Gate folds are a classic fun fold, especially if you're just getting into card making or are looking to advance your skills a little further. We loved decorating the card with the bright Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and the Balloon Festoon Bundle!

Project Details & Inspiration
We started with a Berry Burst Cardstock card base, then adhered five strips of Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper across the front for a fun striped background. Our focal panel came together by running Basic White Cardstock through the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder, adhering it to a Berry Burst Cardstock mat, and adding a piece of Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper along the side before popping the whole thing up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The Smile sentiment was stamped in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White Cardstock, die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies, and layered on with more Dimensionals. We tied a sweet little bow with the Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon and glued it right next to the sentiment, then scattered three 2026–2028 In Color Butterflies across the front to finish things off!
Supplies Used on This Project
We used a mix of classic Stampin’ Up! favorites and a few fun new releases to bring this project to life. From richly colored inks to perfectly coordinated paper and embellishments, every product helps you create professional-looking results with ease.
