You’re going to want to take a peek at this week’s Facebook Live, all about tips for handmade gatefold cards!
Have you ever tried a gatefold card?
And if you have, when was the last time you made one?
Do you forget about this great fun fold when there are so many other intricate and detailed folds out there to try?
How about we encourage you to get back in your craft space and create a few once you see some of my TIPS and ideas?
And see why I love them so much in today’s live replay!
Let’s take a peek at the card we designed together, this one with a surprising closure you’re going to want to try!
How do you like that gold shine? It’s the More Dazzle Specialty paper. and it’s stunning against the bold black card.
The gang decided on the red “berries” rather than gold ones and I think they were spot on. What do you think?
Want More Wreath Inspiration?
This bundle is one I’ve been playing with lately.
Seeing I love wreath cards, this is perfect for me!!
Not only does it have wonderful greetings in a mix of fonts, the dies are delicious! Two detailed dies, one with berries (like we used today) and one with pretty snowflakes. Plus the die to cut out the trees too!
Now if wreath cards are your “thing” too and you’re looking for a Halloween card for the end of the month, take a peek at this Happy Halloween wreath card for some more inspiration. Or this post for 15 wreath cards to make for the holidays has even more ideas!
