I wanted to show you another card fold that I just love!  It is called a gatefold card and you see them around quite a bit.  For this card, you can make it any size you want.  
  • I started with a 5 x10 piece of cardstock. 
  • Score in 2 1/2 " on either side, giving you a 5 inch base.  
  • Then cut you pattern paper a 1/4" shorter ie : I cut (2) 2 1/4 and (1) 4 3/4
  • Adhere the papers to the base 
  •  Decorate the inside of your card
  • Then cut a second piece of cardstock for "gate" part of your card 
  • I cut mine 3 x4  
  • Adhere it to the left flap of your base card
  • Decorate/embellish it like you want
There you go!  A very easy card to make :)

I am also offering blog candy to anyone who comments not just on this post post but all week!  I will add up all the comments and pick a winner on Feb 15th!!!  Here it is:

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...

Welcome to the Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company May Blog Hop!  This month's New Stamp Set Releases are   Featured  May 13 Kiss Me &  Plywood  For the first time, I decided to use both stamp sets together. I wanted to make a more "manly" pop box card that is all the rage right now. I went horizontal with my box and cut off the side flaps. Using clear acetate, I have my frog up in the "air". I think it turned out great.  I am gonna sent this to Africa to my BIL. He and my sister are missionaries there for another year.
