Reverse Gate Card featuring the Signs of Santa Bundle and Santa's Workshop DSP

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I feature a reverse gate fold card using the adorable Signs of Santa Bundle and Santa's Workshop designer series paper. I like the reverse gate fold card as it highlights the central panel allowing the image to really pop out when on display. With normal orientation gate cards the central image is hidden behind the folds. The Signs of Santa Bundle is wonderful. Santa, Mrs Claus and their elves have so much personality and the other image match perfectly. See the link to my online store at the end of this blog to purchase this bundle and the other products featured in my blogs. To make this card you need cardstock and paper cut as follows: Real Red or Poppy Parade cardstock 11in x 4 1/8in. Scored at 2 3/4in, 4 1/8in. 6 7/8in and 8 1/4in Basic Black cardstock 3 7/8in square. Basic Black cardstock 2 panels at 3 7/8in x 2 1/2in Santa's Workshop DSP 3 3/4in square Santa's Workshop DSP 3 3/4in x 2 3/8in Whisper White circle 2

Start with a piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock cut to 5 3/4 inches x 8 1/2 inches (this is half an A4 sheet for convenience). Score lengthways in half and at 2 inches, 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches in the opposite direction Cut to centre on each vertical score line and removed the smallest flap as below. This makes a tab for gluing. Construct card by gluing tab to opposite end and folding down 3 of the four flaps. Cut 4 pieces of spotted Lovely L
