     Box Easel Gate Fold Wedding Card.
     Design and instructions for this card by 
     Yvonne Tune Card Art.
This Card is a new fold for me, something totally different, I added the box sides to allow the card to close neatly so you didn’t know there was decoupage inside, it has a surprize element as the easel drops down to reveal the easel
1.    Cut a sheet of A4 card 15cm by 30cm and score it on the A4 gate fold line, twice. Score it again, by placing the scored lines against the butt bar of the lid side of the box side of your crafters companion board, this small fold is to allow the decoupage to sit inside the card without getting Squashed. You need to this both sides.
    2. You now need to extend the gate folds so stick the 2 x 7cm by 15 cm panels either side of the gate fold, inside and outside for a neat finish. repeat this for both gates.
     3. Cut a sheet of A4 card 15cm by 21cm, and score A4 half fold line, give the scored line a nice tight crease with a bone folder, Score it again, by placing the scored line against the butt bar of the lid side of the box side of your crafters companion board, and score it on the first line. this small fold is to allow the decoupage to sit inside the card without getting Squashed.
   4.   Attach the smallest panel to the inside of the gate fold, at the bottom. To form the card floor.
   5.   The Scenery for the inside should be one picture cut into 3 panels, printed on the landscape, 28½cm by 15cm.
   6.   Cut your scenery outside panels 7cm wide, allowing you a middle panel 14 ½ cm by 15cm stick all 3 panels inside the card, stick a peel off down each box seam.
  7. Stick the 14 ½ cm Sq gold panel to the floor of your card, and mat the 14cm printed background to the gold.
  8. Cut a 8cm by 21cm panel and score it on the A5 concertina fold line and again on the A5 half fold line.
give the scored lines a nice tight crease with a bone folder, to form your easel, And attach it to the base of your card centrally,
  9. Mat and layer the gold and printed greeting to form the easel rest, stick this in front of the easel card to prop the easel open, it will need a double height of foam tape to make it high enough to keep the easel open.
  10. Mat and layer your cream and gold panels. Stick 2 strips of double sided tape to the bottom of the back of the gold card, and stick it to the easel
  11. Cut out your decoupage sheet and stick the main image to the cream and gold panels, Build up the decoupage layers.
  12.   Cut 2 gold panels 6 ½ cm by 14 ½ cm for the front gates,
  13. Cut 2 printed panels 6 cm by 14 cm and mat to the gold panels on the front gates,
  14. Mat and payer the punched scalloped oval Bride and groom on to the gold punched oval panels, and raise on foam pads and stick these either side of the gates,
  15. Stick the bows underneath each image, and finish off with the resin roses

      To make a box for this card

      which is 15cm Sq box card
1.      Cut a Sheet of card 21cm Square and score it on the 1st line of the crafters companion board
2.      Cut the 2nd sheet slightly smaller by about 2mm so the measurement will be 20.8cm Square, and score it on the 1st line of the crafters companion board, The box side of the board is to low in height on the 1st line and too small in size on the 2nd line, So this box is scored on the card making side of the board to fit the box just right for this card..
3.      Cut into each cross over scored line, and snip a tiny bit away
Give all scored lines a nice tight crease with a bone folder. and fold and stick the corners


4.     Repeat for the lid,  Decorate the box to match the card.
