MAYMAY'S 2021 SPRING/SUMMER DESIGN TEAM BRENDA COONE GATE FOLD CARD
Hello, this is Brenda R. Coone, @mscraftprincess. I am still using the Flower Garden paper pad by Carta Bella. This paper is so pretty, and I am in a floral mood. When I saw the paper pad, I knew that it would pair well with the Garden Grow stamp set. This card doesn't require much cutting or scoring and you can make several of them in one craft session.

 

Materials:
Garden Grow Stamp Set https://bit.ly/3usKW02

Cutting Guide:
Cut the patterned paper for the front panel at 4” x 5 ¼”
Cut second patterned paper for the shorter panels at 2” X 5 ¼”

 

Assembly instructions:
1. Score card base on the 8 ½” side at 2 1/8” and 6 3/8”. Rotate to the 11” side and score at 5 ½”.
2. Burnish score lines
3. Cut one of the 2 1/8” panels and one of the 6 3/8” panels. Make sure they are either both at the top or bottom of the card base.
4. Your card base will look like this 
5. Stamp your image and the sentiment for the front of the card. Color your image.
6. Fussy the image. You can leave it on the panel and back it with a solid piece of colored cardstock. Also, Maymay has a SVG that you can use to cut the outline with your Cricut machine and then stamp it, but I was in the mood to fussy cut.
7. These are the patterned paper cuts. The front panel is 4 ¼” x 5”. The two shorter panels are cut at 2” X 5 ¼”.
8. Apply distress ink to the patterned paper. This gives a nice vintage look to the paper.
9. Adhere the patterned papers to the card base. The 4” x 5 ¼” panel goes on the front of the card and the two 2” x 5 ¼” panels are adhered to the side panels.
10. Adhere the image to the front of the card. Insert a sentiment and mail it.
