Hi all, today I'm sharing how I made this Floating Gatefold Halloween Card featuring Stamping Bella Halloween stamps and sentiments. Halloween is one my favourite holidays to make cards and home decor for.
Supplies:
Black card
Halloween themed papers
Scoring board and bone folder
Stitched circle die
Precision scissors
Adhesive
Embellishments (optional)
How to:
Stamp the Trick or Treater characters onto white blending card, colour using your preferred medium, then fussy cut around the outlines.
Set aside to work on the card.
Cut black card:
Card base - 5.5" x 7"
Large panels - 5.5" x 2" (x2)
Small panels - 5.25" x 1.5" (x2)
Floating mechanism - 4.5" x 1.5" (x2)
Belly band - 1.75" x 10"
Cut white card:
Sentiment strip - 0.5" x 3.75"
Cut designer paper:
Large panels - 5.25" x 1.75" (x2)
Small panels - 5" x 1.25" (x2)
Centre panel - 5.25" x 3.75"
Greeting panel - 4.25" x 3"
Turn to the short side and score at 0.5" to the intersecting 0.5" score line, and from the 6.5" score line down to the edge.
Score both floating mechanisms on the short side at 0.5" and 1"
On the card base, cut across the 0.5" score line and then cut diagonally to the inner score lines.
With the inside of the card facing up, fold in on the 1.5" score lines and then fold back the 0.5" score lines. Crease well with a bone folder
Apply adhesive to the 0.5" sections then, keeping the score lines pressed flat, adhere the large panels down, lining up the outer edges with the edges of the card base.
Apply double sided tape to the underneath of the inner 0.5" section. Line up with the bottom of the card and adhere approx 1/8" in on the designer paper. Repeat on the opposite side.
Apply adhesive to the top of the pull mechanism and adhere the small panels - lining up the bottom and outer edges
Stamp the sentiment onto the white card strip. Adhere the greeting panel towards the top and then adhere the sentiment across the bottom.
Centre the belly band card across the front of the card then fold both ends around to the back, leaving a little bit of wiggle room so that the band can slip on and off easily. Apply adhesive on each end and secure together.
Cut a 3" black card circle and a 2.75" green paper circle. Adhere them together then adhere the Squidgy WITCH using foam tape/dots.
Apply glue to the centre of the belly band and adhere the circle panel to it.
