piece of DSP measuring 5-1/4" x 12". You then score it at 2", 4", 8", and 10". Then with a pencil, mark 2" from the top on both the left and right sides of your DSP. Cut off your first corner at a diagonal from your pencil mark on the left to your first score line (at 2"). Cut off your second corner at a diagonal from your pencil mark on the right to your last score line (at 10"). Do no throw these corner pieces away. Your project will look similar to the below image.


Accordion fold your DSP in from the left and right. Then glue your corner pieces to the front of your card so that you create a diamond shape as shown in the images.


I then added a piece of Highland Heather Cardstock to the back of the card measuring 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and a piece of Basic White Cardstock to the inside of my card measuring 3-7/8" x 5-1/8". Then it's just a matter of decorating!


I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies for the front of the card and made sure to stamp the inside as well!


This fancy-fold is so easy yet so pretty! I'd love to see your gate-fold cards! Make sure you tag me in them when you post them to social media!

Happy Stamping!
