Center Pop-Up Gate Fold Card

This is not a normal gate fold card! The card stands up on its own with the center image popping right out of the card!  It is way easier to make than it looks with the step-by-step instructions and tips I have to share with you in the video!

Choose YOUR favorite stamp set!  You can use anything as the focal point that pops out of the card.  Use the coordinating die set or you can cut it out with scissors!

I used stamps to decorate the paper.  Using the same color of ink as the cardstock gives a subtle image that doesn’t detract from the main image. 

Alternatively, you can use Designer Series Paper for the panels on the front of the card and on the inside!  All of the panels are the same dimension, so you would need 2 for the front and 4 for the inside.  Make sure to adhere the DSP to the inside BEFORE adding the pop-up mechanism.
