[Video]How to Make a Fun Artbooking Gate Fold Cricut Card

I saw this sneaky gate fold card on youtube and had to try it myself.  

Why is it sneaky?  Because although it looks like a normal gate fold card, it isn't.

I call it the "faux gate fold card" - check it out below:

How did I make this?  I have a video showing below how to do it. 

Here are the written instructions (it's really easy!!):

1) Cut card base at 7-1/4"x 4-3/4" and score at 4-3/4"
2) Cut top square piece at 7-1/2" x 3-3/4" and score at 3-3/4"
3) Cut panel pieces as follows: you will need TWO 2-1/4"x4-1/2" pieces and ONE 2" x 4-1/2" pieces to make the panels for the base of the card and the inside.  You will also need a 3-1/2"x3-1/2" piece to layer on the inside square layer.
4) Apply panels.
5) Add square piece, centered on card base.
6) Decorate.

Now, how did I decorate it?
I used the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge Bundle (which you can buy HERE) which you can see below. 

I made the following cuts with that cartridge:

Now, because I was using real dial size, the image above wouldn't layer properly without using the Cricut Craft Room.  

So, I cut the image shown above in various colors of glitter paper and just peeled off the pieces I didn't need. Then, I hand pieced it and glued it together (see video for more detail).

On the inside, I used the Happy Autumn Stamp set shown below (click HERE to purchase) along with olive and goldrush Close to My Heart inks (click HERE to see more about inks).
