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.
