Taking a break from my Love Box series, todays post is a beautiful card I found at Sam Calcott´s blog mixedupcrafts.com. As my title states, it is called a Concertina Gatefold Card, and it has a beautiful fold that gives it a rather stunning look. I decided to make one for my sister, Marianne´s birthday, and I had lots of fun making it!

I will try to show how I made it with pictures. OR, you can simply go to either mixedupcrafts.com, and look up "Concertina Gatefold Card, and you will find Sam's tutorial, as well as her video tutorial. If you would rather go to youtube, you can follow this link: https://youtu.be/0Riwi5yiRt4, and it will take you straight to it.

You will need:

2 pieces of 10″ x 7″ cardstock.

You can score along the 10″ side at 1″,2″,3″,4″ & 5″ or 5″,6″,7″,8″ & 9″ it really doesn’t matter as long as you flip one of the pieces around so they are opposite to each other.

4 pieces of 3.3/4 x 6.5/8 mirror card to decorate all the side panels.
