SSNOTIME109*** GATEFOLD WONDERS

It's Friday and time for Sharon's STAMP SIMPLY challenge... Today it's Gatefold cards.. I love this style of card. There are so many variations. If you remember I made little frames for World Card Making day.. See them HERE*** I thought I would make a card for today's challenge that went along with them so that I could give them as gifts during the holiday season.



My dimensions are as follows.
1 - 41/4" x 11" scored at 2", 3 3/4", 7 1/4" and 9".
2 - 4" x 1 3/4" for the outside panels
1 - 3 1/4" x 4" and 1 - 3" x 3 3/4" for inside panels
outside image - 1 - 2 1/2" x 2 3/4"
1 - 2 3/4" x 3"
1 - 2 1/2" x 2 3/4"
I used Papertrey Ink's Scarlet Jewel and Kraft cardstock.


I stamped a little snowflake from Papertrey Ink in Vintage cream ink on the outside panels.
The wreath is also from PTI as well as the sentiment inside. This card came together very quickly. If you wanted to mass produce these it would be simple. Just cut up all the elements, stamp your images and then put them together. Easy Peasy!!!
