A Simple Gatefold Card

A Simple Gatefold Card

Hey Crafty Meraki friends....it's Michelle back with you, sharing a simple gatefold card.  This week the Crafty Meraki design team is putting all the focus on interactive, fancy and fun fold cards.  Now I must admit, that these types of cards are not my forte and I wasn't sure what to do, so I did what everyone does...turned to Pinterest for different fold card ideas.  There are so many great and amazing ideas out there, but I decided to stay on the simple side and focus on the Gatefold card.  Now you may ask yourself, self...what is a gatefold card???  Well it is just that...a card that opens up like a gate.  Let's open up that gate and get right to it, shall we!

 To start cut a piece of light pink cardstock to 8.5" x 5.5".  Score at 2 1/8" on either side, from the outside edges in.  Cut 2 pieces of black cardstock to 2" x 5 3/8" and 2 pieces of printed cardstock to 5 1/4" x 1 7/8". Take a bone folder and fold over both scored lines on the pink cardbase.  Adhere both pieces of printed cardstock on the black cardstock with liquid adhesive and adhere to the folded flaps on the outside of the folded card base.

Cut a few vellum leaves using the Laurel Leaf dies.  Cut out the pink themed sheet from the Evergreen Elegance EAP using the coordinating dies.   Arrange all diecut leaves accordingly and adhere using glue.  Cut out a small circle from the same pink cardstock as the cardbase to adhere behind the diecut leaves.  This will give the leaves a base to adhere to, but also ties in the cardbase more.  Cut the happy birthday sentiment from the Gilded Greetings EAP and cut out using the coordinating dies

Adhere the pink diecut circle to the middle of the left side of the flap.  Be sure to only apply glue to half of the circle.  Add the diecut leaf arrangement to the circle diecut and the happy birthday sentiment over the bottom half of the leaves, using foam adhesive to give it some dimension.  To finish it, add scattering of Meraki Sparkle Magic Crystal gems and tie a piece of twine around the card to keep it closed before it goes to recipient.  

I hope that you have enjoyed my post for today and that I help to inspire you some way.  If you are new  to fun and fancy fold cards, then I think the gateway card is a perfect intro to them.  I wish you all the most wonderful and crafty day and until next time,

Michelle :)

I was lured into a crypto currency investment platform that I came across on Instagram. I lost about $508,000 to this evil scheme after I invested and accumulated profits, I was denied withdrawals on the specified date. I wrote to the customer support but I was given no feedback, I knew I had been scammed and I started to search for a way to recover my crypto. I considered myself fortunate that I stumbled upon a post on the internet web about a recovery expert, Hack Michelle Tyler.

I invested $86,000 worth of USDT into a stock market trading app, believing it to be a legitimate opportunity for me to make profit. It wasn’t until later that I discovered it was a Ponzi scheme. As a full-time investor, I was devastated by the loss and felt immense regret for trusting the marketing admin with my hard earned money. While grappling with the aftermath, I came across Reviews of jamesmckaywizard on GOOGLE while i was looking for ways to recover my stolen funds back. After researching, I found them to be a genuine and trustworthy crypto recovery team. I reached out to them, and they promptly guided me through the entire process via their email. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my USDT was fully recovered. I highly recommend their Service to anyone seeking assistance in recovering their crypto or money lost to anyone online due to false pretense or whatsoever via Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what ’Sapp +31- 65-74-46-24-8.

Hello everyone I know this is not the topic to be discussing here but with what I Have been through and my bad experience, I want everyone be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $900,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted them and provided the neccesary requirement, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Chat Them on Email:jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what’sapp +31-65-..7 4 4 6 2 .48.
