Lisa Ann Mensing: Faux Shaker Gate-fold Card

Hi and welcome! Today I'm sharing a Faux Shaker Gate-fold card, that's a mouth full. This card is super simple. Over on the Honey Bee Stamps Facebook Page - Buzzworthy Challenge it's all about the patterned paper, and I do love me some patterned papers. And as luck would have it, I purchased the Honey Bee Stamps 6x6 Paper Pads a few months ago. Hello, there's my sign, right? I've linked the Buzzworthy Challenge page just in case you want to join in the fun. Now, let me tell you how easy this card is to make.

HOW-TO

Create gate-fold card using 5.5" x 8.5" piece of cardstock score 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
