This double gate fold card is so easy to make, truly, yet has such a wow-factor!
(Please forgive seeing personal message; I'd forgotten to snap a pic. before filling it in; phooey!)
There is a tutorial over here but my dimensions are a tad different (taken from a Shirley Merker). To get two cards from a sheet of DSP, cut your paper to: 12" x 11".
Ah! Here is her video over on YouTube (have fun!):
With the 12" side running across the top, score at: 2", 4", 8" and 10".
Rotate a 1/4 turn and place your 11" edge across the top of your paper trimmer (the score lines will be perpendicular to your cutting blade), and cut at 5 1/2". Now you have prepared two card projects.
With the long side (12" side) running across the top, make pencil tic marks on the right and on the left sides, at 1 1/2" up each, from the bottom.
On each side; cut from that pencil tic mark diagonally up to the top edge of your DSP to the second score line (towards the inside of your card).
Those triangularly cut off pieces will have the necessary score line to fold on and be properly added at the base of your card; the point is glued to the card front and the rest of the DSP will be adhered to the inside of your card.
Have fun making your own!
Thanks for looking!
