I decided to make a gatefold card with it. I love how this turned out too...here is it open:
Doing a gatefold card does force you to do the inside too, lol! But this was just perfect for this image to me. The 'DP' on this card is actually some wrapping paper that my sister used this past Christmas that I swiped from her! Love the rustic look of it....This set has soo many possibilities too, just wait until you see all of the sentiments in it...I think Mel covered about everything! Ok, up next is the newest set by Rupa Shevde called Ready, Set, Snow!....Ohhhh such adorable images in this set!! here is mine for tonight:
I just love that little penguin! He looks like he is having a ball on the snow I created for him...I made that with glass glitter, then sponged on it with Stayz-On ink in white to make it look more like snow....it looks like the snow we get around here when we do get any...dirty, LOL! You will just love the oh so cute images and sayings in this set too!

Using the gate fold is so clever. Love it.
Great cards. Nice gatefold. That little penguin is adorable and love the glitter you used for snow.
The gatefold card is a perfect compliment to Melanie's Heart image. I also love the way you used some gift wrap to complement the card. As I was making gift card holders with the Gina K instructions, I also used some gift wrap scraps as the Designer Paper and it worked out great.

Love your cards, The closure for your gate fold is fantastic. Thank-you..

Happy is the penguin sliding on the snow bank... Great job!
How cute are these and you've done them justice with your wonderful creations.
I think the need to finish the inside of gatefold cards is what holds me back from doing them more often. These cards are beautiful!!!! Great job and TFS!!
your gatefold idea is great, love it all. Great job
Great gatefold card and adorable penguin.
this is a perfect image for a gate card. Of course, I would not have thought to use it that way.
Great cards. Love the penguin one. Very cute.
I just love penguins, and this is so adorable. I love that you used wrapping paper for the dp. I have some that I have saved for the same purpose. Thanks for sharing.
Cute projects!
Wonderful cards Cat!!
That is a great stamp for your gatefold card, very cool! The penguin is cute. We have some pretty dirty snow around here too, what little we have left, mixed with mud! : ) I do like that card, pretty blue and craft with white.
How cute!!! Love the snow scene
Both cards are wonderful but I'm really partial to the penguin card. Love the blue with that ribbon! Just beautiful.
Hugs...Tracy :)

I love the gate card. What a great idea for this stamp. I am a push over for penguins. I just love them.
Cat, your gatefold card is as nice as opening up a present! What a clever and frugal idea for designer paper too! Your second card has such great movement. It's as if you have caught this guy flying down the hill and just snapped his picture! Great job!
