Week 43 – Smoky Slate
Tonight’s fancy fold design has been around for a while now, and I’ve finally had a go creating one! I am using the What’s Cookin’ Bundle (soon to retire 😢) so if you want it buy it, be sure to do so asap.
I started with a Smoky Slate card base for my Double Pop Up Gatefold design. Now that my card has a baking theme, and it is something I love doing with my girls, I thought it appropriate to use the heart pattern (Sweet Talk designer paper) from the 2022 Jan-June Mini catalogue. Real Red is one of the colours in these papers, so that is what I have used for my matt layers.
Firstly, I folded and glued the mechanisms into the card, one at top left and one at bottom right.
Once I had all the cardstock layers cut (you can find the measurements below), I stamped the images in Smoky Slate and Real Red ink and die cut some out with the coordinating Cookin’ dies, before gluing all the layers together and placing them onto my card.
I love how these stamps have that distinctive look to them!

I so love your card Kate. The pop up panels inside the Gate-fold card is amazing. Upright colour scheme is delightful with smoky slate. Knowing the link to your cooking with your girls makes this card special. Xxx

The colour combo you’ve used looks bright and cheery and looks great with the DSP and stamps you chose. The Fancy fold is amazing too.
