Just saw a card on a Ciao Bella video, and I would love to have a tutorial for it. The gate fold card opens to an opening prism around an image. It was shown at about the 2 minute mark on this video. Hope the link works.
I'm unable to see videos here on SCS, but from the fact you mention an opening gatefold, it sounds to me as if this might be what you are looking for: Shutter Gate Fold Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I'm sorry the link did not work. If you do a search on YouTube, type in "Ciaobella New Deluxe Paper". The card done in glossy papers is stunning.
Both of the techniques are different versions of the same opening shutter. The Shutter Gate Fold Tutorial looks exactly like the card shown in the video. I want to try both tutorials out now.

Thank you both!
I'm not much of a video person, but there are times I do find it frustrating not being able to see videos here, and this is one of those times. Things went back to normal for most people very quickly after the time there was a site-wide issue some time last year, but not for a handful of us. I just see a large blank area. Weirdly, if it's in a forum where I have moderator rights and I edit the thread, I can see the video while in edit mode. But this isn't a forum where I could do that.
The iris one that you linked is fun, but I admit it's one of the very few times I thought that it was worth buying dies (Lawn Fawn) for an interactive card, because printing, tracing and cutting the elements for the iris was a bit fiddly. It might be easier now I have a printer which will print on heavier card - but now I have the dies!

Sabrina, this tutorial is INCREDIBLE - thank you for bringing it to my attention. I didn't know you could do this without dropping a ton of $$ on dies! THANK YOU!

So long as one is happy with cutting and scoring, it's my belief that there are very few interactive cards that really need dies. People were making waterfall, surprise pop-up, even viewmaster cards long before dies were mainstream.The one exception I made was the mechanical iris, the tutorial Valli linked. I made at least three using the printable template in the tutorial, but tracing and cutting those curved blades accurately was always tricky, and that was one die set I was happy to spring for. That one where you slide it and the picture changes (magic picture changer) is another one I certainly think is only really feasible with dies. I have a template in one of my paper engineering books, but again it requires total accuracy.
