Today, I’m sharing a bright and fun Zig Zag Gatefold Card featuring the As You Go Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up! and the Encircled in Love stamp set. This fold adds a little wow factor while still being simple to create, and it’s perfect for showcasing your favourite patterned papers.

This card comes together with a clever gatefold design that zig-zags open to reveal a bold and cheerful message inside. I used Azure Afternoon cardstock for the base, which pairs beautifully with the playful colours in the DSP.

The belly band keeps the card closed and adds an extra design element. It features the heartfelt sentiment “You’re on my mind and in my heart” from the Encircled in Love stamp set. I layered the sentiment and accented it with tiny gems for sparkle. I love that we still have circle punches, definitely a punch girl here.
