my first gatefold card

I have been seeing a lot of gatefold cards lately and decided to try it out. It looked simple enough to me but once I scored and closed my card I found that there was a little bit of a gap... oops! Guess I should have measured a little better. I decided to leave it and just layered my image over the middle to cover up my oops. This is an outside/inside view of what I came up with:




What I used:
  • 5"w x 12" sturdy cardstock (blue base)
  • 2" 3/4w x 4" 3/4 patterned cardstock (layered panels on front of card)
  • 5" 1/2w x 4" 1/2 yellow cardstock (top layer inside)
  • 5" 3/4w x  4" 3/4 patterned cardstock (inside layer, under yellow)
  • left over scraps (for cricut cut outs and layers)
  • Celebrate It 360 Blue Ribbon
  • Cricut Elegant Edges Cartridge (pg 50, oblong with shift layer)
  • Cricut Suburbia Cartridge (pg 46, "Mary" with shift layer)
