Spellbinders Gilded Gatefold Tutorial with Quietfire Design Stamps

WRBF-3911-2013
Oh my goodness blog friends, I guess I didn’t know what I got myself into offering up this video tutorial for the Spellbinders Gilded Gatefold Card.  I’ve been working on it all week and finally got to the end today.  So you know me, I always do new samples when I do a video so today is no different.  Using simply precious new stamps from QQuietfire Design, I created a new baby keepsake to announce a birth.  I went all girl because you know I jump at any chance to use pink.  Rest assured though, the stamp set includes everything needed to switch over to little boy!!
WRBF-3912-2013
Here’s a peek inside!
WRBF-3913-2013
On the inside I used Spellbinders Floral Ovals to create a frame where I hung this darling Spellbinders Dresses One (I love those dresses)!  All I did to it was wrap ribbon around it and put a flower on it.  Then on the right side I typed the name of a the newborn and her birth date.  I used Quietfire Design Welcome Little One stamp set and filled in the center with A Baby is a Little Bit of Heaven.  Of course the outside of the card is done with Spellbinders Gilded Gate Two and I popped up Spellbinders Gold Labels Four on both the outside of the card and the inside of the card for my sentiment.  The dotted embossing is done by Spellbinders Dainty Dots.

The name and date of birth below were printed on my inkjet printer.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial, I show you how to make the Christmas Card first, but once you understand the layout, it’s very easy to do it for any occasion.  (Note: the thicker your paper, the more difficult it will be to make the card lay completely flat.  Once the bow and embellishments are applied to the front, that will help a great deal).

Here is the video tutorial:

    OMG this baby card is soooooo beautiful…..your work is just amazing..I have to go and order that spellbinder die…..and try to make this…good thing I have a job to keep paying for all my spellbinders…lol thanks for sharing and for the tutorial…..ReplyCancel

  • MarshaJuly 17, 2013 - 8:30 pm

    Becca, that is such a beautiful card. I have one question: If you printed the name and birth date on your inkjet, what font did you use? If that is one of your fonts, I would love to have such a font for my printer, too. I’ve often thought I wish I had an elaborate font like that for my computer to print with. That way, I would not be limited to just the words on a stamp.ReplyCancel

    Another beauty of a card Becca and a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much!ReplyCancel

  • Judy StuttsJuly 17, 2013 - 8:34 pm

    Thanks again. JudyReplyCancel

TFS again such a treat !!!

    Bless your heart, I know that was a job getting the video done for us, thank you so much, been waiting for it since I saw the Christmas card!! AND I love the baby card, gotta have that set of stamps!! I just love your artwork and refer almost daily to your blog for inspiration (sometimes several times a day) and have learned so much from you! Thank you again for this video!!ReplyCancel

  • MelindaJuly 17, 2013 - 9:45 pm

    Forgot to ask! What is the font you used for the birth announcement?ReplyCancel

  • ann robbinsJuly 17, 2013 - 9:46 pm

    Just such a lovely card that you make it look so easy to do. The magnets were new to me but liked the effect. The baby card is totally awesome ~ I just love PINK just like you. I hope you can tell us what the font is because I think I am the third or fourth one to ask. Very elegant and a lot of time we are all looking for something like this font for the inside. Thank you if you could let us know on that. Such inspiration you give all of us and we do appreciate it.
    Hugs,

    I love, love, love this gatefold card! So lacey and pretty … thanks so much for the tutorial. Unfortunately, I was only able to find 5 days for the Spellbinders give-away. I’m not sure what happened to the 6th day … I was never able to find it on the Spellbinders blogsite.ReplyCancel

  • QuietfireJuly 17, 2013 - 10:23 pm

    Absolutely beautiful Becca! Thank you so much for using the stamps so creatively!ReplyCancel

  • Sue MJuly 17, 2013 - 11:19 pm

    Stunning as usual! Thank you so much for the tutorial. Really helps us who are not so creative and experienced, plus busy, to know what steps to take so that we can have a beautiful card too. I adored the pink baby card! What a treasure for the Mom and Baby. I was born in 1947 and I still treasure my baby book with all the cards my Mother recieved, my lock of hair and foot print.

    Do you make sure you have all the pieces cut and embossed before you even start assembling, or do you make the base and then cut and emboss the layers and decorations as you go?

    Do you have the card preplanned before you even start or do you decide as you assemble?

    Thank you so much for all your help. SueReplyCancel

  • Carole HodginsJuly 18, 2013 - 12:03 am

    Astounding Becca, I have been waiting for this tutorial with bated breath since you first posted the card. No that’s insulting calling it just a “card” it is truly a work of art. Thank you again for all the hours you must put in on these video’s. I am sure all your followers like me are very thankful for your generosity in sharing.

  • GG Judy JacksonJuly 18, 2013 - 12:20 am

    OW! Again! You are my favorite designer. Was one of the first to sign up for the Gold club. Missing only one of your cling stamps (don’t care for clear) and when I had to cut down on the number of emails per day, you’re the only designer I didn’t UNsubscribe. Imagine my excitement Sat. when David G. was drawn on the first day.. Sent him a text but he couldn’t get to a computer for over 5 hours. My son won!!! And I’m first on the list to borrow it until I get my own. Sounds like they plan to send them out before the stores get them. Last year when I won Day 7, they didn’t arrive until mid September. Thanks for all your terrific designs. And for showing some more samples from one of the Gold kit dies.ReplyCancel

  • GG Judy JacksonJuly 18, 2013 - 12:25 am

    WOW was supposed to be the beginning of the last comment. I have the dress blank but not the gate. I’ll have to get it now. A little late for me to send another baby card as my 3rd great granddaughter was born May 28th. But I’m often late–and this is just too sweet.to not make for her.ReplyCancel

  • MaryannJuly 18, 2013 - 12:41 am

  • Dottie DavisJuly 18, 2013 - 5:34 am

    Very lovely card and very inspiring for many occasions. Thank you for making the tutorial as it helps to see you assemble these first hand. I, too, am wondering about the font used as it is quite nice. Spellbinders is really getting into some creative dies that can be used with the basics which is marvelous. They could keep doing that as far as I am concerned so we can get more use out of our basic collection shapes. Thanks again for sharing your creativity.ReplyCancel

  • Jan D., FloridaJuly 18, 2013 - 7:57 am

    Loved your card and video….it’s always a thrill to see your creative projects. So stunning and gorgeous.

    Something I saw on a blog recently for adhereing those intricate die cuts was E6000 adhesive now comes in a spray mist and it dries in 1 to 3 minutes and it really does dry clear…some of the glues that profess drying clear still leave a glossy glob where it oozes out from the edges of die cuts. I just cut all my die cut pieces for my project, lay them face down in a shoe box or equivalent, mist them with the E6000 spray adhesive and then use tweazers to place them on my project….it really does what it says it will do and I love it. You do need to follow the instructions on the bottle for cleaning the sprayer when you are finished using your glue so the nozzle isn’t clogged with dry glue….I found it very easy to clean.

    I found this spray adhesive at Michael’s and with a coupon got it really cheap. It normally retails for $9.99, so at 40% off it was nothing and I expect a bottle to last a while. Hope you’ll give it a try. I make a lot of cards using die cuts and it has definitely improved the finished look of my projects to not have that shiny residue around the edges.ReplyCancel

    I’m amazed how you take a die, turn it and tweak it and make a whole new creation from it’s original intent!!! And then, you choose to share with your readers your process- thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Becca, four years ago my husband suffered a massive stroke a few weeks after his 50th birthday. During the following two weeks he suffered 4 more strokes. Up to that time I was a stamper/card maker and had so much “stuff” I could have opened my own store. After my sweetheart became ill, all of our belonging were auctioned off and 5 months later he left the hospital and we moved in with my daughter. I haven’t made a card since. But then about 6-7 weeks ago I came across your site and I am ready to start again!! You are so very talented and I can’t thank you enough for inspiring me to start making cards again. We don’t have much because I cannot work, (he needs constant care) but God will provide. In the meantime, I want to begin a collection of Spellbinder dies. Which ones would you suggest that I start with? I can probably purchase 2 or 3 to start. Thanks so much if you can respond. I know how busy you must be.ReplyCancel
