Snowflake Gate Fold Card by Sara Cook

Hi everyone. I have another winter card that can be used for any occasion. This is a quick and easy card to put together.

Card Base:

Cut a light blue heavy weight card stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". To create the gate fold score at 2 1/4" turn card around and score at 2 1/4" at the other end. Fold and press with a bone folder. Die cut the Aurora Snowflake Frame from the blue shiny paper from the Vintage Pastel Mirror pad. Glue 1/2 of the frame to 1 side of the gate fold. Trim of the side that is not glued down with a paper trimmer. Glue the other side to the other gate flap.

Wrap Around Strip:

Cut from the same light blue card stock to 1 1/4" x 10". To create the fold it is best to wrap it around the card. Secure 1 end to the center of the left panel with washi tape and wrap around the card. Die cut the Alpine Snowflakes from the same shiny blue paper 4 times. Adhere the snowflakes around the strip. Stamp "let it snow" from the Shining Star clear stamp set on the same light blue card stock with VersaFine Clair Twilight. Trim around the sentiment. Edge the strip and sentiment with white pigment ink. Adhere the sentiment on the snowflake.

Assembly:

Using tape runner, adhere the strip around the card starting at the center of the left panel and ending at the center of the right panel. There should about 1 1/2" hanging over the left panel. Add a little liquid glue just under the right panel. Add a velcro self adhesive dot to the left flap and put the top on then close the other side pressing down on the paper to adhere the top dot. Stamp the inside with May Peace Love & Joy surround you like the first Snow from the Yuletide Moments stamp set using VersaFine Clair Twilight ink. Adhere the extra snowflakes around the sentiment in the inside of the card.
