Gate Fold Photo Tutorial

I had posted a card sample of a “Gate” fold using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on February 21st but I never gave directions on how to make the card, so I thought I’d post another sample of the “Gate” fold today with a little photo tutorial. 
 
 
Start with a standard 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base.  Make a little pencil mark at
2 3/4″ on both 5 1/2″ sides of the card stock.

 
Now, insert the card stock all the way into the punch (you’ve got to wiggle and squirm it in there).  Now line up the little pencil mark with the middle scallop and punch.

 
This is what it will look like.  Do this on both 5 1/2″ sides of the card stock.

 
Place the punched card stock on the Paper Trimmer and carefully trim off the pieces above and below the scalloped area.

 
With the scoring blade, score the scallop tab and fold it back.
 
Turn the card stock around and line up the left edge of the card stock at the 4 1/4″ mark and score.  You now have the completed card base and you’re ready to stamp and embellish it as you choose.
