Springtime Easter Gatefold Card with Soft Pastel Florals and Beautiful Easter Papers

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Spring is such a beautiful season for cardmaking, and today I’m sharing a sweet Easter gatefold card filled with soft pastel florals, beautiful Easter themed papers, and delicate decorative dies. The gentle colours and layered details create a design that feels fresh, light, and full of springtime charm.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

Design Inspiration

I love using a gatefold card base for special occasions because it creates a lovely sense of anticipation when the card is opened. For this design, the front panels meet in the middle and are decorated with soft floral die cuts and a beautiful soft Easter floral image which carries over the inside of the card where the sentiment is becomes the focus using a die cut decorative frame over a pretty Easter themed paper.

Design Details

  • Colour Palette: Spring pastels—think soft pinks, pale yellows, minty greens, and delicate blue tones. These shades work beautifully together and help create that fresh Easter garden feel.
  • Background: Decorative dies add elegance and dimension, while pastel florals and foliage give the card a soft, handcrafted look.
  • Florals: Handcrafted blooms with gentle shaping
  • Sentiment: Simply stamped with a decorative frame for a focus point.
  • Finishing Touches: such as pearls or a subtle shimmer—can really elevate the design and give it that extra special feel

Step-by-Step

1. Create the Card Base
Start with a gatefold card base by adding two side panels created by using a special gatefold die from white cardstock and adding to a base card so the two front panels meet in the centre. Add a pretty Easter themed paper to the inside centre of the gatefold card and to the front oval centre panel.

2. Add Decorative Layers
Use decorative or lacy dies to cut panels for each gatefold flap. Back them with some pretty pastel Easter floral paper before attaching them to the front panels for an elegant base.

3. Build the Floral Clusters
Die cut several flowers and leaves in soft pastel colours. Layer them slightly for dimension and arrange them around the centre opening.

4. Create the Focal Detail
Add a small decorative circle, label, or frame on the inside of the card where the two panels meet. This holds an Easter sentiment and acts as a beautiful focal point.

5. Finishing Touches
Add pearls to the decorative panels and centre of the flowers and then add some micro-fine glitter to the flowers on the front oval panel for some subtle sparkle for a soft elegant finish. I have used a pearl card for the decorative panels and on the centre frame to create some subtle shimmer and contrast.

This card would be perfect for sending Easter wishes, displaying on a spring table setting, or even tucking into an Easter basket for someone special.

Final Thoughts

This Easter gatefold card is such a fun way to celebrate spring. The combination of soft florals, pretty Easter themed paper and subtle pastel colours creates a cheerful design that feels both elegant and playful. Gatefold cards always feel a little extra special, and they’re a lovely way to make your Easter greetings stand out.

Share the Joy

Amazing Paper Grace Decorative Gatefold Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Here is my second card for my Christmas in July series. This time I have created a gatefold card using the Amazing Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies to create a stunning, elegant and timeless Christmas card to keep on the mantle all year round. I love how Becca has added two separate edge dies on her border dies and this makes it so much easier to create gatefold cards. Here I have created a decorative gatefold card using the Delicate Tendril Border die, decorated it inside with the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square dies and accented it with the beautiful flourish from the Delicate Tendril Border Dies set. I made a belly band to keep the card together and used the Amazing Paper Grace Splendid Trilliant Dies to decorate the band and although this die set is from another of Becca’s collections it worked really well here as it is a similar motif. The band was decorated with flowers and Christmas accents from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif dies.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

Front of Card

For my project I cut a piece of white cardstock 5″ x 10″, scored at 2 1/5″ and 7 1/2″ along the long side before folding the card into a gatefold card measuring 5″ x 5″. I die cut each end of the card using the outer edge die and the inner decorative dies from the Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies to make the decorative sides. I die cut and embossed two border motifs using both edge dies and the inner decorative die out of white cardstock and adhered these to the sides. I then die cut four decorative flourishes – two from gold cardstock and two from white cardstock. I adhered the white dies behind the gold dies and then added the flourishes to each side by the folds as shown.

Inside Back of Card

For the inside cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ and adhered it to the inside back of the card. I die cut a decorative frame out of white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square dies and then added this to the inside back. I die cut two decorative square frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Square dies out of white cardstock and a plain frame out of gold cardstock. I stacked the decorative frames together and added the gold frame behind before adding this to the inside back over the decorative square. I die cut the small shadow circle out of gold cardstock and the decorative circle from white cardstock. I added the decorative circle over the gold circle and then added it to the centre of the square decorative dies. I die cut four flourishes from the Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies, trimmed them to the central motif and added them around the circle dies. I die cut four sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene dies – three from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I stacked the dies together with the gold die on top and then added the die inside the frame as shown.

To complete the card I added pearls to the decorative dies on the front and inside back of the cards.

Belly Band.

I cut a piece of white cardstock 1″ x 12″ and scored at 3 3/8″ and 8 5/8″ and fold to create the band. I then cut a piece of gold metallic card 3/4″ x 11″ and scored along each long side 1/8″ before adding to the white band. I then glued the band together making sure the band was loose enough to go over the pearls on the card.

I die cut and embossed the motif from the Amazing Paper Grace Splendid Trilliant dies out of white cardstock and adhered it to the front of the band. I die cut two flourishes from the Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies, trimmed them to the central motif added them to the top and bottom of the central rectangle of the motif. I have handcrafted the green and pink poinsettia out of flower shaping paper and green cardstock using the poinsettia dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettias and added it to the centre of the motif. I added some gold flourishes that I had trimmed along with holly and ivy from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motifs Dies set and the branches from the November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.

To finish the belly band I added a gold pearl to the centre of the poinsettia and pearls to the decorative die.

Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Reveal Shutter Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Last week I posted a quick and simple card made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Card Dies. This week I have a card showing the elegant reveal shutter element when you open the card using the dies provided in this die set. This would be a perfect wedding card or a very special card for a significant occasion. This die set makes it so easy to create a stunning interactive card in no time at all.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

There is a video tutorial from Becca Feeken on how to assemble this card here.

Inside Back of Card

I have cut a piece of cream cardstock 6″ x 12″ and scored at 3″ and 9″ and folded the sides in to make a 6″ x 6″ gatefold card base. For the inside back of the card I have added a piece of gold cardstock and coordinating cream and gold pearl pattern paper. I then added a gold frame using the small and medium size label dies. I die cut the shutter mechanisms out using the dies in the die set out of cream cardstock. I die cut the label out of the of the middle using the middle sized label die and then adhered this to the inside back by the top and bottom tabs using foam tape. I gold embossed the sentiment on some scrap cream cardstock and die cut it out with the middle sized label die and then added the stamped label inside the aperture. To finish the centre panel I added a gold frame using the medium and large label dies to the aperture opening.

I die cut two side pieces out of cream cardstock using both the decorative panel and base and added gold cardstock behind the decorative panels.. These side panels were added to each side of the centre panel according to the instructions for the die set.

Back of Card

I die cut two decorative panels out of gold cardstock making sure they matched and threaded cream organza ribbon through the centre of the dies and then added both panels on the back of the card.

Front of Card

I added a gold and cream pattern pearl paper to both front panels. I die cut two decorative panels out of gold cardstock and threaded cream organza ribbon through the centres of the panels before adding a plain cream backing to the panels. These panels were added to both side panels.

I die cut the flourishes from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebuds out of the cream cardstock and added one to the top left and one to the bottom right of the side panels. I die cut, coloured and assembled the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies. These flowers were added over the flourishes as shown. I added small green leaves around the flowers and small light green leaf flourishes from the Amazing Paper Grace Adoring Fleurette Etched Dies around the flowers.

To finish the card I added small pearls to the centres of the flowers and closed the card with the organza ribbon.
