Materials

2 A4 sheets JS Stardream Card – I used Citrine.
1 A4 sheet JS Gentle Gloss Photo Paper.
1 A4 sheet JS Red Mirri Card.
1 A4 sheet JS Gold Mirri Card.
1 A4 120gsm paper for insert.
1 Peel-off Sentiment.
Sticky Stuff – I used Double sided taper, Red liner taper, Aleenes Tacky Glue and Foam pads.
JS Nostalgia 2 CD Set – Christmas CD.

Optional – Nestabilities, Standard Circles Large for roundels. Nestabilities, Parisian Accents for border.
 

Step One

For the centre gatefold card, cut a piece of Stardream card 26cms x 20cms. Landscape orientation, measure, mark and score as shown.

Step Two

Cut a piece of Stardream card 29.7cms x 20cms. Landscape orientation and wrong side facing, measure, mark and score as shown.

Step Three

Fold the score lines to create side gatefolds and attach to the card as shown. I used red liner double sided tape. Before attaching, make sure that the gates are sharply creased and the gate is flat to the card. The red liner tape is attached to the 1.3cms flange which protrudes slightly from the side gatefold.

Step Four

Optional – Using 120gsm paper print out a matching insert. If you wish to use the interactive facility to add your own sentiment, how to do this is explained on the CD.

Trim the insert to fit.

Step Five

Using Gentle Gloss photo paper print out the largest topper and a set of three roundels.

Mount the topper on Gold and Red JS Mirri card. The mounted topper should measure 12.5cms x 16cms.

Mount the roundels onto gold mirri card. I used the Standard Circles Large Nestabilities, 3rd smallest circles and cut four circles, using one circle for the sentiment.

Step Six

Optional – Cut two Parisian Accents borders and trim to fit the side gatefolds. I attached using Aleenes Tacky Glue. Alternatively cut two strips of gold mirri card to fit and decorate.

Apply double sided tape to the back of the centre gatefold card and attach to the card centring it between the two side gatefolds.

Attach the three roundels to the front of the right-hand gate, ensuring that when the large topper is attached roundels will not be visible.

Attach the large topper to the front of the card and add a roundel sentiment if required.

This card will fit in a 22cms x 22cms envelope.
