Nestabilities/Core'dinations Gate Fold Card Tutorial

I want to teach you how to create Gate Fold cards. I touched on this in an earlier posting but I got a lot of requests to write the instructions. These card outsides are made using the Largest Petite Circle and Largest Square Nestabilities

These are the supplies I used.
I first cut my paper for both cards at 7 7/8 by 4.5 and scored at 1 15/16 from each side to create the gate. The paper will be smaller than your die. I folded both flaps in, making sure that they met in the center, and making sure that the die edges extended slightly past the cardstock on both sides. You need to keep a small area on both sides uncut so that you have hinges when the card is opened creating the gate
I then taped the outside edge of the die to my card to keep from slipping. You can also use the magnetic mat. I would have but I can't keep them in stock so I don't own one myself :(

This is what they look like after cutting.
YES this is the NEW SCOR PAL MAT that fits inside the score pal creating a work surface, self healing cutting mat. I love working on this surface. THIS is a PREORDER on my site for $15.00.

Then I used the plain Circles and Squares to create my layer. I embossed them both.
adhere one side then using a paper cutter or trimmer carefully cut to match up perfectly.


Then I added matching ribbon. I used the fiskars leave it to weaver first but in order to be able to open the card it would not work. I LOVE that punch

Then I ran coordinating CORE'DINATIONS cardstock thru the SWISS DOTS cuttlebug folder
Repeat the same step as above and adhere one side then carefully run thru paper trimmer to line up.
Then I used the Dragonfly and Butterfly from FLYING BEAUTIES SPELLBINDERS DIES. I embossed them as well
I used TIM HOLTZ NEW sanding block to expose the CORE'DINATIONS core color
I used GLOSSY ACCENTS to adhere one side of the butterfly and the dragonfly
and used pop dots for dimension.

Spellbinders & Core'dinations card

I Used Black Magic Hocus Pocus & Spellbinders Butterfly Reflections Die
I cut and embossed them in the Cuttlebug
NOTE: The Pink butterflies are actually inside the card
on a piece of sanded Black Magic but I
don't have a pic of that to post :(
I will take one and add later :)

I lightly sanded the Black Magic, Used Vintage Retro Mod Squad & So Mod Papers for my card
I inked two of the buttons black and lightly sanded.

Cuttlebug,Core'dinations and Nestabilities Card

I Ran a piece of purple Coredinations thru the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy Embossing folder
Sanded it lightly exposing the lighter purple core color and mounted on a Core'dinating color paper
Then ran two pieces of embossed papers thru the Flower Creations Spellbinders/Nestabilities Die.
Lightly sanded the Flower Creations die pieces
Assembled the layers with the new Textured Trio Brads.

Core'dinations, Justrite Stamper Card

Embossed a brown piece of Coredinations from the Nostalgia Pack in the Cuttlebug folder

Lightly sanded the raised embossing to expose the lighter brown core color
I Took my Justrite Stamper and put in my Monogram..I LOVE THIS TOOL. You can do so much with this stamper!!! I inked my two color pad with pink and brown! I used the circle scalloped nestabilities to cut around my monogram

Put it all together and did a Thankyou for the next person that orders from my site!

Special Fold Birthday Card Using Nestabilities & Core'dinations

I made this today for Kevin's Birthday...the Card is very simple to do
and I loved using the cuttlebug, nestabilities and Core'dinations cardstock!
Here are the instructions......

Make an 11 x 11 inch square then fold in half. Score at 5 1/2" & 3" from both ends
then turn and score once at the top at 3 1/2 inches. Cut out the corners where your score lines meet and fold all your score lines
Fold the end scores into squares and glue the front to the back of the card
EXCEPT YOUR FRONT FLAP Square as your flap has to tuck into it

Put Core'dinations thru the Cuttlebug hearts embossing folder then lighty sand
Sanding the Core'dinations exposes the light blue core color in the cardstock. I used the Nostalgia pack to complete this card the two blues and green are from that pack...

Using the Heart Nestabilities and Core'dinations then lightly sanding to expose the inside core color

Using the NEW long rectangle Nestabilities for the layers
