Gatefold Cards

Pop-Up Gatefold Cards

Hi everyone, recently I shared how to make these Pop-Up Gatefold Cards.

This is a fun take on the normal gatefold style, with the triangular sides and hidden pop-up piece.

These are a 6 x 6 size, but you can easily adjust the measurements for any size card.

I love this cute birthday version using one of my favourite paper pads of all time, the First Edition, Let’s Celebrate pad.

The pop-up feature is optional, but its a great extra surprise and the perfect space to have a hidden message.

It all folds flat and is held together with a belly band.
