Dog Themed Gatefold Card

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog! This card started out as a Gatefold, but I went off the rails a bit. 😂  After creating the teal gatefold card base, I grabbed a water coloured looking notecard from my stash. I cut the front away from the solid white back with a stitched rectangle and did the stamping. Then I realized the panel was going to be pretty big for my card base.

While I could have created a 5 x 7" gatefold card instead, I decided to persevere and this is what I came up with. I love the dog image from Picket Fence Studios, and the funny sentiment is from Riley & Company - their Funny Bones line. I had ordered several Funny Bones stamps back in early November. 

Inside is where you can see the teal gatefold. I also added a magnetic closure! One magnet is on the front and the bump is hidden with a heart sequin. The corresponding magnet is under the dog bone on the right flap.

The inside center panel was adhered with a cardstock spring - these are from Sam Calcott - she uses them in several of her videos. I used a long one down the centre of the panel so it has some movement.

I hadn't kept track of which of her many video's I got it from, so spent some time yesterday morning searching through them to find a link for you. Whew - here it is!  

A couple of times last year, I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
