Ornate Style Gate Fold

This week’s TGIF Challenge was to make a card with a Belly Band. I took out my new stamp set and made an Ornate Style Gate Fold card!

Here’s the banner for the challenge:

and here’s the stamp set that got me started:

I took the large flower image and stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White Cardstock, then colored it with my Blends. I fussy cut out the image and attached a 1-1/2″ wide belly band made with Pineapple Punch DSP to either side.

Blends colors: Granny Apple Green, Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie, and Mango Melody.

To create the gatefold, I scored a 5-1/2″x 8-1/2″piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock at 2-1/8″ from each side in landscape position. I ran the whole thing through my die-cutting machine with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. For the inside, I found a sentiment from Waterfront and colored another small flower from the Ornate set.

The tiny THANK YOU on the front is from Label Me Bold. Three green Noble Peacock Rhinestones add a touch of sparkle.

Retiring Soon!

A few things on this card will be retiring soon. Everything Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch (2 of the retiring In Colors) will be going. The Layering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, Label Me Bold Stamp Set, and Nobel Peacock Rhinestones are also on the Last Chance Products List (view the products HERE.) Products on this list are available until June 2 or while supplies last. I emphasize that last part because the most popular items go very quickly! Order today!

Thanks for visiting my blog today! Tomorrow I’ll be showing a card with a stamp set that is brand new to me, yet is also on the retiring list (sad to see!). You should check it out, and order one if you don’t have it already! See you then,
