Gatefold Love Filled Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends!

While Valentine's Day may be behind us, there are countless opportunities ahead to celebrate love. The card I'm sharing today is ideal for the upcoming wedding season, serving perfectly as a wedding invitation, bridal shower note, or heartfelt thank-you card.

CARD RECIPE

Background - Vintage Flourish Stencil

Frame + Heart - Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies

Scalloped half circle - Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies

Roses - Bold Backgrounds: Vintage Roses Dies

Sentiment - Mailbox Memos Stamp Set

Embellishments - Vintage Pearls- Pearl Stickers

This gatefold card began with die-cutting the scalloped frame from the Lace Heart Layering Frames. I then masked the scalloped edges and added Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the Vintage Flourish Stencil. Once the paste was dry, I sliced the panel down the center and set it aside.

Next, I die-cut two of the half-scalloped circles from the Lovely Layouts: Posted Dies, the scalloped heart from the Lace Heart Layering Frames Dies, a few of the roses and leaves from the Bold Backgrounds: Vintage Roses Dies that I trimmed and pieced together. I then assembled the card front onto a 4 x 11-inch card base, scoring it at 2 3/4 inches from each end, once folded will create a gatefold card base. I trimmed the base slightly smaller than the front so that the scalloped edges would be more visible.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a couple of sentiments from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this Gatefold Love Filled Card. Until next time... Happy Crafting!

Mandala Gatefold Wedding Wishes Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday friends, hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

With wedding season starting soon, I thought I would share with you how I made this gorgeous gatefold Wedding card using some new products from the Happy BEE day release.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I created a gatefold card base by cutting the cardstock paper to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Scoring and folding at 2 1/8 and 6 1/4 inches. 

I then die cut both pieces of the Mandala Honey Cuts and also kept the center negative die cut. For paper, I used a pale gold heavyweight cardstock from an old paper pad I had. I then adhered the large Mandela die to a piece of vellum I had cut using the largest Double Stitched Circle Cuts and then sliced the two pieces right down the middle and glued them on to the card front panels, trimming off any pieces that hung over the side edges of the card.

On the right flap of the gatefold, I glued the centerpieces that I had left over from the Mandela Dies.

I then create a simple band to slide and hold the card together, using some vellum and white ribbon and the adding the Wishes Script die from the Wish Honey Cuts set that I die cut using the same pale gold cardstock.

On the inside, I thought it would be fun to finish off the wishes sentiment with a rhyme to the bride and groom using the Mr. and Mrs. Stamp set. "Wishes, hugs and kisses, to the new Mr and Mr.s"
