Zoo Crew Gate Fold Flap Card

By | 02/08/2023

Happy Wednesday, halfway through the week and preorder day for demonstrators! For the new September – December Mini Catalog, demonstrators get to preorder products early, just one of the perks of being a demonstrator. Look for some sneak peeks later in the month before the catalog goes live September 6, 2023.

This past weekend I saw a few of the cards, a gate fold card with flaps. What’s different about this card is the “spanner” or connector piece on the right side of the card.  The spanner is connected to the top and bottom flaps and the middle flap fits between.

Card specifics:

  • Card base 4¼” x 11″ and score each end at 2¾” (this is the gate fold portion)
  • Designer paper – 4 pieces 2½” x 4″ (2 outside – 2 inside) and 1 piece 4″ x 5¼” for the inside
  • Flaps – 4 pieces of card stock 1″ x 4″ and 4 pieces of designer paper ¾” x 3¾”
  • Die cut or piece of card stock connecting the top and bottom flaps
  • Top and bottom flaps adhered only on the left side
  • Middle flap adhered to the right side

Here is a close-up view that shows the “latched” section, not closed.

Next is a view of the inside of the card. I’ve added additional designer series paper on the sides and back. Largest of the Nested Essentials Die was used for the Basic White die cut for the inside greeting.

Finally, if you earned any $5 coupons in July, don’t forget to redeem them on your August order.
