Send some appreciation to someone with this bright and cheerful double gate fold card. This Delightful Wishes set is so beautiful and you can’t beat the Floral Delight designer series paper.

To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Daffodil Delight card stock
- Lemon Lolly card stock
- Crumb Cake card stock
- White card stock
- Floral Delight designer series paper
- Delightful Wishes stamp set and dies
- Memorable Blooms stamp set and dies
- Limon Lolly ink
- Daffodil Delight ink
- Old Olive ink
- Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
- Paper trimmer
- Bone folder
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop-Dots

With your Lemon Lolly card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 1 ¼”, 3 3/8”, 7 5/8” and 9 ¾” and fold up from the center and then out on the ends. Take a piece of White card stock and cut that to 3 ½” x 8 ¼” and score at 1 1/8”, 2 5/8”, 5 5/8” and 7 1/8” and fold the same with coming up from the center and out on the ends. Use a bone folder on all your fold edges to make sure they are folding flat. Then take your Daffodil Delight and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and two strips at 1” x 5 ¼”. With your floral delight designer series paper find the Forsythia paper and cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5”.

Now take your Delight Wishes stamp set and dies and the Crumb Cake card stock and cut two sticks with the stick die. Get your Old Olive ink, White card stock and the double leave stamp and stamp and die cut out 5 of them. Take more White card stock, your Lemon Lolly ink and the solid Forsythia back group stamp and stamp three of these. Then change the stamp to the Forsythia detail stamp and with your Daffodil Delight ink and light up the stamp and stamp on the detail over the background stamped items that you stamped in Lemon Lolly. Use the Forsythia die and cut out the three sets of flowers. Arrange and adhere one set to each and two leaves to each of the sticks. Find your White scored piece of card stock for your inside and with your Memorable Blooms stamp set stamp “I appreciate your thoughtfulness” on the inside as a greeting and then decorate with the remaining set of Forsythia flowers and one last leaf. Take a spare piece of White card stock and your Old Olive ink and stamp “Thanks so much” from the same Memorable Blooms set and use the small label die from that set to cut it out.

Now it is time to put all the pieces together. Start with your Lemon Lolly card base and adhere the Daffodil Delight 4” x 5 1/4 “ piece to the center and then adhere the Forsythia designer series paper centered on the Daffodil Delight piece. Then take the scored white piece and adhere one side centered to the top fold on each side of your Lemon Lolly card base which leave it floating up about ¾” from the back of the card. Find your two 1” x 5 ¼” strips of Daffodil Delight and adhere that over the white and the other flaps on each side. Then take you Forsythia sticks and adhere to each side, making sure they are not hanging over in the middle so that the card can close. Adhere the “Thanks so much” label to the lower right flap.

There is the Double Gate Fold card. You may want to incorporate a ribbon in to tie at the front to help keep it closed, but I think it being open is the appeal of this card.
