Gatefold Easel Card
I love both Gatefold Cards AND Easel Cards - so when I saw this card that is BOTH, I knew I had to make one! The original creator of the Gatefold Easel Card is Dayanna Donng - you can see her blog HERE and she has kindly given me permission to share this with you! (Thank you!) I've created my own version of it with a VIDEO and PDF below so you can see EXACTLY how it is done.The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock and the layers are Designer Series Paper so all of the "work" is in the cutting and scoring - and then of course, embellishing! I made this one for my High School Class President who planned our Reunion last weekend.
I tried to keep the "work" simple on the card while still making it "look" nice. Framelits and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine made that easy. All supplies are Stampin' Up! and are available in my ONLINE STORE. The PDF has a full supply list as well.

Step-By-Step Directions
1. Put an 8 ½" x 11" piece of card stock
into the Paper Trimmer and score vertically at 2 1/8" and then flip over and score at 2 1/8" from the other
side.
2. Turn card stock horizontally and score at 2
¾" and 5 ½".
3. Turn it vertically again. This time, put the edge
of the card stock at 2 ¼" - Cut from the top down to 5 ½". Flip the card stock and repeat it on the
other side. Then remove those pieces by either cutting with
a scissor or use your paper trimmer as shown in
the video.
4. Fold all your score lines and you'll quickly see
how your card will come together. Take the 4 panels of Designer Series Paper
you cut at 1 7/8" x 5 ¼" and adhere them to your card panels - inside
and out.
5. Adhere the 3 ¾" x 5 ¼" piece of Designer
Series paper to the 4" x 5 ¼" Crumb Cake card stock.
6. Put Sticky Strip on the bottom panel of the easel
- as shown in the video - and adhere the Crumb
Cake/DSP piece to the panel - MAKING SURE NOT TO
ADHERE THE TOP!
7. Attach a glue dot to a piece of Early Espresso
Stitched Ribbon and wrap around the inside piece of Very
Vanilla card stock - secure with a glue dot on
the other side. Adhere this piece to the inside of your
card. This will create the STOP for the easel
card.
8. Stamp "A Million Thanks" onto a piece
of Very Vanilla card stock in Early Espresso Ink. Stamp
"Fabulous is What You Are" onto a piece
of Very Vanilla card stock in Early Espresso Ink. Using the
Framelits - Labels Collection, center the Framelit
that best fits your greetings over the words and run
them through the Big Shot to cut them out. Cut out
a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock to border the
"Thanks" greeting for the front of your
card..
9. Use the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions
Folder to emboss the Crumb Cake cut out.
10. Sponge the edges of both of your greeting pieces
and your Crumb Cake cut out as well. Adhere the "Thanks" Greeting to the Crumb Cake cut out using sticky
strip.
11. Adhere the "Fabulous" greeting to the
inside easel card using SNAIL Adhesive.
12. Put 2 pieces of Sticky Strip on the back of the
Crumb Cake cut out/greeting - BUT¼only put it on ONE
HALF of the piece because you are only adhering it
to ONE SIDE of the card!
13. Decorate the points of the greetings using Pearl
Basic Jewels.
14. Punch out a piece of Calypso Coral card stock
with a 7/8" Scallop Punch and sponge it with Crumb
Cake Ink and a Stampin' Sponge. Adhere a Very
Vintage Designer Button to the punch out using Glue
Dots. Embellish the button with a Large Pearl
Basic Jewel. Adhere to the front of the card.
15. Spritz card with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz, if
desired.
