Gate Fold – Welcome

Delicate Dreams Scalloped Wishes Thanks Card

I had some triangle pieces left from a different card I made so I came up with this design so that I could use them on this gate fold that opens in the middle. It uses the blue floral paper from the Delicate Dreams designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the Scalloped Wishes dies and stamps.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Hydrangea Hue card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Pear Pizzaz card stock (retired Stamp’ Up)
White card stock
Delicate Dreams designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Wishes stamp set and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Hydrangea Hue ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Bordered Ribbon Hydrangea Hue (2026-2028 In Color Stampin Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

To cut your card base take a piece of white card stock and cut to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 2 ¾” and 8 ¼”. Cut another white piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for the inside of your card. From the Hydrangea Hue card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” and cut on the diagonal into to halves. In your Delicate Dreams designer series paper pack find the blue and white floral piece and cut two pieces to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and a piece to 2 ¾” x 2 ¾” which you cut in half on the diagonal as well.

From the Scalloped Wishes dies take a scrap piece of white card stock and cut the large plain label and dragonfly wings. With some scrap Hydranea Hue card stock cut the larger scalloped designed label and four flowers (two sets of two), along with a dragonfly body. Take a scrap of Pear Pizzaz card stock and cut out two of the longer leaf sprigs.

Now we can assemble, starting with taking your white card base and folding each side in to meet at the center. Take the two rectangle floral pieces and adhere one to each side of the front of your card. Take your floral triangles and adhere to the Hydrangea Hue triangles and adhere one of each to the outside edge of your floral pieces.

With the Hydrangea Hue label, adhere it to the larger white label. Then adhere one of your leaf springs to the left side along with two of the flowers. Grab your Hydrangea Hue ink and the “with sincere thanks” greeting from Scalloped Wishes and stamp to the right side. With your Bordered Ribbon cut a piece and tie a bow and adhere to the upper right side of your label. Adhere the left side of your label to the left side centered in your card front. Adhere the dragonfly body to the front of wings and adhere the dragonfly to the upper right of your card, making sure it doesn’t interfere with your card label when opening the card.

For the inside of your card take the 4” x 5 ¼” Hydrangea Hue paper and adhere the 3 ¾” x 5” white piece to it and adhere to the inside of your card. Adhere the leaf spring and two remaining flowers in the lower left corner of the inside.

What a lovely thank you card for a girlfriend or work mate who does something you should say thanks for.

Painterly Pears Angled Gate Fold Card

This angled gate fold card evolved into a different card than it started as, but I am now happy with it. This Painterly Pair suite is quickly becoming one of my favorites from Stampin’ Up as I just love the colors, they fall right in my wheelhouse, and the papers are so pretty.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Petal Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Painterly Pears designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Perfectly Pears stamps and dies (Stampin’ Up)
Free as a Bird stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)

- Old Olve ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Black Momento ink (Stampin’ Up)

- Old Olive (light and dark)
- Mossy Meadow (light)

With so me Petal Pink card stock cut the back card base to 5” x 5 ½” and score at 3/8” and 4 5/8” and fold both side up and in. Cut two pieces to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and score both at 2 1/8”. Mark down 2” and cut your angle and do the opposite direction with the other piece. From the white card stock cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” and angle to match the inside angles.

Take your Painterly Pear designer series paper and find the white sheet with the pears and pink flowers, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” for the back of your card. Find the Petal Pink piece with the small designs and cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” and angle to match the front back panels. Now get the Petal Pink piece with pears and flowers and cut that to 1 7/8” x 4 ¼” and angle to match the front two panels.

With a scrap piece of white card stock and your black Momento ink, find the small pear outline stamp and stamp on your card stock. Then with Darling Duckling ink stamp the inside stamp to color your pears and give them some dimension. With your Pecan Pie Dark Blender Pen color the tree branch. For the leaves I colored them with the Old Olive Dark Blender Pen and then outlined the lower halves of them with the Mossy Meadow Dark Blender Pen. For the pears I blended colors from the outside lower edge in with Mossy Meadow Light, Old Olive Light and then Petal Pink Dark Blender Pens leaving the edges jagged instead of solid for more dimension.

Take a scrap piece of Petal Pink and die cut out a label that is about 1” x 2”. Adhere the pears to the left side. Take a label from the Perfect Pears dies and cut, then stamp the “A Good Friend is a gift” in Old Olive ink. Adhere that with pop dots to the right side of the label, overlapping the pears slightly.

Now start building your card by taking the Petal Pink card base and each of the Petal Pink angled pieces and adhere one of the angled pieces to each side on the two tabs. Cut the tabs where they hang out over the angle. Fold each side out at the score to form your angled gate fold. Now adhere your tag to the left front panel of your card with the other half hanging over the other panel (but not adhered to the panel).

Now open the card and adhere each of the white pieces to each side of the white pear paper. With the Free as a Bird stamp set and Old Olive ink, stamp the “your friendship means the world to me” greeting on the left white panel, and the “thanks for being you” greeting no the right white panel.

This card started with a belly-band wrapped in the Mossy Meadow and Gold Trim ribbon and a label on it layered with more stuff and it was just too much on the card so I changed it over to the label. You could still do a belly-band but I would keep it fairly plain if you do. I am now in love with this card and I always love gate fold cards.
