Happy Haunting Double Fold Gate Card by Dawn Olchefske

Happy Haunting Double Fold Gate Card, Guest Author on Splitcoaststampers

I'm excited to announce, I'm the Guest Tutorial Author on Splitcoaststampers today!   I'm sharing a Double Fold Gate Card tutorial for Splitcoaststampers. Woohoo!

  

This type of Fun Fold card works best with double sided paper, perfect for Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper.  I chose a fun new Halloween paper from the 2015 Holiday Catalog, called Happy Haunting

Double Fold Gate Card Measurements

• 12" x 5-1/2" piece of Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper
• Score at 2", 4", 8", & 10"
• Turn and pencil mark 2-3/4" on top and bottom
• Diagonal cut from top of 4" score to side 2-3/4" mark, and from top of 8" score to other side 2-3/4" mark (save these pieces to decorate the card)
• 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock
• 3-1/2" x 5" piece of Basic Black cardstock
• Be sure to watch the How'd She DO That? video for a demonstration

I had fun decorating this card by extending the stamping to the inside of the card.  So when it's opened, it would like like a spooky moon scene.  The new Among The Branches stamp set worked perfectly to achieve the look I was going for.  
NOTE:  if you like to Bundle & Save (15% off), then you'll want to check out the Among The Branches Photopolymer Bundle [140872] (bundled with the Woodland Texture Impressions Embossing Folder (a must-have!).
Be sure to check out my How'd She DO That? video for a demonstration of the diagonal cuts, what to do with the the leftover from those cuts, how to do the folding and two more card ideas for you!
