Next she came up with this really clever gatefold design! When you open it up...
The frame divides in half with that little card overlapping, to reveal another sentiment inside!
Inside she used the single rose from "A Year of Flowers" and this sentiment for "Say it With Flowers", I just love how all three of these sets work together! To make this gatefold, score your cards base at 2 1/8" on each end of your 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" CS. Then stamp the frame two times and cut one in half(you'll use the LEFT side of this one), then cut other down the middle and around the left side of sentiment card (you'll be using the RIGHT half of this one). When you mat and adhere these to each side they will line up! Then color as desired. If you never made or seen a gatefold, it likes opening up a present, I just love how bouquet unfurls, you can also use your bow to hold it closed and untie. Great job, Selma!
