Here’s a version of the gate – fold card that Linda Bauwin showed me at Leadership.  What a great way to show off both sides of the pretty Sycamore Street Designer Series paper!  I wrote up my version of her instructions for the fold and you can find them here.  (It’s not the entire card – just the fold.) 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Madison Avenue (SA
card stock – Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP
Ink – Island Indigo
Etc – Simply Scored tool, Scallop circle punches, Sycamore Street button and ribbons

Hope you’ll give it a try – it’s fun!  Hugs, Fran

Measurements for Tag Tin

I’ve gotten quite a few requests for the measurements on the tags and the insert for my little tag tin project –


The finished tag sizes are 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 (long tag) and 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 (both small tags)

To make the insert, start with a piece of card stock that is 4 3/4 x 6 1/8.  Score at 2 1/2, 2 7/8 and 3 1/4.  This will give you the center fold to divide the box in half. 

To make the piece that divides the right hand section in half, start with a piece of card stock that is 2 7/8 x 1 3/4.  Score at 1/2, 7/8 and 1 1/4.  Fold it and adhere the flaps at the center of the side section. 

Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Several of you asked for a little more information on this card –



It’s a 4″ x 12″ piece of Kraft card stock scored at 4 and 8 1/8.  The shorter side folds to the front.



Slice an angle from the front starting at 1 1/2 inches up the side.  The striped ribbon works as a belly band to hold the card together.  Hope that helps!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

To make the card you cut your Blush Blossom cardstock to 5 1/2 x 11 and another piece 4 x 5 1/2. Score the 5 1/2 x 11  at 4″. 7″ and 10″ and attach the 4 x 5 1/2 piece to the one inch end.  This creates an accordian fold in the center.

Use your 1 3/8″ punch on one side of the fold, close the fold and punch again exactly over the first punch.
