GATEFOLD CARD WITH BELLY BANDS
MEASUREMENTS

- (2) 2 x 5-3/8" Panels (Use the Kit Slimline Card Base Cut to This Size)

- (1) Die Cut Thoughtful Expressions for Sentiment & Bunny (Basic White Cardstock)

INSTRUCTIONS
Fold card panels inward until they meet. Get a crisp edge and proper gatefold line up by smoothing the score lines with bone folder.
Stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink at the bottom of the sentiment die cut. I chose "Happy Easter" from the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit stamp set.
Glue panels to the gatefold card front on each side.
Fold the scored side of the belly band and then wrap the band and fold on the other side. This helps to make sure it isn't too tight. Get a nice score line with your bone folder. Secure band with strong adhesive.
Glue 3 leaf die cuts to the largest die cut where you just stamped Happy Easter. Place the bunny & chick die cut over part of theleaves on Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finish with 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat.

Adhere your DSP Panels.
For the stamping: stamp Bunny in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Stamp bunny on the masking paper and fussy cut. Place the mask over the stamped bunny. Stamp chick next to bunny slightly overlapping. Color with Stampin' Blends: (use the die cut bunny/ chick as a color guide)

- SU1000 (lightest flesh tone shade in the Natural Tone blends or Petal Pink combo) - Inside of Ears and Nose
- Chick

- Wild Wheat Blends Combo
- SU1000 (lightest flesh tone shade in the Natural Tone blends or Petal Pink combo) - Beak and Feet
- Outline
- Pool Party Dark & Color Lifter
- Grass
- Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo
Stamp "there's no bunny like you" from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set next to the bunny's head in Pecan Pie ink.
To create the fun fold: take the rectangle piece and add adhesive only to left side of the rectangle so you can adhere it to the side panel.
NOTE: DO NOT put glue on the entire piece or your fun fold won't work.
Add the inside panel to the card. The inside panel should line up with the front fun fold piece. My tip for this is to add your adhesive to the back of the white piece and then hold it up to the front rectangle until it aligns and then set it down on your card. Gives you a perfect line up every time!
Glue to the stamped image to the layering die cut and then add to card on dimensionals. Place a little glue under the die cut and press your ribbon down so only the tails peak out from the side.
Finish with Neutrals Sequins in Bronze.
