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.

Side Step 3D Save The Date Card

Hello everyone! Did you guys miss me at all? I have been MIA for a month now. I had a mini-vacation in Vancouver Canada where I used to live.  And where my family lives. I had fun checking out the popular Tourist destinations like Whistler, Grouse Mountain Resort and Capilano Suspension Bridge. I have been away for 1.5 yrs so I had to check out the changes.  I consider British Columbia, Canada my 1st home...and it is still beautiful. 




Okey enough of my boring story... Today, I would love to share with you a Side Step, 3D Save The Date Card. I have been receiving requests from my followers to design some flat cards and not only Exploding Boxes Invitations. I am a 3D enthusiast so I don't want to compromise that with my latest Side Step Save The Date Card.



This Side Step Card can be used as Wedding Invitations, Quinceañera Invitations, Birthday Invitations or a Table Number Card. It is very unique and your guests will appreciate the effort that was put into a Handmade card like this one. 

Tutorial and Template for Side Step Card

  1. Start with a 8” x 4” of cardstock. Using a craft knife, make a horizontal slit 1½” down from the top edge, starting at ¾” from the left and extending up to 6”.
  2. Score vertically at ¾”, 1½”, 2¾”, 4” and 6” as shown on figure above.
  3. Fold by mountain or valley fold line. See figure below.
  4. Decorate. Done!


Also I just want to share some photos of my escapade in BC, Canada!
