Here is the Tuesday challenge for this week. Create a GATE FOLD card. Mine is not nearly as artsy as many of our samples have been, but you can go as fancy or as simple as you like with this. I have seen some beautifully ornate gates and other diecuts on line. This is a card for my somewhat quirky dgd. I liked that the sneaker stickers are different colours (don't know if she would wear different shoes to school, but certainly wears different coloured SOCKS--on purpose!) Just do YOUR thing! by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I used a gatefold card blank, but it would be easy to create one from cs. For this, you would need to cut a piece of white cs 10" by 7", then fold in each end at 2 1/2" to meet in the middle. The pp peices on the sides are 6 3/4" by 2 3/8". The cs on the front panel is 3" by 4". Have fun. And don't forget to share your card with us in this thread!

That's a fun card grammadee. After my company leaves I will have to make one.

Cute card, grammadee!
My DD and DDIL both wear different colored/patterned socks on purpose, too.

I have a hard time getting my gatefolds to fold perfectly, but I'm in for this challenge. I'll work on it later in the week.

I need a birthday card later this month so I used a Silhouette cut file to make this. It folded fine, which is always a challenge for me. Photos of inside and outside. Astronaut Birthaday

I've never made a card like this and I'm not sure how I feel about it. There wasn't really any way to add a sentiment to the front so it's super plain.

nylene, your space card is adorable, especially the little astronaut! I love how elements on the gate fold create a picture on the front.
gale w, your interlocking scene is something I’ve thought about trying, but I have never actually done it. Your card looks great, just as it is, without any sentiment.
