Fun Fold Friday with this Gate Fold Tux card using Stampin' UP!'s Suit & Tie Dies! This is card is so much fun and the saying on the belly band could easily changed up to fit for other occasions! Be sure to watch my video below to see how I made this card!
The "Congratulations" comes from the A Grand Kid Stamp set, because I really like that font but any saying could work here that fits!
What makes this card fun is that it opens up and that happens because of the score lines to make it a "Gate Fold Card". I used the belly band to help keep it close and to be able to add a saying to it with ease.
You can order the dies as a bundle or alone. Click on the link below to take you to my online store and add this to your cart.
