In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a gate fold card. The final card is A2 size. Start with a 8.5″ X 11″ piece of card stock. Place it horizontally on the Simply Scored score board. Score it at 2.75″ and 8.25.” Place the card stock vertically onto a paper trimmer. Cut it at 4.25″ and then use a spatula to flatten the card along its score lines. Cut a 5.25″ X 4″ mat out of card stock for the inside of the card. Cut two mats from the Bird Ballad designer series paper for the outer panels. They are 4″ X 2.5″ each. Embellish the card using a sentiment from the Free as a Bird stamp set and other shapes, cut outs and/or patterns from the Bird Ballad designer series paper.
