Double Gate Fold Pocket Card

I have been seeing MANY versions of a Double Gate Fold Pocket Card. This is my first go at one, designed by Lisa at Made to Create with Lisa. I've made this type of Double Gate Fold many times, but adding just a couple corners and an insert, and it makes for a totally different card! This one is a Christmas theme, and uses the Home for Christmas Bundle along with the Creative Celebrations DSP in the current catalog. This was really fun. I've since found a couple of other versions, that I plan to try and share as completed.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1/4 sheet, 2" square
Basic White: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" (base), 3 1/4" x 4" (inside), 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 4 1/8", 1 7/8" square, 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" (tag-arch), scraps (gingerbread boys)
Creative Celebrations: 2 pcs @ 1" x 4" (base), 1 3/4" square (Hydrangea Hue Dots), 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 4" (White Plaid)
Real Red: 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" (arch)

To Make This Card:

Layer White and the 2 Hydrangea DSP end pieces to the "Postcard" base. Set aside.
Score the long piece @ 2 1/8" - 3 3/8" from each end. Crease well, creating "gates".
Adhere center of this piece to the center of the card base.
Layer the Plaid DSP pieces to the corresponding White layers. Then, adhere to the front "gate" flaps.
Stamp sentiment in Real Red ink onto White center insert. Then, adhere to inside, center of card.
Next, take the 3 squares of cardstock and DSP, and cut each diagonally. Then, layer together.
Place 1/8" Tear & Tape to short sides of the triangle pieces. Remove backing and adhere to front "gate" panels, as shown.
Now, for the Insert.
Die cut one arch from Real Red, and another from White using the Everyday Arches Dies.
Mask the word "Joy" from the stamp in the Bundle and ink up with Real Red ink. Remove mask and stamp onto White Tag. Then, add to Red tag.
Punch 1/8" hole, and add ribbons as shown.
Lastly, stamp 2 "Gingerbread Men" in Crumb Cake ink on scrap of White Die cut with Corresponding Die. Add to "tag" with Dimensionals.
Finish with new Sparkle Sequins.
