Sweet Crazy Love Gate Fold Card

In keeping with my New Year's Resolution to try out some nifty folds, I've used a Gate Fold for this card, using my trusty Scor-Pal. Everything is marked for you on this awesome tool designed by our very own Diana Crick. It just can't get any easier than using the Scor-Pal. All the guess work is taken out of it. I actually made this card to enter in the January Blog Hop, but after purchasing the Onsie at Hobby Lobby, and deciding that I could stamp and color on fabric if I heat set it, I made the Onsie which is in my previous post...look for a tutorial which will be coming soon!

Here is what the front of my card looks like...

Here I've used some scrap DP from my stash and paired it will some Basic Black. This little cutie is #3022 Love Laces Shoes Tilda. She is available from Diana at the Magnolia-licious shop. All the images I've used here are currently available in standard size and Mini. AND they are on sale for a 17% discount! Now that's a great deal!

I've also used a JustRite "Stitched with Love" circular image and it's all colored with Faber Castell Pencils. I paper pieced Tilda's clothing to match the background paper. I also used a Doohickey Swirl Die which is also available from Diana. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are a Marianne Die.

Here is the card opening up...

The card opens up to reveal three key holes, made using Spellbinders Labels 21. In the center is #280 Tilda Loves Flowers. She is also colored with Faber Castell pencils. On the left I have paired the Magnolia Vintage Key with a computer generated sentiment. On the Right I cut a heart using Spellbinders Classic Heart die and added the little silver heart which is from the center of key. The key was cut from some shiny metallic silver cardstock. I just added a couple of "O" rings to make it into a little charm to hang from my ribbon.

Here is #280 Tilda Loves Flowers up close and personal. I have used Distress Inks tattered rose and weathered wood to shade around Tilda. I used Stardust Stickles along the hem of Tilda's dress and Glossy accents on her shoes. You can't even see the shine on her shoes in these pictures.

Thanks for dropping by...

Blessings and hugs,
