Happy Birthday Gate Fold Card

For those of you who receive updates via email, you saw a post come through a few minutes ago but I hadn’t finished it!  I accidentally hit PUBLISH instead of SAVE.  I was writing it early so that it would post on Monday but it looks like it is going out today!! Here’s the finished version!  I’m sorry for any confusion I might I have caused.

Today I’m sharing a Gate Fold birthday card that fits nicely inside one of our Whisper White envelopes. 

To make this fold, start out with a piece of cardstock that measures 8-1/2” x 4-1/4”. Score at 2-1/8” on the long side and again at 2-1/8” on the opposite side and fold on the score lines.

I cut the white scalloped piece and the two squares on top of it using the Layering Squares Framelits

Attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the LEFT side of the scalloped piece and attach it to the left panel on the front of the card being careful that your dimensionals are hidden.

Measurements

Stampin’ Up! Party Animal & Tasty Treats

When I’m creating cards/projects for a class, I make many different samples and then decide which ones to use.  Today I have two cards that didn’t make the cut in my Happy Birthday Class To Go.   I used the stamp set Balloon Adventures for both cards and the measurements for the cardstock and paper are the same. 

All of my butterflies have a piece of vellum on top and I secured it to the cardstock/DSP with glue dots.  The rhinestones are in the perfect place to hide the dots.  Each butterfly has a small piece of Stampin’ Dimensional on the back to give it some height.

Base of card:  8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″  score @ 4-1/4″

Designer Series Paper:  5-1/4″ x 4″

Cardstock panel:  4-1/4 ” x  2-3/4″

Sentiment panel:  4″ x 2-1/2″

The first card uses Stampin’ Up! Party Animal Designer Series Paper and the second one, Tasty Treats. All of the supplies used in making these cards are Stampin’ Up!.  They are listed below along with their item number and price.  When you click on the products you’ll be taken to that item in my Stampin’ Up! online store.   If you have any questions about either card, don’t hesitate to contact me!
