Be adventurous and try some...
...gatefold cards.
If you want to try something a bit more adventurous, then have a go at gatefold cards.
Can't find what you want? Let the search box help you.
They are easy to do and yet look so special. And of course the way you dress it up can make it really lovely.
Take an A4 card, which will measure 30x21cms, and lay it flat.
From one of the short sides measure in 10cms, crease and fold as described in
cardblanks.
From the other short side measure in 5cms and do the same.
This will produce an "Off Centre Gatefold".
As shown in the picture.
Now comes the fun part of dressing it up to suit the occasion.
I made this one as a Valentines Day card, but yours could be for any occasion that you wanted.
The large hearts are
dry embossed
from a board, using silver mirror card.
The heart paper is made slightly smaller.
The silk flowers and the ribbon make it into something special, and it would be welcomed by any lady as a token of love.
By measuring the same distance from each side (7.5cms) scoring and folding in, will produce an Equal Gatefold.
This card is given a completly different treatment, but is just as charming whichever way you decide to measure.
It's up to you and your imagination as to what effects you can produce.
Be adventurous and give it a try.
Magic!
