GATE FOLD

You will need one sheet of colored card stock for the base (Granny Apple Green or your choice of color), one sheet of Basic White and a Paper Trimmer.

Using your Paper Trimmer, cut one sheet of Granny Apple Green card stock along the 11" edge at 5-1/2 inches, we will only be using one-half of the sheet of card stock.

Score along the 8-1/2" side at 2-1/8" and at 6-3/8" with your Paper Trimmer.

After scoring your card stock, fold the two sides towards the center. Crease the folded edges using the bone folder for a crisp edge.

Using the paper trimmer, cut a 3/4" x 11" section off the second sheet of Granny Apple Green card stock.  This slim piece of paper will be used to create a "belly band" to hold the card closed.

At this time you should have the pieces shown to the left.

We will be attaching the smaller Basic White pieces to each side of the base card and the larger Basic White piece to the center of the base card with the glue of your choice.  

Here is the catch to today's Fancy Fold, we will not be finishing it until next Tuesday, August 1st.  Why?  On the first and third Tuesdays of each month we will be sharing stamping techniques for Technique Tuesday.  I will finish this card on Tuesday using our first stamping technique, sponging.

Be sure to tune in on Tuesday to finish the card and learn about sponging.
