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.

Below are the measurements and supply list for this Hello Harvest offset gate fold card.

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.

Scooting Santa Gate Fold Card

When I first saw the 2018 Holiday Catalog, I was immediately smitten with the So Santa stamp set! Santa on a Vespa with sunglasses zipping along delivering presents, Santa at the beach getting ready to surf, and Santa baking cookies - what's not to love?! Needless to say, So Santa was top on my must haves from the Holiday Catalog!

I created a Gate Fold card highlighting the diagonal plaid pattern from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper Pack. Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper has more linear, traditional patterns with plaids, checks, stripes, grids, and wooden planks that radiate the warmth and comfort of home.

The color palette is more subdued neutrals with bursts of Cherry Cobbler. The coordinating colors are Mossy Meadow, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, and Gray Granite mixed with Whisper White and Very Vanilla, making this a very versatile Designer Series Paper Pack.

I echoed a similar color palette on the Santa on the Vespa image with Stampin' Blends. I did not blend the Stampin' Blends on this card; I used them like regular markers and simply colored the darling Santa image.

A row of holly leaves and berries adorns the top of the inside of the card, keeping the remainder of the inside blank for a special Christmas message.

Gate Fold cards make great display cards! I can imagine this card sitting proudly on my mantle all winter long. I know your loved ones will treasure your card creations like this too!

You can find the measurements and a supply list at the end of this post.

Thanks for stopping by!
