Hello Harvest Offset Gatefold Card

Fun folds, like this offset gate fold card, are a great way to feature designer series papers, especially with larger prints and scenes. The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper in the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog is perfectly suited. It has larger patterns with fall squashes and gourds and large chrysanthemums that could almost fill the entire card front. 

 

You can cut the designer series paper piece in one continuous scene or cut three individual strips of designer series paper. For today's card, I cut the designer series paper in a large panel and then cut it into three individual l pieces to create continuous scene. 

The offset gate fold card is similar to the regular gate fold card. It keeps the same card base, but the front opening is moved to one side. You can move the opening to the right or to the left side of the card. You can hold the card vertically or horizontally, like in today's project.

The card closes by securing the left tail of the banner underneath a grouping of three sunflowers. I adhered the sunflowers in a cluster to a small scrap of cardstock to reinforce the strength of the closure. The card functions without the reinforcement, so the extra cardstock underneath the sunflowers is not essential.
