Hummingbird Gate Fold Card

 Hummingbird Gate Fold Card

Hi and a Happy Hello to you!

Can you believe that it's September? I mean, September! Time always flies, doesn't it?

Today's card is a gate fold card.

This is a 5 x 7 gatefold card made with white cardstock.

• To make the gatefold, I started with cardstock measuring 10 inches long x 7 inches high.
• Starting with my cardstock positioned horizontally (long side), I scored at 2 1/2 inches on the left and 2 1/2 inches on the right.
• I folded each side to the center of my card.
• I now have my card base.

The card base was matted with:

• gold mirror card: 2 3/8 inches wide x 6 7/8 inches tall. (x 2, one for each front panel)
• Green pearl card: 2 1/8 inches x 6 5/8 inches (x2)
• Patterned cardstock (Hummingbird by Crafters Companion): 
• 2 inches x 6 1/2 inches (x2)

The inside of the card was matted with:

• Gold mirror card: 4 7/8 inches x 6 7/8 inches
• Green pearl card: 4 5/8 inches x 6 5/8 inches
• Patterned cardstock: 4 1/2 inches x 6 1/2 inches

Embellishments added:

• Front:
• Blue sparkle ribbon
• Blue pearls
• Inside:

Scalloped Circle Shaped Card

 Scalloped Circle Shaped Card

Hi all!  

Hope you had a great week!

Today's card is a shaped card and is about 6 x 6 inches.  I made this with an old Verso die (Tonic Studios).  

My card base is white cardstock. I added a gold mirror mat to the front of my card as the first layer. 

I adhered each layer with glue and created a banner from white cardstock and matted it with gold mirror card. 
I added the flowers (Prima) and vines (Tim Holtz Greenery Thinlets dies) and attached my sentiment (Dazzles at Paper Wishes).

It was a lot of fun picking out all the colors for this card.  Most of the colors are cardstock with a bit of gold and blue mirror card.

I was going to add a bow but decided not to.  What do you think?

I love the different designs on each circle. These are actually two dies (one to cut the edge and one to cut in the design). So each can be used separately.

Here are some close ups of the detail on this card.
