Gate Fold Card

Made this Gate Fold Card (which opens in the center of the card...like a "gate")

To make this card I cut a piece cardstock to measure 4½" in height....and 11" in width.
Score the card at 2¾" from each end (I used my Martha Stewart Mini Score Board).
Fold your card on the fold lines...they will meet in the middle of the card.
I then cut a 3"x 3" piece of cardstock for the center front.
I stamped "Thinking Of You My Friend" on it - which is from the CTMH "For A Friend Occasions" stamp set  (D1542)
I attached it to one side of the card with dimensional dots (only attach them to one side so that your card will open up.)
I then added some flower elements from the Chantilly Elements Set (X7163C)

Tools Used:
Mini Score Board & Dimensional Dots

Storage Box

Made this cute box that is a heavy-duty chipboard box with magnetic closure.
which measures 6 3/8" × 2 1/8" × 4 3/8".
I covered the top of the box with solid cardstock, then added printed designer papers around the sides (just used glue)
Then glued on the chipboard flower design to the top.
This box is very nice for storing cards, pictures, crafting supplies, etc.

Here's a picture of the inside of the box:

Here is what the actual box looks like:
This is item number Z1647

Photo On Canvas

I used our family photo which was hand drawn by our family member Zakk.
I used CTMH 6"x6" My Creations ® Canvas (Z1818)
I printed the photo on to a sheet of  Tissue Paper (just regular tissue paper that you buy for gift wrapping)
I layed the tissue paper on to a sheet of paper (taped the edges of the tissue paper on to the sheet of paper)
to print it out.
I applied Mod Podge generously on to the canvas with a foam brush...then layed the tissue paper photo on to the canvas and eased out the bubbles carefully.
The tissue paper is very delicate so you have to be very careful not to rip it.
Trim the edges of the paper and fold them over the edges and use Mod Podge to glue down the edges.
I let it dry pretty good and then I applied another coat of Mod Podge on top of the photo for added protection.

Hello Card


Supplies used on this card:
CTMH White Card
CTMH Dream Pop Paper Collection
CTMH Color Ready Ribbon Z1732
CTMH 1 X 1" Block Y1000
CTMH A Garden Stamp Set A1119 (Hello)
CTMH Exclusive Inks Cotton Candy Inkpad Z2193
CTMH Chantilly Elements X7163C



Here is how I made this card........


 Lay your card on the cardstock that you want as your background and trace around the card.

Cut out the tracing (you can use a scissors or a paper cutter.)
 
Use an adhesive tape roller (or glue) to the back of the cardstock - turn it right side and line it up on your card and press it down good.




Then trace the pattern paper to the height where you want it to go up to on your card and then cut that out - add your tape to the back of that piece and lay it on the bottom part of your card.

So it looks like this.
Cut a piece of ribbon to go across the seam line and use your tape to glue it down then trim the ribbon off the two sides to line up with the card.
Add your element and then stamp your sentiment on to it.









This is the result.
