Triangle Gatefold Windmill Card - a case

 I cased this card fold from a video made by Stephanie Nash, a Canadian demonstrator. It is a different version of the traditional gatefold card.


1. Score a 5 1/4 by 12" piece of Flowering Fields DSP at 2, 4, 8, and10 on the long side.

2.  Fold inwards at 4 and 8" (mountain fold)  and then outward at 2 and 10 (valley folds)



3.  On both edges of the scored 5 1/4 by 12" DSP piece, measure down 2 1/4" from the top and make a small pencil mark. 

4. With the trimmer, cut from the pencil mark to the top of the 2"and 10" score mark. This cuts out a triangle piece.  Keep this piece.

5.  Adhere the triangle pieces to the bottom of the front panels. 


6. Score a 4 1/4 by 11" piece of Poppy Parade card stock at 5 1/2" to form a top fold card.  Add this to the card front.

7. Cut a piece of Basic White at 2 1/2 by 2 1/2".  The image is designed on this.  Mat with a 2 3/4 by 2 3/4" piece of Poppy Parade card stock and adhere only the right side to the card front at an angle matching the edges of the card.
