How to Make an Ornate Gatefold Card

April 11, 2026 by Heather Holbrook

How to Make an Ornate Gatefold Card

Check out this stunning card from Lynn! It’s a gatefold card with an ornate twist that has a swirly die cut flap edge, beautiful flowers, great texture and some touches of gold. For the base she started with yellow cardstock, running it through a large dry embossing folder, swiping white ink on the raise areas and then folding it for the gatefold style base. For the top flap she masked off a bookmark stamp, just leaving the row of pretty Poppy flowers and stamped them on a die cut wavy panel edge, coloring them with Zig Clean Color Markers. She also stamped and added some little bees and a strip of gold glitter paper along with gold gems.

Inside is a scalloped and inked die cut edge panel stamped with more bees, a gold heat embossed sentiment and more gems. She tied the card closed with sheer white ribbon.

You can watch her video tutorial over on the Art Impressions blog.
