Simply Zinnia Mounted Double Gate Fold

I was wanting to make a sample for my Stamp Club that used the dies from the Online Exclusives Bundle, Simply Zinnia!  It's so refreshing to find a flower that I don't remember us ever having before! I found this sample that uses a Fun Fold that I haven't done in ages - the Mounted Double Gate Fold!! It's refreshing in that it doesn't utilize the bright colors of the gorgeous DSP, but the softer colors that coordinate with it! I just love it!



Measurements:    

  • Basic White: 4 1/4" x 11" (1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE), 1/4 piece (base), 3 3/4" square (circle), 2 5/8" x 4" (rectangle), scraps (flower)
  • Flowering Zinnias DSP (N) (OE): 2 pcs @ 7/8" x 4" (base), 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 4" (front "gates"), 2 pcs @ 1 5/8" x 4" (inside pcs), 3 1/4" x 4" (inside)
  • Petal Pink: scraps
  • Soft Sea Foam: scrap
To Make this Card:

  • Score long sheet at 2" - 3 3/4" - 7 1/4" - 9". Crease well with Bone Folder creating a Double Gate Fold.
  • Mount 2 narrow DSP pieces on either side of 1/4 piece.
  • Place Tear Tape onto back of Double Gate Fold piece.  Attach to base between DSP pieces.
  • Adhere the slightly wider strips to the front "gate" flaps. Attach the slightly narrower strips to the "inside" area.  And, lastly, add the panel to the inside.
  • Next, die cut the largest circle from the Everyday Details Dies.  Also die cut the largest Rectangle. Set aside.
  • Now, die cut the 2 "leaf" pieces from Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Add a little shading to the "veins" with Soft Sea Foam ink and a Blending Brush. Adhere together with "green" glue.
  • And, die cut one-each of the "flower petals" from White, and the "base and flower center" from Petal Pink.
  • Burnish a little color on the bottom flower, with Petal Pink ink and a Blending Brush. You can also add a little to the top flower, but not much.  Adhere together. I also shaped the top flower just a little bit.
  • Add flower center to flower, then attach all to Petal Pink "flower base", with a Dimensional.
  • Stamp sentiment in Petal Pink ink onto die cut circle. Attach "flower" to circle, and then tuck "leaf" underneath as shown.
  • Attach die cut rectangle to inside of card, and half of circle centered on card front.
  • Finish with Flat Pearl in center of flower, and scattered Rainbow Dots.
