This is the card that inspired today's Creative Fold Video. It was done by Kim Baker from Hennepin, Il. Check out how she created the adorable pigpen with the Classic Label Punch and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack.
Well I needed a 60th birthday card, so I decided to create it in a video and use the Double Gate Fold like Kim did. Well I started out with the 5 /12" x 11" piece of cards stock, but I started scoring at the 1 3/4" mark instead of the 1 1/4" like Kim did. So I got a gap in my opening, as you will see in the video, but I still made it work. Here is the card I created.
It is very easy to create a "special" birthday card with the Large Number Framelits. I used the Dazzling Details Glimmer Paper which just makes the numbers jump off the Basic Black Card Stock.
Make sure you watch the video to see where I went wrong with this card.
Correct Score lines should be along the 11" side of the 5 1/2" x 11"piece of card stock You will score at 1 1/4", 3 1/2", 7 3/4" and 9 3/4". You will mark up along the 5 1/2 sides 2 1/2" and cut at a diagonal to get the Double Gate Opening.
Linda, That is just so cute!!! Thanks for all your fun folds! I have pinned all of them & try to make quite a few… I'm positive I'll be going to Alaska next year…only a few more points needed, & I'll try to meet you then! Thanks again!
Good for you Cheryl on Alaska you still have time. Glad you enjoy the creative folds
