Christmas Greetings Double Gatefold Card Tutorial
A Festive Fold That Wows
There’s just something special about a card that opens in an unexpected way!
This Christmas Greetings Double Gatefold Card is part of my Gatefold Fun Fold Card Series, and it’s a show-stopper for the holidays. I designed it using the Stampin’ Up! Christmas Tags & More Mix & Match Specialty Paper— a unique paper assortment filled with full-sheet patterns, cut-apart elements, and precut images that make coordinating your projects a breeze.
It’s perfect for both beginner and experienced card makers who want to create stunning handmade holiday cards without all the fuss.
Easy Coordination with Mix & Match Elements
The poinsettia, wreath, and foliage die cuts from the specialty paper pack pair beautifully with the festive plaid designI used for the background. These ready-to-use pieces make layering and designing quick and effortless — no stamping required!
For an elegant touch, I added gold foil mats to highlight the focal point and framed the front with a Gold Hoop for extra shine. The gold foil sentiment comes from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, which adds a polished finish that perfectly complements the warm holiday palette.
Coordinating Envelopes Made Simple
To tie everything together, I used the Christmas Greetings Memories & More Card Bases and Envelopes. These pre-printed card bases and coordinating envelopes match the specialty paper pack perfectly, making holiday card making faster — and more fun!
