Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s use our double-sided pattern papers today to create a fun, whimsical, and colorful gatefold card! By using the Ai Easter Bunny Paper Pack (6036) we will have all of the coordinating papers to create a gatefold card that will have pretty patterns on both the inside and outside of the card.

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Un-Bear-ably Cute!” Blog Challenge which is to create any card or project using a bear! So, I thought we would use the cute Ai Valentine Bears Set (5005) and we will be using the little bear with the string of hearts for our focal image today! We will also use some bees from the Ai Honey Bee Set (5925).

Let’s stamp and color the bear and bees using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pink Haze, Lt Pink, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Haze Blue, Flesh Colour, Beige, Mid Brown, Warm Gray 6.

Next, we will create the frames, flaps, and panels for this fun gatefold card … and I will show you how to create all of these pieces and give you all of the measurements in today’s video. The hardest part is selecting the pattern papers that you will want to use for each of the sections of the card. We will be using the Ai Portfolio Template Die Set for the scallop frame and to create the two flaps on the front of the card. I’ll show you a little trick for hiding the tabs on the front flaps and I’ll also show you a trick for lining up the frame on the inside of the card perfectly with the one on the front of the card!

We will stamp a few cute sentiments using the Ai Panda Set (5821) which will say “bear hugs” and “I like you beary much”!

Let’s assemble the card and add our cute little bees for a bit more interest and whimsy! We can also add some clear glitter pen to the wings of the butterflies and the string of hearts.

As a finishing touch, let’s add some sparkly gems in gold dust to the front of the card!
