This is the front of the gatefold, the sides fold completely together to make it flat on the front, but I wanted to show how the gatefold looked. I took the cardstock and scored at 2-1/8 inch on each side and folded. It fit perfectly. The panel on the front flips open which you can see in another picture. I sponged the orchid opulance with El. Eggplant , Then stamped over this with El. Eggplant. On the one side I used the smallest flower from Paint Print, and on the other side I used the old retired homespun plaid. I tied on the gingham ribbon and only glued the panel on that side. I stamped the love in basic black and then went over it again with my journelor to make it look darker and stand out more. The large flower on the panel is from Paint Prints also. I stamped canvas on the whisper white first with Orchid Opulance before stamping the flower in Eggplant
I chose this set to make my mother's day card as this was gifted to me by my mother..lol. Wanted her to see I can use stamp sets she gives me!

I've never tried a gatefold card, but I may try it after seeing yours. It's lovely. I'm sure your mom will love it. It's now in my favorites. Hope my CASE turns out as well as your CASE. LOL
