Summer is here! School is done and the hot sunny weather has arrived. So I thought I would share one of my cards from last month’s Stamp & Jammies online card class that featured Friends are like Seashells. This is such a fun stamp set! Plus all the phrases in it make it very versatile. This design is a gatefold card. It’s an easy fold to do and helps switch things up every once in a while. I’ve used it before for my daughter’s Harry Potter themed birthday party.
I wanted to use the Blue Adhesive Backed Gems so I went with Bermuda Bay as one of my colours. I used that for my card base and the gate part of the fold. For my other colour I used Crumb Cake. It’s a nice neutral, beachy colour. It also works great for the sea star and sand dollar stamps from the set.
On the inside I stamped a small seashell in Crumb Cake to have both colours on the inside as well as the outside. Then on the front 3 panels I used a combination of Crumb Cake and Bermuda Bay ink for the seashells and seaweed.
I framed the square shaped panel with some Bermuda Bay cardstock and adhered it with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals on one side. You definitely don’t want to accidentally lock your gate! Then to top it all off I added a few of those Blue Adhesive Backed Gems.
The gatefold card is so simple to make and looks really nice! Check out my YouTube channel for the step by step video for this card. I’ve really enjoyed stamping with the Friends are like Seashells stamp set. So be sure to check out all those videos.
