Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Crossover Gate Fold Card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!

Both of today’s cards are intentional and will be going in the mail this week.  I needed a retirement card for our friend and “former” accountant who retired this year.  I also needed a thinking of you card for a friend who has been dealing with a lot lately. The Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper was a perfect choice with it’s gorgeous watercolor imagery for both masculine and feminine cards.

Let’s take a closer look at each of today’s cards.

You can see how this card got it’s name with the way the front panels “crossover” and open like a gate.

This card is quick & easy to create and proves you can still create a unique “WOW” card with a clean and simple design. I stamped my sentiment from Sunrise Sailing (Last Chance Product) right on the DSP and added a few die cut seagulls to the front. The DSP shines on it’s own! You have plenty of space for a message on the inside.

I added some DSP to the inside panels. These 2 1/2 x 4 pieces are optional and not in the measurements with the supplies. If this was a retirement card from a group you could easily use these side panels for extra signatures. The recipient of this card lives on the water and loves to take his boat out fishing most mornings. I still had some of the retired Gone Fishing DSP which coordinated with the colors so I added it to the sides. The sentiments from Notes & Totes is prefect for this retirement card.

I used the extra DSP from the 6 x6 piece to decorate the envelope flap to coordinate.

My second card shows a feminine version of this fun fold design.

I used the Words of Beauty Bundle to stamp & die cut my sentiment.

Create beautiful personalized projects with the Words of Beauty Bundle. This perfectly paired stamp and die set features a variety of heartfelt messages for any occasion, making it easy to add inspiring and elegant phrases to cards, scrapbook pages, gifts, and more. Express love, offer support, or simply connect with others using this versatile collection.

I love making “Just because” cards! You can put any sentiment on the inside and make someone’s day! “You’ve been on my mind” is a sentiment you can send to everyone!!!

For this card I added smaller pieces of DSP on the back of the panels that you see when the card is open. I also added flowers cut from the retired Thoughtful Wishes Dies. I love this simple sweet card & matching envelope.
