Gatefold and Tri-fold cards

I recently did a workshop where we did two cards with extra special folds that I wanted to share with you here. One is a Gatefold cards with actually just means that the card is folded so that the ends meet in the middle of the card. You take a half sheet of cs (5 1/2 across and 8 1/2" long), scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8".



The other card is a Tri-fold pocket card, based on a card by Sharmill. This is a variation of the Tri-fold card where the last fold is glued at the bottom and side to form a pocket for in this case a tag. You start with a piece of cardstock 12" x 5 1/2" and then score it at 4" and 8" so that you have 3 equal sections. Then you cut it from the top right corner to about an 1 1/2" from the bottom left hand corner and fold and decorate.

2 Valentine Cards

Here are 2 cards from my upcoming class...


Valentine Pizza Box

Hello Everyone,


I am just enjoying the new "Love You Much Bundle" so much that I though I would post pictures of a project that I recently made using the bundle. It is a Mini Pizza Box with Valentines project that was posted to my Demonstrator site by a fellow demonstrator, Desiree Spenst. I think it is just the cutest! The first pictures is the outside of the box, then the box opened, then the cards, then the envelopes. Sorry that the lined envelope is a bit blurry but I wanted you to see that they were all lined. The cards are 3 x 3 size. If you would like to make this project, too, just give me a call or e-mail me at pauline@comestampwithpauline.com.
