Arrow Flap Greeting Card Details

Who knew a simple piece of designer paper could spruce up a gate fold like this?  Whether creating Christmas cards for friends and family, looking for an invitation layout or a fun fold for any occasion, this arrow flap greeting card is easy and impressive.

This arrow flap greeting card has a cute reindeer as the focal point

Isn’t this reindeer image adorable? I used Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers to color it and added a few dots on his back using the White Chalk Marker. Not only does this marker add perfect details, it’s great for fixing stamping mistakes. If you missed my video about this chalk marker, CLICK HERE.

You can see the designer paper behind the vellum cut circle on the arrow flap greeting card.

Use small images in a stamp set to produce simple and quick backgrounds. This retro inspired snowflake is perfect for a tone-on-tone background. And don’t forget the glitter gems!

Open the arrow flap greeting card to find a gate fold card underneath!

The arrow fold lifts up and the gate folds open to the side revealing the perfect area for your to stamp your sentiment and write a message. I included additional snowflake images on the inside layer and flaps.

'Sharing Christmas Cheer' is the greeting I hand stamped on this arrow flap greeting card
