Hi there. I’m thrilled to be taking part in the November My Monthly Hero Blog Hop. This month’s kit is fabulous.

I decided to make a few gatefold cards using the main images from the kit’s stamp set…
To create these cards…
1. I cut the card base to 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 and scored at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8. I trimmed a sliver off each side at the center because I wanted the gap to be a little wider.
2. I heat embossed the main images and trimmed them out leaving a small white border. I cut the shapes directly down the center.
3. I cut colored cardstock slightly smaller than the flaps and stamped smaller images from the same set using a coordinating ink color for a tone on tone look. I added a white mat around the pieces and adhered them to the flaps.
4.After adhering the pieces of the main images on each side of the opening, I heat embossed a sentiment and adhered it to only one side of the flap. It’s important to adhere it to only one side so that the recipient can open it easily.
5.I finished off the cards by adding some embellishments.
Gatefold cards are a fun alternative to a standard card. I made these for my son’s teachers for Christmas gifts. I put a gift card on the inside…
