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.
