Instead of the glimmer star, the card is kept closed with two antique brads.
You can make a gate fold card with an 8 1/2" x 11" or a 12 x 12" piece of cardstock. To recreate the card above, use an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock. Using your Paper Trimmer, cut it in half vertically. This yields 2 pieces that are 4 1/4" x 11" each. Rotate 1 piece sideways, so that the 11" edge is at the top and the 4 1/4" edge is on the side. With the scoring blade, score at 3" and at 8 1/2". This is the base of your card.
Cut four 2 1/2" x 4" pieces to make the Hello Honey DSP mats. Attach to the outside left and right panels and to the inside left and right panels on the card base.
Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock for the inside center. Stamp the sentiment "day after day, year after year" in the center. Attach to the center panel inside the card base.
Cut a 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" piece of watercolor paper to stamp and watercolor the deer on. Stamp the deer, grass, tree, and butterflies. Using the aquapainters, color in the deer, grass, tree, and butterflies. Allow to dry.
Cut a 3 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of Cajun Craze cardstock for the mat around the watercolor. Once the watercolored, stamped image is thoroughly dry, attach it to the Cajun Craze mat.
Cut a 1 3/4" x 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock for the sentiment on the outside. Stamp the sentiment "To someone who is great to be around..." in the center.
Cut a 2" x 1/2" piece of Cajun Craze cardstock for the mat around the sentiment. Attach the sentiment to the Cajun Craze mat.
Position your watercolored, stamped image and sentiment in the center of the closed card base (as photographed above). Once you are satisfied with the placement of each, apply SNAIL Adhesive or Liquid Glue to ONE side of the stamped image and to ONE side of the sentiment. Attach both the image and the sentiment to the card base.
