Hi there!
It's Franci here and I'm so happy to be back on the Mama Elephant blog today, with this cute gatefold card..

First of all I created my cardbase by cutting a piece of white cardstock that's 8 and 1/2 inches by 5 and 1/2 inches and folding it at 2 and 1/8 from each side.
Then I cut another piece of white cardstock that's 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2 and inked it up to create a custom scene for my critters.

I cut this panel at 2 and 1/8 and glued my 2 panels onto the front panels of my cardbase. You could also decorate the front of your gatefold card directly if you're using a very thick cardstock.
Then I stamped my images from the You Raise Me Up set, colored them with copics and die cut them out with their coordinated dies.

Finally I stamped my sentiment inside the card - I chose one of my favorite from the Inside Birthday Messages set.
I added a couple of sequins here and there and the card is completed!
Thanks a lot for stopping by today and have a lovely day!
Franci
