When I first saw the Jar of Love Bundle I wasn't a big fan. Although I love mason jars (after all, they a 'vintage thing'), I just couldn't envision anything I wanted to create with it.
But the mason jar – you know how it goes – one image gets you creative soul and you "must have it", right? Come on. Tell me you can relate?!
I purchased the Bundle. Not only do I like it, I've found it incredibly versatile! Not only are there images for all kinds of cards, but the greetings are fun and varied.
Today's video uses this Bundle and includes a fun, fancy fold. My friend and team member, Amber, designed a similar card, which is where I first go the idea. I reconstructed Amber's idea, changing the measurements and size of the card, which resulted in this new fold which I'm dubbing the mini tri-fold gate card. Thanks to Amber for her inspiration! I think this new fold is going to be a hit!
I've included cutting dimensions and more pictures below. I can't wait to hear what you think of this fold so leave me a comment!
I also have a PDF tutorial using this same Bundle in my Project PDF Tutorial library. One of the cards in that tutorial includes a fun gel technique. You can find it by clicking HERE and scrolling down to "Jar of Love Card Collection".
Cutting Dimensions
- Whisper White cardstock base is cut 4 1/4" x 11"
- Score the base at 3 3/4" and 7 1/2" (watch the video on instructions on the fold)
