I made two versions of this gate fold card last night on Facebook Live. It’s a great layout for two coordinating background papers and a small focal point. I used a wood grain print from Festive Farmhouse and a piece of Whisper White stamped with “Buffalo Check” as the background for my snowman.
The snowman is from “Spirited Snowmen”, colored with Stampin’ Blends. The snowflakes are from the Blizzard Thinlits Die.
The Balmy Blue base measures 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 2 1/4″ and 7 3/4″. The flaps on the front of the card meet, but the Buffalo Check piece extends above the Balmy Blue edge. As a result, you don’t see the seam between the two Balmy Blue flaps. It’s a very clean look for a gate fold card.
The wood grain designer paper measures 2″ x 4″, and the Buffalo Check piece measures 3 1/2″ x 4″.
This card uses the same layout, but with patterns from the Joyous Noel designer paper collection. The snowflake dies will be available starting November 1, part of a fabulous suite including 20 dies, coordinating stamp sets, embellishments and velvet paper – the details of that promotion are shown below.
