 Hey everybody it's Sam here thank you for watching my tutorial today so I'm going to be showing you how to make this double lattice gatefold card. So this one has evolved after I made the lattice card maybe a week ago, two weeks ago by the time this one goes up and you'll see here you get this beautiful lattice or plat or weave kind of effect here on the left hand side and then you can open up the card you can see all of that in there as well and you don't have to put the ribbon through. If you missed this video if you just click here it will take you to that one if you like that style. So I was playing around and I decided to basically see how it would work doing a double and after you see this you can really look at all of your cards that you've made in the past and if there's a fold you could add a lattice effect onto them so I think it's going to really transform some of the more simple cards even like an easel card. Anything that has a fold you can add this lattice detail and I really like this one so I've done a new template because this is a slightly different effect you'll see here you've got this longer section whereas on this one here it goes straight into kind of the the crossover piece there whereas if I take that bit away you can see the crossover effect there so you've basically got this additional effect and it just came together really well I made this during a Facebook live and then I added some extra score lines so that now when you open this it then pops out like this and if I just bring up you've got that lovely heat embossed sentiment and stamp I'll show you everything I've used I've used these little gems all the way down the sides there and also just a few on that just to say and then on the back I've just got hello so it's just to say hello and then you've got room to write your message you can do all sorts of this you could fold it that way if you wanted to and then have it open like this so it's displayed that way you can have it obviously this is how I'm going to have this one so you really get to appreciate all of that lovely detail and I said imagine if the sunlight kind of comes through that if it's on someone's window so I just think it's going to create a lovely pattern and I think it's really unexpected for the person when they open it so don't be you know I'm worried with this one I've broken it down and once you've got your templates it's really easy to do so let me show you how okay so I've gone ahead and done all of my stamping and I've coloured and everything because I just really want to focus the video on the template and then what I would advise you to do is photocopy it if you've got any of your software like your cricket your brother scouting cut then you can design it in there and then you could just keep it saved and print it out it's entirely up to you but for anybody who you know doesn't have a photocopier doesn't have the technology or maybe know how to do it because I'm not that great to be honest I like a good user paper and pencil this is what you're going to make you so you want two of them so you may have to draw two if you you know you can't photocopy them but they are photocopies but I'm going to make one with you now so we'll remove the score books I don't actually need that for the minute so you want to cut yourself a piece of 2x7 I'll get rid of that one so it's not confusing okay so a piece of 2x7 get yourself a ruler and a nice sharp pencil okay what we do first of all is we want to pop your ruler along the top here and you'll see it's two inches you're going to mark at half an inch one inch and one and a half okay and you're going to do the same along the bottom so you're going to mark at half an inch one inch and one and a half you then want to join those lines up now you do want to make sure that you it's why it's good to have a sharp pencil because you want to get those lined up perfectly if you're going to be if you're slightly off might affect the overall finish of the card because some of your cuts might be a bit wonky so okay then you're going to pop it along this side lie your ruler along the top and you're going to mark it every well first of all actually if you put a little marker at half an inch and at six and a half in between the half inch and the six and a half you want to mark it every quarter of an inch so I'm just going along there just marking every quarter of an inch and I'll take a photo of this and I'll pop it on my block so you can see it close up and print it off yourself if you want to okay so every quarter of an inch then come down to the first line and actually what it will be good to do is what I've done during the live is mark it half an inch and six and a half along this side as well and just join up those half inch markers you can scribble this but out this is basically going to be the piece you fold over the top of the card and the bottom just to hold it all in place so just kind of mark those bits off you don't need to worry about that area then come down onto that first line and again you want to mark it every quarter of an inch and you're going to join up those two quarter inch markers so you create these lines so again make sure you get them spot on okay so quarter of an inch markers on the outer side quarter inch markers on the first line and then on the next two lines you're going to mark it every half inch again I'm just going to lay the ruler down there and I'm just going to mark it half an inch and then bring it down and again along that one every half an inch okay so I'm just bringing up a bit closer there so along here you've got every quarter of an inch this first line every quarter of an inch this one every half an inch and this one every half an inch then what you want to do so I'm going to start from the bottom as you're going to join up like so now I'm wondering well you can go along and do all those lines if you want but what I'm going to do is actually stop you start from this very bottom one here actually pretend this is the same as this you're going to come across here to the second score line which is going to be your longest lines okay so just come from the very bottom of this section here up to that line then this one you're going to go up to the first line so you'll see there I've got one short line and one long line the next one's going to be a long line then a short line long line short line and you're just bringing up all your long lines will always meet on your second one here all the short lines will always come to the the second so your long lines to the third line your short lines to the second line but again you might want to just go along and do all of these first so these are nice and straight and then go from there it's entirely up to you during the live I done them separately like one by one so that one's going to be long that one's going to be short this one's going to be long and then short along so if I just bring it up again okay so the very bottom one here from the first line I'm going to go to the third line with the first marker and then this one you're going to the second line with the first marker so you're just following where you put all your points so again I'm just going to continue joining all these dots up so it's like playing dot to dot when you get to the last two you're just going to join again whatever's next so done with short ones the long line would just go and finish at the top of this line here and then this one will finish at the top of that second line okay and that is your template so you'll need to do that twice or you can now go and photocopy this like I said you know scan it or you're doing this you know on the on your computer so I've already got my templates here I marked one two and three just for the photos that's line one nine two line three again if you want to go back and watch that live I will link it in the description box below so now we've got our templates we can prepare our card so I've got this lovely yellow color I'm actually going to do the same card that I did during the live because I have pretty much half of all the paper left so I wanted to get that used rather than put it into my scraps so this is a piece of 12 by 6 and along the 12 inch side you want to score at 3 and at 9 now I have also got these extra score lines but I think I'm going to show you how to add those in at the end but if you do want to make it exactly like I have here so basically these extra score lines are these ones here if you don't add those score lines then it will just be a nice gatefold and it will open up like that and that will be flat and it would be displayed you know with that edge flat and then the sides just open but if you want it to because the idea is you can put it in the envelope like that and then they just open it like this and that's adding these extra ones so I will do them actually but you don't have to so you can get two different styles if you add another score line at four and a half and at seven and a half then you'll have the same card as me okay so I'll just go over them again so you'll score at three four and a half seven and a half and nine okay next you just want to fold for the minute I think it'd be easier just to fold I'm gonna go that way the three and the nine score line so just make sure everything lines up nicely okay so now we have our gatefolds you'll see that's just what you would have if you didn't add those two extra score lines now you want to grab your template and a couple of clips will be handy I've just got these bulldog clips here and you're going to run this left-hand side along your card with the half-inch folds folding over the top and the bottom so I'm just going to fold that one over like so and then pop your clip in this section here because you're going to be cutting all within this make sure it's nice and tall and it lays perfectly over that card again with that edge running perfectly along the side there and then just fold that back over and then again pop your clip there next you want to get yourself a nice pair of sharp scissors where they've got a nice point on the end that's quite sharp on the end there that will mean that you can snip right to the very end without it kind of splitting the card apart if I was to use for example these scissors here see they've got kind of a rounded end they would actually they wouldn't work with this project unless you cut all the time within this section here if you cut right up to the edge it would just break the card of parks it's too thick these are nice and thin these are the Tim Holtz Tonic Studio and scissors these are the seven inch ones again if I can find them I'll link them below next you want to start from that very first line which is the longest line and you're going to cut it if you can do it in one kind of cut that'll be good and you're going to cut it right up to the end of the pencil there okay then this one you're going to cut across and then up to the first line she just following your pencil mark and then again cut across again try and do it in one cut each time and I'm just cutting to each of those lines if your pencil goes over the line try and cut to the line because then they're all the same so I'm cutting you know you got these three lines here that's where I'm kind of cutting to so I'm slipping there and then across to there so just do that all the way along and also on this side but I'll stop after this one and just talk you through the next side just to make sure you get the template on the right side now when you get to the second to last cut here you're actually going to remove this whole corner but make sure you keep the card okay so keep that piece there you can get rid of the paper but keep this piece because you're going to use that again in a minute so now we can remove this and you can throw that away get your second template now this one you actually need to cut it from the back because otherwise if you just lay it down on here or even turn it upside down you're going to have a different finish you see or it's going to be exactly the same in terms of its direction and you don't want that so you actually want to keep it the same way up the right way but flip it over and lay it on your card and just fold that one over and put that one in place and then pull it nice and tall and fold it over and then just cut it exactly the same as you did this side or you'll have something that looks like this and you should have two pieces like this next open up the card and you want to flip it so that you have these arch pieces facing you and a start on one side first now what you want to do is you're going to miss the first section so you're going to skip this one which is your shorter side or your shorter piece you want to go to the bigger ones and it's the bigger ones that you're going to fold back each time so I'm going to fold that one back on itself and if I just bring that up you see how that's just folded back then you're going to miss the small one and again you're going to grab the larger one and fold it back and it should line up perfectly over that small one there you see when I lay that down and if I bring it up closer you can see that I've just folded it down and it will sit on top of this one here so again every other one and I think it's easier first just to pull out all the longer ones and fold them and once you get kind of going with this I would recommend a softer cardstock if it's the first time you're doing it this is a 220 GSM this is Tonic Studio 12 by 12 card and it's just nice and soft to be able to put all these folds in I have done those other ones with a 300 GSM and it worked but it did take a bit more work to actually work the card to fold like we need it to and then you'll see the top one there fold over so right now you've got all these it's like an optical illusion it looks really cool what you want to do then is just fold it or clip each one under the one that is sat on top of and that will hold it in place now if you want to tack it with some glue you can but I haven't all I've done is added a little bit of glue where we do that one once you fold it they don't they're not going to come out and we're going to burnish this in a minute you can see I'm just popping each one underneath the one below then grab your bone folder and just go along all of those folds so they're nice and flat okay next you're going to grab one of these and we're going to add a little bit of glue just along kind of the bottom in the corner just there and there okay just a little bit and then you're going to just pop it underneath and then line it up with the end of the card but make sure that score line in the middle of it lines up with the score line running through the middle of your design we're going to snip into that a little bit in a minute I just bring that up so you can see and in a minute we're going to cut into there so we get the same pattern okay so I'm now going to fold all this side and stick that and then I'll show you how to snip that away in a minute okay so now we're going to fold the card in half now if any of your bits move up see some of mine have just push them or kind of squeeze them together so they all sit within and then just burnish them we're going to cut the end one minute so don't worry too much about that one I'm just going to pinch them together and that's where you might feel actually you want to add a little bit of glue there but I think once you burnish them into place they don't go anywhere nice now you can see we've got our lovely fold and you really get to appreciate kind of two designs really you've got the folded half and then you get the full design when you open up the card and with the bottom piece here what you want to do is you're going to cut along this piece here that it sits next to so just cut along to the end there I just bring it up you see and then just follow the same kind of angle as this piece here you see so again do this once you're going to just cut along and then I'm just going to follow the angle there okay so just get rid of those bits again you'll see when it's open now you get that same design running from the top to the bottom so now that's all that's left to do is decorate now you can also burnish those other score lines out so they will run right up to your design so all the ends of those cuts I'm just gonna fold that over and again this one here now the card might feel quite flimsy I mean again I am using that softer lighter weight card stop but once you add your mats and layers it soon starts to strengthen the card so now you'll see you get this effect like so that's if you want it like said you might want to decorate it this way tidy up to you so I'm going to do that way so I have this piece here now to decorate all of the card I have used the card making magic papercraft society kit number 18 and I've just used the papers that came in there I've used the just for you or just to say sorry stamp here along with this beautiful love this flourish here and that's what I've used and then I use the stamp cubes that come with the kit as well and I colored it in and then the hello is from this die here you've got the hello die you can see all these other ones that you've got using those in future videos and then the papers so I used one of these sheets here to decorate as well so all that away again our link everything in the description box so this piece here is two and three quarters by five and three quarters and that is going to go in the middle I've got the same size which is going to go on the reverse and then I have four pieces of the white card here which is one and a quarter by five and three quarters and then the pattern paper is one by five and a half and they're going to go on top and these will go on your two sides here and also on the backside so I'm going to get all that stuck down and then I'll show you how to add your gems are these gorgeous faceted iridescent holographic whatever you want to call them pearls were from B&M and I picked them up from filming this I picked them up about a week ago from B&M so hopefully you will have them available in yours but you'll see now it just really does add some sparkle on the sides and then I'm just going to finish off where did I put them on this one here so I had a large and a small and it was a medium she gets small medium and a large so we do the same arrangements of pop that one there and then down here like so those are both the cards so like I said you can have it in the envelope like this you can have it in the envelope like this and because you put the fold in it naturally just kind of pops out so I'm not sure whether I'll put them away like this put them away pop in the envelope these are just some shot brought these were dovecraft ones from the dovecraft basics you can see the colors I can move color I thought it worked really well but they fit perfectly in your envelope there I just think they've turned out beautifully so I hope you've enjoyed this double lattice gatefold card for me today I've got tons of ideas on how to use this lattice effect so this is definitely not the last of the cards I probably end up doing a lattice folder playlist on YouTube so check that out as well if you're maybe watching this maybe in a year's time who knows there may be a lot more for you to see as well and if you've enjoyed today's video check out the videos popping up now I'll put the other lattice one there if I haven't popped it along the top there also be some other videos that you might enjoy you want to see and again if you've enjoyed today's video please hit the subscribe button hit the notification bell and that way you'll be notified every time I upload a new video and I'll be back again very soon thanks for watching bye
