Triangle Gatefold, Two Ways

 Hi Artzy friends -

Did you know that Cindy Sartain goes live on Facebook on the Dare 2B Artzy page almost every Monday at 7:30 p.m. Central Time? Her video is always full of great inspiration and tips (and sometimes sneak peeks) using fabulous Dare 2B Artzy products! 

If you watched on May 3rd, you saw her share how she makes triangle gatefold cards; and she shared the written dimensions and assembly directions in the Artzy Community Facebook group. Request to join the group if you are not already a member. You can find the measurements in the files. 


Because I love trying new-to-me fun folds, I created two triangle gatefold cards - a slimline version, and a mini-slim version. 

My slimline card features images from the Seas the Day stamps and dies sets, as well as paper from the Seas the Day collection


On the inside I adhered the white dotted rectangle and the sentiment strip from the Wavy Slimline Framelits die set.


I created a belly band to hold the card closed, mounting my octopus and stamping my sentiment on two diecuts from the Wavy Squares Framelits.


My mini-slim card features images from the Crafty Gnome stamp and die sets, and paper from the All the Buzz collection. 


On the inside I used the new Slim Mini Wavy Layers dies to cut the two layers on which my sentiment and additional images are displayed. 


I created a belly band for this card as well, again using the Wavy Squares Framelits for my main image and greeting. 


I also created my own matching slim-mini envelope with papers from the All the Buzz collection, using Dare 2B Artzy's brand new Slim-Mini Envelope dies! 


Don't you love presenting a card/gift that's all color coordinated?!



I hope you will tune in to Cindy's Facebook live's on Monday evenings, and if you can't watch her live you can always catch the replay any time!

There is still time to enter Dare 2B Artzy's challenge for the month of May. The theme is Flowers, and you can earn a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the Dare 2B Artzy store. 


Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

    1. Thank you so very much! They were fun to make! (After I may or may not have cut my triangles on the wrong side of my paper.)
