HSDT Fun Fold #6: Happy Haunting Double Fold Gate Card, Guest Author on Splitcoaststampers

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!
