I’m playing a little catch up here on the blog. My card share today is last week’s Mystery Stampin’ challenge. This is called a Hidden Gate Fold. However, from the photo above it looks like an ordinary A2 card but from the title you know you’ll find something unique on the inside. Here, take a look…
…and then open it up again!…
…and thus the hidden gatefold! Isn’t this a unique fold? And it was very easy to create. You can follow Jeanie’s directions HERE to give it a try yourself. I followed all the directions except I added an extra layer on the front and the hand cut image on the “gate”. In case you’re wondering, I used two retired sets for the sentiments. The card front sentiment is from the So Sincere stamp set and the inside is a combination of two sentiments from the Lasting Joy stamp set.
What do you think of this beautiful paper?
It’s a new Online Exclusive, called Painterly Pears which is part of the new Painterly Pears Suite.
I love everything about this whole suite and I think it will be very popular. I’m already going to order another package of the Designer Series Paper.
This is just one of the new Online Exclusive Suites. I think you’ll be impressed with all the fun, beautiful and inspiring products in this release that will be available on July 1st. I know I was!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. The highlight of my weekend was enjoying the Creativity Now Event with one of the most creative people I know…Jeanie Stark. We spent the day together at Jeanie’s house chatting, crafting, eating and chatting some more. It was a wonderful day!
Take care,
Rosanne
Ahh, wish I could have been there with you! I have such fond memories of the last time the three of us were together. Your take on Jeanie’s Mystery Stampin’ is beautiful. And I love that pear paper too!
Thanks, Karen! I think of that time together often, too! Jeanie and I are trying to make a point of getting together monthly at each other’s home. We live almost 2 hours apart but it’s worth the drive! Perhaps we’ll have an opportunity to get together again.
We are doing good so far about getting together monthly! I love our times together! It’s amazing how we can chat (and laugh) 8 hours nonstop! LOL
Karen, I wish you could have been here too! You know you are always welcome. I agree that Rosanne’s card is gorgeous! And I’m with her about ordering another pack of that pear paper!
I have some of the Frames and Flowers cut outs and DSP left and can’t wait to make the Puzzle Slider Care. Also, I’m participating in a July Online Exclusives Paper Share and will be trying my hand at your Hidden Gate Fold and I hope my fussy cutting lives up to the challenge. Thanks for the wonderful ideas and inspiration.
You’re welcome, Sharon! These fun folds are a lot of fun!
