The Gate Fold: Learn how to create a fun and unique gate fold card design that will impress your loved ones.
The gate fold technique is not only visually striking but also adds an element of surprise to your cards. To create this fold, simply take a piece of card-stock 14.8 cm x 21 cm and score at 5.2 cm and again at 15.8 cm. Then, fold each side towards the center, creating two flaps that meet in the middle. When you open the flaps, they resemble gates opening wide.
This design allows for endless possibilities when it comes to decorating your card. You can use patterned paper, stamps, or even hand-drawn designs to make it truly unique. Let your creativity run wild as you imagine the delight on your loved ones’ faces when they open this special card.
