Floral Envelope Gatefold

Here's the other fold that I am in LOVE with at the moment!! It was our "Mystery Stamping" project/fold from my Retreat - Creativate, last weekend! This one uses the gorgeous, new Hues of Happiness DSP! The flowers are just awesome, and most have coordinating DIES that will cut them out for you to use!! I LOVE this feature that SU! gives to us!! Isn't it just beautiful..and a little more thought out! Can't wait to try a few more!

Measurements:

Night of Navy: 4" x 10 1/2", 3" square, scrap
Granny Apple Green: 1/4 sheet
Hues of Happiness (N): 6" x 6" (1/4 pc of 12x12), 2 pcs @ 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" (sm print), several die cut flowers and leaves
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"

To Make This Card:

Fold 6"x 6" pc DSP in half to form a triangle.
On the "fold" side of this triangle, make a score line at 1/2".
Score the Night of Navy piece at 2 5/8" from each end. Fold in to make "gate fold". Crease well. Add smaller pieces of DSP to these "gates".
Place this piece on top of folded triangle, with the long edge matching the fold. Center on card.
Now, take a pencil and make a mark on either side of the "gate fold" where the triangle extends past this piece. Remove "base" and trim with Triangle DSP scissors.
Next, add adhesive to INSIDE of "triangle" gluing both sides together to make one piece.
Add Tear n Tape to the 1/2" score line on the "triangle".and adhere to the back of the "gate fold" piece. Fold into place so that the point of the "triangle" follows the edges of the "gate fold". Crease well with bone folder.
Now, add the back quarter piece to folded card.
Cut large "flower" and 2 "leaves" from DSP. Attach to a stitched circle cut from the New Stylish Shapes. Attach to flap where desired.
Add White piece to inside of card. Add die cut flower and leaves as well as a sentiment in Night of Navy Ink..
Finally, I added an Opal Round to the center of the flower, and wrapped and tied a piece of new Woven Metallic Ribbon around the top, and tied in a bow..
Oh, I also helped hold the flap in place with 2 clear velcro dots.
