Butterfly Gatefold

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a Gatefold card to share with you today using dies from Crafter's Companion.

Recently Crafter's Companion released 5 Layered Gatefold Edge die sets, these looked so interesting that I decided to purchase 4 sets. I will probably get the other one too, but I will wait and see how I got with what I have first. These die sets include dies to die cut the fancy die cut edge. the patterned paper and two label dies to add to the centre of the die. By cutting your layer 1/4 smaller than the width of the gatefold panel, you are supposed to get perfect layering.

For my card today I used the Stylish Mosaic Layered Gatefold Edge die set to create a basic 5 x 7 card, but there are so many different ways to use these dies which I am looking forward to investigating.

I am not sure if these would work on an A2 sized card, as the patterned paper is pretty narrow at the centre of the side of the card and this is 5 inches wide. Different designs may or may not work better for that size, but I am happy making 5 or 6 inch wide cards.

 I decorated the front of my card using the Spellbinders Delicate Butterflies die set.

As you can see I added coordinating paper to the inside of my card, and then layered the labels to the centre of the card. The sentiment on the label is from MFT Stamps.
