Super Easy Gate Fold Cards Inspired By Jennifer McGuire

Hello, friends! Today we are going to be making two simple gate fold cards. We made a similar one at the Simon Says Stamp Create Event this past weekend with Gina K and Jennifer McGuire, and I love the design. I also had soooo much fun at the event - it was great to finally put faces to names. If we met, please give me a shout-out in the comments! Thank you so much for visiting. Wishing you a crafty day - Allison

I laughed a lot seeing you how to fix the little black spot on your stamped sentiment inside your second card …that’s the moment when I say “0hhhh noooo noooo nooooo please nooooo” 😂😂😂 and not only that sometimes I tried to ERASE with a sand eraser or a very sophisticated tool and plop 🙈😭😭😭😭. But you solution was brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I’ll never try to fix this little mistakes in another way..thank so much for sharing with us, I enjoyed so much watching your video … ❤

    I have a different mini cutter as well as a regular-sized one. I use the mini a LOT as most of what I cut is smaller pieces. The mini is easier to grab quickly and can stay on my desk while I'm working on other parts of the projectm whereas because I have limited space, I can't do that with the regular machine. I love both of mine. But everybody is different...We don't all have to like and use the same things.😊
