PEACEFUL POPPIES BIRTHDAY CARD 1 - FANCY GATE FOLD - 5/31/2020

FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN STASH BASH 2020 - YOU TUBE COLLABORATION

Each month, on the last day of the month, I participate in a YouTube collaboration hosted by Heather's Handmade Haven.  The idea is to use what is in your stash and create cards.  There is a theme each month, and this month was Birthday Cards.  

Since the beautiful Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Elements are retiring, I decided to use this paper one last time.  I had also come across a tutorial for a Fancy Gate Fold card and wanted to give that a try.  The result is the card you see pictured below, which I feel might be one of my better creations, or at least most unique cards.  I hope you agree!

DIMENSIONS and DIRECTIONS:

1) Whisper White 12" x 12" Card Stock - Cut to 12" x 5-1/2".  Score at 2", 4", 8" and 10" - fold and burnish to form the basic gatefold.

2)  Designer Series Paper (DSP):

• 1 x 3-3/4" W x 5-1/4" H
• 4 x 1-3/4" W x 5-1/4" H
• Front Piece - 3-3/4" W x 5" H (NOTE:  You can substitute this for a piece of Whisper White and stamp a design, instead of using DSP.  This piece will be cut into 3 x 1-3/4" H x 3-3/4" W).

3)  Basic Black Front Mat(s) - 4" W x 5-1/2" H.  This will be cut into 3 pieces later but will still total 5-1/2" High by 4" Wide.

4)  Peaceful Poppies Elements for inside card

5)  Whisper White Scrap for Sentiment inside - use sentiment of your choice and dies or punches of your choice.I used 1-1/2" circle punch, layered on the black Peaceful Poppies circle element.

Assembly is pretty easy, with the front close being the trickiest part.  Beneath my YouTube video I will have a link to the video I watched to learn how to make this card.  Here is a link to my YouTube video sharing this and two other cards (in separate blog posts).
