Split Gate-Fold Lily Pond Lane Card

on

I love ducks. I have many lovely memories of visiting the ducks with my children when they were little, of watching the ducks along the banks of the Murray River in country Victoria and of my friend's pet duck when I was a child.


What better time than for a special birthday, to create a beautiful card featuring the amazing Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper. This split gate-fold card is a really easy design to create and can be created in any colours with any Designer Series Paper. All you need is a paper trimmer and scoring blade or tool. For the focal image, you can use any shape die, or even just cut a simple rectangle, then layer it with complimentary colour.

Instructions

For my card I chose to feature one of the adorable duck scene papers from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper pack.

  • The card base is created using Pretty in Pink Cardstock. See measurements below for creating the gate fold card base.
  • For the gate-fold panels I chose the Pretty in Pink water lily paper from the Lily Pond Lane Designer Series Paper pack, which I adhered to the Pretty in Pink Cardstock card base. 
  • Using the Spotlight on Nature Dies, I die cut the scene using the second largest circle die. 
  • To give stability to the Designer Series Paper, I cut a second circle in the same size from Peach Pie Cardstock and adhered it to the back of the Designer Series Paper scene using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 
  • Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I layered the scene onto a Peach Pie Cardstock circle, die cut with a largest circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. 
  • I adhered the largest circle to the front left side panel of the gate fold using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, ensuring that the glue did not extend beyond the edge of the panel.
  • The sentiment from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set was stamped in Gray Granite ink on Basic White Cardstock and trimmed, then inked around the edges with Peach Pie ink using a Sponge Dauber and adhered to the scene with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. 
  • The bow it attached to the Peach Pie circle, below the sentiment, using a Mini Glue Dot. 
  • I completed my card by embellishing with five Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
