Let's get the fun started with a HANDMADE CARD & TUTORIAL from
Petaloo DT member Bibiana ...
Hello Petaloo Friends:
Here Bibiana
I love to discover new shapes and try them on cards...and To display flowers such as the ones from "Petaloo" and display "Authentique" papers these type of cards are excellent....
I have seeing this type of cards since a long time ago, but this is the first time that I decided to try this "fancy fun fold",
that you may call "Reversed Double Gate Fold" card...because it is in reality a "Gate fold" with double panels but looking it backwards...
how to make the fold
1- cut paper at 11 3/4" x 5 1/2"
2- score paper at 3 1/4" ; 5" ; 6 3/4" ; 8 1/2"
3- make folds as shown
4- cut an hexagon shape, then cut in 1/2
5- place on each side, trace shape on paper and cut
NOTE: To make bigger hexagons than the die; add few inches with a pencil, ruler and cut by hand
I used "Authentique"/nestled collection papers paired with blue and cream/orange blossoms from "Petaloo"!
The center panel, the owl, is a sticker from "Authentique" paper collection...
The left and right panels
A last view
I hope you will try this fun Shape a "Reversed Double Gate Fold" card using the gorgeous "Authentique" papers with the beautiful "Petaloo" flowers.
Thanks for the company and see you next time
supplies:Petaloo:
1- "Botanica" collection chantilly mixed blooms MS x6 cream/sienna
2- "textured" collection mixed textured mini blossoms x9 teal
Authentique:1- "Nestled" collection
Great idea for Thanksgiving. Will start on mine today!
