Funky Flowers Gatefold Card

This lovely gatefold card design can be used for any occasion or simply as a notelet.

Funky Flowers Gatefold Card

What you will need to make this card:

  1. A6 white gatefold card blank
  2. Decorating chalks
  3. Sponge dauber
  4. Funky flowers – patterns
  5. Corner peel off stickers
  6. Sticky foam pads
  7. Craft glue

How to make:

Use the sponge dauber to chalk all over the card blank, use a light base colour smudged all over and then a darker co-ordinating colour to make a sponged effect on top.

Make 3 x 3D flower embellishments using flowers from the funky flowers pack. Take a large flower and using sticky foam pads layer another large flower on top twisted round and then layer a smaller flower on top of that.

Using craft glue stick one of the flower embellishments to the top left of the card blank, another to the bottom right of the card blank and the third to the centre of the left flap of the card blank so it overlaps the right flap but is not actually stuck to the right flap.

Finally use peel off decorative corners of your choice in the top right and bottom left corners of the card.

White Car Great Dad Card

The occasion has not been specified on this card and so it can be used for Father’s Day, for a birthday card for Dad or just to tell your Dad how great he is! Change the peel off word from ‘Dad’ to something else like ‘Uncle’ or ‘Brother’ to make the card for another relation.

Shown below is the finished card, further down there is a picture taken at an angle to show the decoupage layers.

Silver/White Car Great Dad Card

Items used to make this card:

  1. A6 Luxury Pearl White Card Blank
  2. White pearlised card
  3. Die-Cut Decoupage Sheet – Cars
  4. Family Mix 1 Peel Off Sheet – Silver for the words ‘To a Great’
  5. Family Mix 2 Peel Off Sheet – Silver for the word ‘Dad’
  6. Sticky foam pads
  7. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

Directions to make:

Measure and cut out a 13cm x 2cm strip from the white pearlised card.

Remove the words ‘To a Great’ from the silver Family Mix 1 peel off sheet and the word ‘Dad’ from the silver Family Mix 2 peel off sheet. Stick the words spaced evenly along the white card strip using a ruler or a straight edge to ensure you apply the words straight.

Push all of the image ‘C’ sections out of the decoupage sheet. Turn the card blank to landscape / tent fold orientation and using sticky foam pads layer the decoupage sections onto the top centre of the card blank.

Finally stick the peel off wording card strip to the bottom centre of the card blank using more sticky foam pads.
