Pop Out Gate Fold with Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper
December 07, 2023
Today I'm sharing a Pop Out Gate Fold card using the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper from the annual catalog. I followed the directions of Lisa Curcio. So for this post I'm going to give her the credit and give you a link to her post and to her video. I mean why should I make a video when hers is so easy to follow!
I love that this card can stand for display. It looks really hard, but it's not bad at all. It's all in cutting the base.
The base of this card is Berry Burst measuring 5 1/2 x 8. Yes the numbers are correct. Score on the long side at 2, 4, and 6. Turn the paper and cut with your Paper Trimmer ONLY between the score lines made at 2 and 6. Do this at 1 1/4 and again at 4 1/4. If this makes no sense to you, Lisa makes it clear on her video. Link coming! She'll even show you how to fold the card. I'm not even going to put that into words for you.
Here are the measurements you need.
Berry Burst cardstock 5 1/2 x 8
Masterfully Made DSP 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2
Masterfully Made DSP 1 1/8 x 1 7/8, cut 4
Masterfully Made DSP center 1 7/8 x 2 7/8
Use the Paper Florist dies to make the center focal point. I used more paper from Masterfully Made. One piece was used to make a stem (1/4 inch strip), 2 leaves, and the saying. The saying is cut using the smallest Deckled Circles dies.
The petals (2) are cut from another piece and the center from an area of the same piece. Curl the petals a little with a Bone Folder.
The saying is from Darling Details and is stamped in Pretty Peacock.
So you are wondering where you have the inside of this card. For this one I'm decorating the back as well. It also adds more substance to the card.
You can write on the two side or in the center. Your choice. The measurements are the same, but I'll add it again.
Masterfully Made DSP 1 7/8 x 5 3/8, cut 2
Masterfully Made DSP 1 1/8 x 1 7/8, cut 4
Masterfully Made DSP center 1 7/8 x 2 7/8
Find Lisa's post here. She even has project sheets that you can download. Find her video here. Don't let the looks of this card stop you. You can do it! I want to thank Lisa for being so willing to share with others.
Here is a card folded up and ready to put into a regular size A2 envelope. I decorated the flap as well.
Thanks to you for your company today. I hope you will try this card. I really enjoyed making it and making my card my own. We are so fortunate to have so many SU demonstrators that love to share their creations!
