- A lot of us have way too much designer paper on hand in our studios don't we?! One EASY way to use more paper is make BIG cards!! Here is an example of 3 cards BIG vs basic A2 size. See what you think! These will require "Non-machinable" stamp addition in the USA.

We would like to thank John Deley and the 41 Players for the use of their music - "Dixie Outlandish (Sting)" - for our intro and outtake.
Julia thankyou for the beautiful double gate fold card, I love it, I also love the closer you made. It is a great idea. 🐞🇦🇺
Nina - These are fun to make and BIG!!!
Thanks so much for sharing those great card ideas and closures
Hi Linda - You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy making some soon!!
Very pretty cards👍. Thank you for the ideas👍❣️
Hi Yvonne - You are so welcome! These are easy to make either with the belly band or closure.
These are BIG BEAUTIFUL cards!!! CLEVER closure!!! Thanks for the tutorial!!! LOVE the idea of a crimp stapler - heading over to Amazon to order!!!
Hi Kathleen - You are so welcome! I am hoping the crimping stapler will work better with Vellum. But if not, I am good with a dot of glue to help hold. It's a pretty cool visual regardless.
These are beautiful cards, Julia! Go big or go home! I will definitely try this - even though it looks complicated, it isn’t and the DSP really does make it. TFS! ❤️🇨🇦
These are impressive! And the 2nd one is much easier than the 1st! LOL
Hi Julia,
Ohhhhh, I loved the third card that you showed prior to your card demonstration. The colours were lovely and soft, and it would be ideal as a wedding or anniversary card.
The card you made in today's video was delightful, and I thought the placement of the designer cardstock was perfect. I liked how on the left-hand side that the bird and the birdhouse were both up top of the card as it made sense visually.
I believe that simple cards are a blessing as it uses up our cardstock, but when you make lots of cards it helps making them in bulk.
Also, when I make envelopes for special sized cards, I use my 123-punch board by We R Memory Keepers. It makes envelope making simple once you figure out how to use it. I must confess I had a few boo boo's before understanding how it actually worked!
Julia, PVA glue is mainly used for adhering paper, cardstock, felt etc... I wonder if the sometimes expensive glues that we purchase and use are actually some sort of PVA glue, what do you think? I know the Ranger Multi Medium Matte isn't as it is very different and dries with a matte finish.
Have a wonderful day crafting my friend.
God's blessings, love and hugs, Gloria 🥰💐❤
Hi My Friend!! I also use my 123 punch board for envelopes and there were some ugly envelopes when I first started. The squares are ever so easy tho.
I had the same thought about the PVA glue. What I am finding is the Art Glitter glue bonds quicker that all the rest and is best for embellishments or sticking something you don't need any slip. The PVA works best for paper - paper there is just the right amount of slip and then set. Bearly Art is a little too runny for my taste, but is a fabulous glue - just not my fave. And the clear Elmers is definitely a good inexpensive alternative. It just has a long dry time.
I am every thankful for TH-cam for introducing us. Have a day full of Blessings! Julia
I love those cards. And I am so glad you showed how to make that closure. It isn't hard at all like I thought it was.
I had wondered about that stapleless stapler. I will say you are so brave to use it the first time when you were taping.... like cooking a brand-new recipe for company, really scary.
By the way, I bought one of those Teflon bone folders and it has changed my life when I am making boxes for my niece.
I have learned so much from you! Thanks for sharing your amazing ideas.
Hi Sybil - They are easy once you do the first one, for sure! And, ya know I like to be real so y'all will see my mistakes as well as successes. It's the way of the craft. I originally saw that crimper used on vellum and it will probably work great for that. And you get the effect with glue this way, so it's all good. I got my Teflon bone folder years ago after heart failure at the price. They have come down a lot. You are right it is a total game changer!! Thank you for your sweet comments!! Hugs!!
Your laughter bring a smile to my face it's so cute.
Love your double gate fold card, you did a fantastic job with the pattern paper.....TFS
Thank you so much!
Hello Julia. I have far too much designer paper too! But still I collect more. 😊 I love how these cards come together. You are so right about our overuse of strong glue too! I had a laugh over the crimper and faux effect. I would have done just the same. Nobody knows except us. 😄That glue looks fabulous but it does not seem to be available in Australia at a reasonable cost.
Hi Kaye - I wonder if there is a different brand of book binding glue perhaps?
Hi Julia. I love that card. I’m going to try that out. When I was watching you crimping the belly band, I thought it would be easier to run a thin strip of glue on the end, then crimp it. I know that kind of defeats the purpose, but I would do it to make sure it doesn’t pop open. I loved that crimper so much, that I ordered my own. Are you only posting on Sundays now?
LOL - It all worked out in the end. But, it was a little disappointing...
I love seeing larger cards made great to see some one showing these tuts thank you also love seeing the 5x7 ones done my two pet dislikes I think would be small cards and hand made cards that look like they are mass produced I know they are serve a purpose but for me personally I would not like to be given a card that that looks like someone’s else this also why I love your scrap cards as they look so individual thank you for you great clear instructions on all

Thank you Steffy! Those were some really Big cards! And I agree about liking to make unique cards. It's just all part of the fun!!
These gatefold cards always intimidated me until I watched your video. I will have to try this. 💕💕💕
I completely understand that!! Just take it one step at a time - follow the video and pause it to do the steps. You will do fine!!!
These cards are beautiful. I like the idea of making an envelope to match. Thank you for sharing!🙂❤👍
Thank you! I like making envelopes also, primarily because it uses up more paper. There is always too much paper in a pack for me...
Thank you for this tutorial for a gate-fold large card..love this. This was so well laid out - thanks so much.
Hi Ellen - Glad it was helpful! These are fun to make and use up some paper, for sure!!
Ty my machine is like yours and I too cut and taped my mat! I like the scanning mat.
I like mine for sure!!
Very nice Julia. You’re the best! 😊
Thanks B - I appreciate it!
Love this idea, can’t wait to try it tfs
Thanks Ruth - These are Impressive!!
beautiful cards
Thanks so much!
Very cute cards.
Thanks Cathy and Welcome to My Channel!
I am an over glue-r. I'm always afraid my card will fall apart
Hi Cindy and Welcome to My Channel. What kind of glue do you use?
@@SeniorSusieStamps tomboy liquid
@@cindyfoxtaylor2880 Tombow is great glue, and you don't need that much. Try some small pieces to build up your confidence with less glue. I find if you pause a moment and weight the glue spot down it will grab and you can get by with much less glue than you realize.
I love watching your tutorials Julia. This double gate fold is adorable. Thank you for the measurements.
You are very welcome Betty!!
I love the bigger cards. I appreciate the explanation on the slider closure. TFS! 😊
You're very welcome. You can make them out of most any shape!
Lovely cards, Julia! I love the idea of making the closure/embellishment!! I would be interested to see how you made the closure with the oval shape that you used on one of the card examples.
Hi J - Thank you!! That enclosure used the same concept, I just used an oval shaped die cut instead of a square. I folded it in half, used 4 die cuts. The process was the same.
@@SeniorSusieStamps Thanks, Julia, I will have to try it--I really like the look of those closures on a gatefold card! Have a great week!!
