Star Gatefold with Splendid Autumn
Welcome to Part 8 of my Star Gatefold Card Tutorial series! This card features gorgeous watercolor scenes from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper. When I was creating this card, I had Thanksgiving in mind, so I chose elements and colors that reflect a warm, grateful spirit.
I’m joining the Crafty Collaborations Team’s Share It Sunday Blog Hop. Simply use the BLOG HOPPERS links below for more inspiration.
About the Star Gatefold Design
The Star Gatefold is a unique and stunning card fold, ideal for showcasing beautiful patterned paper and creating an interactive experience for the recipient. This design style is perfect for beginners and experienced card makers alike, with a bit of guidance on folding and layering.
The Splendid Autumn Suite
The Splendid Autumn Suite truly shines in this project. The designer paper in this suite features hand-painted watercolor artwork, capturing the essence of fall with warm, impressionist-inspired scenes. The rich autumn hues pair perfectly with the copper accents on this card. Whether you’re crafting for Thanksgiving or simply looking to share a bit of gratitude, this suite offers stunning visuals and depth to each card you create.
Free PDF & Video Tutorial
To make this tutorial easy to follow, I’ve created a free PDF with step-by-step instructions, a template for measurements, and a full supply list.
I’ve created this step-by-step guide for you. It provides detailed measurements, a template and a complete with a clickable list of materials for both the card.
I’ve also included some helpful tips on how to extend your standard 8-1/2” x 11” cardstock to a 12” x 12” size for the card base.
Supplies I used
Plus, there’s a video from my class where I guide you through each step of the Star Gatefold.
Choosing the Right Envelope
For those wondering about envelopes, this card measures just under 6” x 6”. You can either make a custom envelope for it, or a 6” x 9” envelope will work well to accommodate the unique shape. Having the right envelope really completes the look and feel of the card when it’s ready to gift.
