Gate-Fold Custom Invitations

Hi Guys!   I know, its been a long time since I have blogged.  I miss it!  Sometimes life and business gets in the way, but I know I need to spend more time blogging.  A bunch of my readers have requested a Fun-Fold Card invitation.  Here's a Gate-Fold custom invitation that can be personalized for any event or occasion.


Gate-fold invitations are tri-fold card.  It has 2 side panels and a center panel.  Each of these panels can be customized with images, wordings, maps or anything else you desire.



For example, Quinceñeras can list their court names on one side panel, and the  map or directions on another,  On the center panel, along with a photo of the gorgeous girl being honored, you can add the formal invitation wordings, like I have done in this example.

But you are not limited to this layout.  For weddings, you could include maps, church information, etc. You could even include a charming or romantic poem...


The outside of the invitation can be adorned with embellishments to suit the mood of your event, custom logo's,charms, satin ribbons, bling (crystals, rhinestones, etc). This is a stylist design for DIY Wedding or DIY Quinceañeras. 

With creativity, you can add RSVP holders, seals, vellum and more.


This invitation is designed to engage your guests as the interact by opening the panels and learning more about your upcoming event. It is an invitation anyone would be excited to receive and will have your guests looking forward to your event until the big day.

Hope Fun-Fold card inspires you today.

DIY 3D Envelopes - Flashback Sunday


Hello everyone! Today I won't be sharing a Card or Gift Box project. Instead, I decided to share my  DIY 3D Envelopes project.  Both the latest design and the original. For those of you who love to make 3D greeting cards like me, I know you can relate when I say most of the time we discover we don't have envelopes that will accommodate the thickness of the beautiful 3D cards we've created. 


I created these 3D Envelopes to package my latest Pop-Up Invitation with 3-Tier Cake Design. This was a Custom Quinceañera Invitation and my client wanted a 3D Pop-Up with a Pocketfold and a 3-Tier Cake. I think I did justice with the final outcome. But yeah, Pocketfold Invites are too thick to fit in a regular envelope. 


I love how they turned out. The additional embellishments at the corner adds glamour on the packaging invites. 


Here's a sneak peak of the Pop-Up Invitation Pocketfold Card with 3-Tier Cake. I will be posting more about it in the coming days. I would blog more often, but Jinky's Crafts Invites is swamped these days. It's very humbling and heartwarming.. Birthday Teens love my creations. 



These 3D envelopes are the ones I made when I was still Designing for Crafter's Companion.  I am re-posting just to share the How To's.  If you spare a little time and if you have the Enveloper / Envelobox board of Crafter's Companion, you can easily create a 3D envelope. 


A chart is available here with a guide on envelope size and thickness. 


This 3D envelope was decorated  with the Sheena Douglas Christmas Stamps





That's it my friends, you can now add elegance to your 3D greeting cards by using a 3D Envelope. Make DIY envelopes that will coordinate perfectly with your handmade 3D card creations. You will be happy with the result. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope I inspired you today!
