Tuesday Tutorial - Small Square Peekaboo Gatefold Card with Bow Closure

As promised... back with the recipe and tutorial for the Small Square Peekaboo Gatefold Card with Bow Closure I posted on Saturday...

Slightly different version of the card for you today... though they do look very similar!... 

With the multicoloured starry Twinkle Twinkle papers on the front... and a Pool Party stamped star on the front... With the very lovely 1/2" Textured Weave Gray Granite Ribbon bow as the closure...

Mine is made from A4 card... so here are the standard 10.5cm Small Square card dimensions for you... with a conversion for you US Letter card size users too! 

So so simple... a must try! 

Card Recipe
A4 card 10.5 x 19cm (US 4 1/4" x 7 3/4")
Paper 10 x 3.7cm (x2) (US 4" x 1 1/2" [x2])
Inside Mat 10cm Square (US 4" Square)
Ribbon x 11" (28cm)

Card Tutorial
1. LANDSCAPE (ie long side along top bar) on trimmer.
2. Score 4.25cm (US 1 3/4") from either side (ie score 4.25cm (US 1 3/4"), turn 180 degrees, score 4.25cm (US 1 3/4"))
3. Bone Fold (the stronger your bone folding the better!!!)
4. Decorate as necessary

Note that I use Tear n Tape for sticking the bow... I find it stronger than using glue dots... and therefore the overall closure stays down better.... Though (with hindsight & thinking out loud) using 2 glue dots would probably work as well!!

Wednesday WOW! Peekaboo Gate Fold Card with Bow Closure with A6 Tutorial

As promised... quickly back to this "quick to make but WOW to receive" card fold...

We made one of these at Julie's Monthly Training... using the really pretty Petal Promenade papers which are in July's 4 for 3 Paper Sale promotion...

And I loved the simple little fold with it's bow closure... for which Julie was inspired by these cards created and shared here by Rachel Tessman in the USA... including her video tutorial for the US Letter/A2 version in inches...

So I made a few more in Broadway Bound and Twinkle Twinkle papers... some for this months customer Thank You cards and some for July classes... so I have a few to share with you over the next few weeks...

First up... a sweet little Twinkle Twinkle paper version... also in the 4 for 3 paper promotion... With the very lovely 1/2" Textured Weave Gray Granite Ribbon bow as the closure...

These are made from A4 card... so here are the standard A6 card dimensions for you... so so simple...

Card Recipe
A4 card 14.8 x 19cm
Paper 14.3 x 3.7cm (x2)
Inside Mat 14.3 x 10cm (not required on my Twinkle Twinkle version)
Ribbon x 11" (28cm)

Card Tutorial
1. LANDSCAPE (ie long side along top bar) on trimmer.
2. Score 4.25cm from either side (ie score 4.25cm, turn 180 degrees, score 4.25cm)
3. Bone Fold (the stronger your bone folding the better!!!)
4. Decorate as necessary

Note that I use Tear n Tape for sticking the bow... I find it stronger than using glue dots... and therefore the overall closure stays down better.... Though (with hindsight & thinking out loud) using 2 glue dots would probably work as well!!
