How to Make a Gate Fold Card

[@homeplayingwithpaper]

Thank you! Love the simplicity of your instructions. You were so thorough and easy to understand; not all the filler material that any of us need to make a card. Plain and simple! Thanks! Keep up the good work!

@messyscrapper The DSP panels on the front are each 1-7/8" x 5-1/4". The cream square on the front is 2-3/4" x 2-3/4". More Mustard piece is 2-7/8" square and the Soft Suede piece is 3" square. Glad you like it! Thanks for leaving a comment.

I like watching older videos. Thank you for the additional measurements

Thank you! Quick and easy - I can never remember the score lines, so this tutorial is just what I needed!

[@inkitupwithjessica]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you got into making gate fold cards. They are so much fun to make!

Nice tutorial. Does the gate fold card stay shut?

[@inkitupwithjessica]

If you give the folds a good crease with your bone folder the gate fold should stay shut, but you can also add a bellyband around your card if you'd like.

[@deborahanne9793]

Thanks you

I love this card. It is making me ready for fall. In Texas, it seems we go straight from summer to winter some years. What dimensions did you use on the DSP for the front. What size is the square image on the front?

[@lisamendoza7844]

Very nice card. Thanks for this simple tutorial and thanks for the measurements.

Jessica thank you for the easy, quick and straight forward gate fold card tutorial : ) May I make cards using your tutorial?

[@cathwise1516]

Can you do this without the machine you are using as at present I don't have one of those the one your using for the card can it be folded without it I'm a beginner to making cards

[@inkitupwithjessica]

YES! You could also use a paper trimmer with a scoring blade or a ruler and a bone folder to create the score lines, or if you don't have any of those you could even just measure where the center of your card stock is and fold both ends into meet at that line.

How big is the piece of card we see first (in inches)

[@inkitupwithjessica]

This card has a finished size of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and starts with a piece of card stock that is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"

[@shelleygoodman2612]

Jessica Taylor Thankyou so much. I'm going to order myself a scorer (I've got a PURPLE one in the cart on the website "Craft online") and I'm going to start with an eight inch piece of cardstock and score it at two inches and at six inches; I'm sure that'll work out fine. Thanks for your help

[@erichall3507]

You didn't give measurements for the 2 front panels. Joy

[@valeriebrown9723]

Yes, she did. Look at the first entry at the top. 😊
