#DOswts431 - Mom or Dad Inspiration Hop

 


Hello Creators!

Mother's Day is right around the corner and Father's Day is not far behind. I hope this gives you inspiration for a fun fold. I CASEd a Robyn Armbrecht gate fold card that I think is perfect. Thanks Robyn!!!


I know you remember how much I love this Painted Lavender suite. Here is the inside of the card:



Here are Robyn's Directions. I used Crumb Cake cardstock.


Diamond Double Gatefold Supplies • 5-1/4” x 12” DSP • 2-3/4” square of cardstock • 3-3/4” x 5” cardstock for insert • 5-1/2” x 4-1/2” cardstock • 1” x 10” for belly band (optional) Directions 

 1. Score the 5-1/4” x 12” piece of DSP at 2”, 4”, 8”, and 10”. 

2. Fold and crease on the score lines so that the 4” and 8” lines go toward the middle of the card and the 2” and 10” lines go in the opposite direction. 

3. Open the 5-1/4” x 12” piece of DSP so you are looking at the inside of the card. Measure and mark 2” down from each of the inside top corners. 

4. Using the paper trimmer, cut off the outside corners starting at the 2” mark and ending at the 2” and 10” score lines marks (this takes off triangle shapes from the corners). 

5. Flip the triangle corners over to the opposite pattern and attach them to the bottom outside corners. This creates a diamond shape on the card front when the gatefolds are closed. 

6. Create a layered focal point on the 2-3/4” square as a diagonal. 

7. Attach the 2-3/4” square diagonally, directly onto either the right or left side of the gatefold and centered in the middle of the card front. Adhere it only to the outermost gatefold (or create a belly band for the card and attach the focal point to it.


Give it a try! It's a great card!

Until next time Creators, happy creating!
