Diagonal Gatefold Card

And here is the other card we made at my September Card Clubs:

Isn't it a great card!?  It looks complicated but it's amazingly easy to do.  Here is what it looks like open and without the belly band:

To make this card you'll need a 5 1/2 X 12" strip of double sided patterned paper.  Our Patterned Prints dsp are just perfect for these cards! 

Next score it vertically at 2, 4, 8, 10 inches.  Next you'll make a mark at 2 3/4" from the bottom outside edges.  Then cut from that mark to the 4" and 8" score lines to cut off the upper triangles.  These triangles then move down and are adhered the opposite corner.

I really love this unusual card fold.  It's so perfect for our double sided paper and besides that it's just fun! 

Supplies:

• Stamps – From My Heart
• Card stock – Whisper White, Black, In Color Pattern Prints
• Ink – Basic Black, Pool Party, Calypso Coral
• Accessories – Window Frames Collection framelits die, Big Shot, Black scallop dots ribbon, sponges, markers, 2 ½” circle punch, Dimensionals, Simply Scored

Measurements – Patterned Prints – 5 ½ X 12” score at 2, 4, 8, 10”, White stamped layers – 3 7/8” X 5 7/8”, Black layer – 4” X 5 1/4”.  The belly band is about 1" wide and 10" long.
