Octagonal Gatefold Pop-Up Card

 Wow, that title is a mouthful... Octagonal Gatefold Pop-Up Card. 

I found a tutorial for this card here. The great thing is that there are no special dies needed to make this card. 

I chose a set of papers that I love. This card is all about angles and cutting off the corners to create octagons. Since the card itself is quite complex, I kept the decorations simple. I used ephemera for the belly band and also for the inside. I embossed a sentiment and stamped splatters inside as well. There is a panel on the back to write a message. 


Enjoy,

  2. Wow is right and ditto for this card. Fab job. Thanks for the link. I will save because I actually have some huge nested octagonal dies and I'm not really in love with those little squares that fold in, haha. We'll see. I actually have to attempt it first, lol. XOX
