Shaded Gatefold Card - Fancy Fold blog hop

We are still in Denmark, working on our last 4 weeks over here. We have had some very cold weather and a little bit of snow. We are still hoping for a good dumping of snow before we leave, but I doubt it will happen.

This month's fancy fold is a Dual Pop-Up Card and I have used this tutorial by JanB Cards , which is very easy to follow. The video is a bit long, but there are also a few layers and parts to this card but get the measurements from the description below the video and do it in your own tempo.

This card is a 'use your stash' card as I have used the retired stamp set 'Tulip Fields' with the windmill. But any stamp set could be used for this card, you can use flowers or for a Christmas card the Santa Express suite would be perfect.

I have also used the Design a Daydream designer series paper, which is a hostess pack with 48 sheets and great patterns.

Here is the closed card



And here it is in full display mode



The card base is Basic White layered with Blackberry Bliss. I have used one pattern from the DSP pack for the front and another for the inside.

All the stamped panels are Basic White with masking and ink blending.

 






This was a fun card to make. It does take a bit of time and has a lot of measuring, cutting and layering, but it does make a beautiful card to display.

Hope you like it and have a go. I hope you enjoyed this fold and card and leave a comment below, so I know you stopped by. Also, please keep hopping to see the other great creations from the team. Gina is next, so hop on over and check out her card 😊

The current host code is XHDMJ97D, make sure to use this for a little gift from me.

The July-December mini catalogue is coming to an end and the last chance list is out with lots of great discounts and there is sure to be something to cover your Christmas needs. There is even a stamp set more appropriate for our warm Australian summer. The Clearance Rack has also been updated with lots of great products.
