Have you ever made a gatefold card that surprises everyone when they open it?

This easy Christmas gatefold card puts a fun twist on the traditional gatefold design. Instead of opening from the sides, two diamond-shaped flaps meet in the center to create a beautiful interactive card that’s perfect for the holidays.

Using the Stitched Stockings Suite, you’ll create a festive Christmas card featuring quilt-inspired designer paper, ribbon, and a charming stocking focal point. Best of all, it’s much easier to make than it looks!

Whether you’re creating Christmas cards for friends and family or adding another fun fold to your collection, this project is sure to become a favorite.

What Makes This Christmas Gatefold Card Special?

Unlike a traditional gatefold card, this version uses two diagonal folds that meet in the center to create a beautiful diamond shape.

The unique opening makes the card interactive while still fitting inside a standard envelope.

You’ll also love that:

• It’s beginner friendly.
• Only a few pieces are needed.
• It’s perfect for showcasing beautiful designer paper.
• It can be adapted for any season simply by changing the paper and embellishments.

These features are demonstrated throughout the tutorial as you assemble the diagonal panels, add ribbon, and complete the stocking focal point..
