I had never heard of a gate fold card until I got my Scor-Pal. There are several different fold directions on the back of the packaging. It is a very cool looking card and fold. The challenge to keep it closed is the only tricky part. Some people close them with ribbon. I closed mine with magnetic closures from Basic Grey. They are thin enough to not bulk up the card. I hid one of them under the pattern paper and the other one is behind the scallop circle so when you close it is snaps closed.
You can get two of these cool cards with one sheet of card stock. Cut paper 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and score at 6 1/8 and 2 1/8 on the 8 1/2 inch side. So when it is closed it is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I cuttlebugged the solid side of mine. Super cute ha? I thought it would add some dimension and it matches the dotted paper real nice.

I like the gate-fold style card. I've not made one yet, but I love the look! You did a great job!
Love the card! Where do you get your cuttlebug embossing folders? My Michaels doesn't have any of the new ones. Do you order on line??
I love the card, gotta love the dots.I really need to get a Scor Pal they look like lots of fun plus could save a lot of time.
I'm lovin' all of the dots. This is just cute! TFS!
Wonderful cards! I too love that CB embosser,I've seen it all over blogs,I'm gonna have to get it.
It's so nice!
I have never made one of these, but have a couple of birthday cards to make so I will try it out! Speaking of which...those magnets are difficult to find! Would be great for you to see in your store!!! and love the new layout!
Great idea to use magnets. I've used a slit on one side and a tab on the other to secure the closing on several of mine.
