I've got another cool Fancy Fold card. That's the challenge today at SSINK. So, it must be Fancy Fold week as my post on Wednesday for Stampin' Royalty was Fancy Fold, check out that card HERE.
For today I have a Latch Gatefold Card.
The card opens in the center, the scallop oval and inner oval interlock, creating a latch on the front of the card.
I used the new Layering Ovals Framelits to create the latch. This set has 15 dies in it, a mix of scalloped ovals and smooth ovals.
To make the gate fold you need at piece of card stock cut to 4-1/4" x 11", score this at 2-3/4" on each end. Fold the two ends to the middle where they will meet up.
Once you die cut your scallop oval, cut the center out with another smooth oval, creating a frame. Cut the same size oval from another color of card stock.
To make the latch, adhere the oval frame to only the left hand side of the card. Close the card, put adhesive on the inside of the oval, only on the right side and then lay your smooth oval down, so that it is only adhered to the right side of the card.
For cute parts of this card I used the Swirly Bird Bundle, a set of stamps with coordinating dies.
What I love about this set and why I bought it, is because of the limitless possibilities! There is so much you can do with this set, like make a nautical card by stamping a sail boat. You can also make a kite, a bird in a nest with some eggs, flowers, swirls, and more! The second thing that sold me is the fabulous die that coordinate, they don't have a die set that just cuts out the images, but have die shapes to use with the images. This gives us even more to do with this bundle!
I have already made a few cards using the swirls you can see them here:
I also snuck in some clouds from the Always and Adventure Bundle.
