Twisted Gatefold Series Part 4: Simply Elegant

SIMPLY ELEGANT TWISTED GATEFOLD – PART 4 OF 4

This is the final installment in my Twisted Gatefold Series with the Simply Elegant Twisted Gatefold. These 2 cards were created with the Stampin’ Up Simply Elegant Suite. The words are from the Elegantly Said stamp set, punched with the Elegant Tag Punch. The Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper is striking. These will make great masculine projects and great for birthday, congratulations and more occasions.

See more details below, and instructions on the video from part 3.

PHOTOS

The Basic Gray designer paper makes a great masculine card. I layered the Elegant Tag Punch over the Layering Circles.

 The words are stamped in Smoky Slate ink from the Elegantly Said stamp set.

This is my favorite pattern from the Simply Elegant Specialty Paper and I just love how it looks with this fun fold. I loved it so much, I didn’t want to add anything else to it so the paper would be the star of the show.


The other twisted gatefold cards I’d created in portrait mode, but this one I switched it up and created it in landscape orientation.

  
The words are heat embossed in Copper to match the Copper foil.

The envelopes for these cards were created with the same Simply Elegant Specialty Paper. I added the Smoky Slate Textured ribbon to one of the envelopes and left the other plain. A hand delivered card would be beautiful with the ribbon, however if you were sending it in the mail you’d need to leave the ribbon off.
