Angled Gatefold – Bauble Blooms

Angled Gatefold – Bauble Blooms. Bauble Blooms is another online exclusive introduced in July. The stamp set has an elegant floral design to make your own Christmas ornament. There are dies to cut out the different elements for the bauble too and can be purchased as a bundle to save 10%.

The angled gatefold card overlaps, unlike a traditional gatefold which meets in the middle. I created a belly band to keep the card closed and adorned it with the stamped bauble, and also die cut another for inside the card too.
