Gatefold slide & lock card using rose bouquet digitalstamps from varada sharma designs

Hello everyone,

I'm super delighted to be video Designing with varada sharma today. Thank you so much for this opportunity.  

Today’s fun fold card includes a front panel that slides over the gate fold to lock it in place.


The front layer/panel of this card is comprised of four pieces all cut the same size. Two of the four pieces are scored and folded in half and act as the hinges for the slide mechanism. They are then adhered to a back piece for stability. The final piece provides a place for the card’s focal point plus added stability of the hinges.

I used designer paper for the gate fold and image layer.

I added several sequins from the pretty pink posh Sequins for added sparkle and texture.

Hi stamping friends  I’m jumping into a challenge today over on the Cupacke inspiration challenge #486  and their challenge this month is,    I have the My favourite things stamp set! It’s called Piles of Fun and it is filled with so many adorable critters having fun in the fall. I stamped all of my images with Copic friendly Black Ink and then colored them with pencils n waterbrush pen. I then went to work on my card background. I cut a piece of White Card Stock then blended this panel with green Distress Oxide Inks. I then stenciled my panel lightly with green ink  leafy  dry, I tbranches. Then trimmed my  to blended cardstock to design cutter. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment in the top right portion on the brown card with Black Ink and adhered all of my images with some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape to give them more dimension.  If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, please feel free to check out my Instagram feed!!!

These are the basic sizes of cardstock you will need to create the card, plus a card base.  The 4 3/4 by 3 1/2 piece of cardstock.  This piece needs to be scored at 2inches and 2 1/2 inches. Fold it on the 2 1/2 inch score line. attach your first square right up to that 2 inch score line.  add some adhesive on the remaining part between the 2 and 2 1/2 inch score lines. Place your larger panel on top of  the smaller one, right up to that fold line, adhering only on the little space where you added adhesive in the photo above. unfold the tab piece and add a strip of adhesive just on the edge, under the smaller square.  Slide the tab piece through the slot in the base cardstock Paper. move the panel piece around a
