Twisted Gate Fold Card Details
Fun fold cards provide a unique way to open and close a card and this twisted gate fold won’t disappointed. The two diagonal panels provide “movement” to the outside layer which houses the adorable image from the Stampin’ Up New Wonders stamp set. Here’s a tip about this fun fold card- choose an image that will look favorable when rotated. Since the panels twist, the image will pivot.
The facial expressions on these images have stolen my heart. The New Wonders stamp set includes three different images and numerous greetings.
Twist open the card front to reveal the inside panel, perfect for your handwritten message. Another added bonus to this stamp set is the ability to build your greeting. Change out the ‘thank you’ for one of the other three appropriate phrases and you’ll cover a large selection of card themes.

I used the Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers to color in my image. If you’re new to Stampin’ Blends, I have an entire video series on using them that provides lots of tips and tricks.

Cutting Dimensions
- Cardstock base is cut 4 1/4″ x 7 1/2″, score at 2 1/2″ and 5 “
- Score the card base left and right panels, between the center score lines on an angle, corner to corner. Create both angles in the same direction.
- Perennial Essence Designer Paper is cut 2 1/4″ x 3 7/8″ and then cut lengthwise diagonally. You’ll need two sets if you want to cover both the top and bottom layers of this fold as I have.
- Thick Whisper White cardstock for the image is cut 2 1/4″ x 2 3/4″
- Blueberry Bushel cardstock layer for the image is cut 2 3/8″ x 2 7/8″
- Whisper White cardstock insert is cut 2 1/4″ x 4″
I used the same fold and the Floral Essence stamp set for this alternate idea. To achieve the two-tone blossoms, ink the image using Petal Pink ink. Using a sponge dauber, add color to the tips of the petals using Rich Razzleberry ink.

Hello Lisa
I just wanted to say how very much I joy thing listen and learning fom you, very explicit in showing andexplaining in detail the why’s and wherefores.
I feel confident that I can do them, I am going to start on the Twisted Gate Fold Card, I always thought it would be difficult but watching you I realized as long as I achieve the scoring correctly I will be okay, I have done some of your other folds and feel I may be making quite a few .
Again Thank you

Hi Kathryn! I’m so glad you enjoy what I share. Thank you for following me. Fun fold cards can be intimidating when you look at them but most of the time they are very easy to create. You can do this!
I love all your videos. I have learned so much. I share many of your techniques with the ladies at the Cancer Center here in Fort Wayne IN and donate get well and sympathy cards to the center. Love all the fun fold cards because they fit in regular envelopes. A2 size. They are always such a nice surprise. You always make my day.
Thank you so much.
