Thanksgiving Gnome Slimline Gatefold

 

 

Thanksgiving is a little over a month away!  I'm actually looking forward to having our small, traditional family dinner...something normal for a change!  My card, however, is certainly not a 'normal' slimline card -- it does have a surprise element to it.  I kept it very simple, but there's so much you can do to embellish upon this card base!

For my card, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 8 wide" x 9 high" and scored 2" on each side which left 4" for the card center.   I then cut small panels for the front (2" x 4" for the cardstock and slightly smaller for the pattern paper).  Each small panel was then adhered to the front card flaps; the first small panel was adhered to the left, the next small panel to the right flap and so on leaving a 1/4" in between the small panels.  When the card is closed, the panels fit into each other.

For the inside, I cut one pattern paper with one of the Fancy Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies and brown cardstock with one of the Distressed Edge Slimline Nesting Dies.
