Vibrant Elegance: Theresa Griffith’s Gatefold Card for Charity

Theresa Griffith has crafted an exquisite gatefold card with a belly band for the Creative Stampers’ Team, specifically designed for the Annual Catalogue team swap 2024. Using the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Stampin’ Up! Citrus Blooms Stamps and Dies, she has created a masterpiece of vibrant colors and intricate designs. The front panels of this gatefold card are divided into triangular and rectangular sections, each adorned with various patterned papers from the Mediterranean Blooms DSP. These patterns include vibrant floral designs, geometric shapes, and images of oranges and leaves. The rich color palette, dominated by blues, greens, and oranges, creates a dynamic and visually engaging look. The yellow frame bordering the card adds a bright contrast, making the intricate designs stand out even more.
The belly band of this gatefold card is a beautiful strip that wraps around the middle of the card, keeping it securely closed. It is adorned with vibrant images of oranges, delicate blossoms, and lush green leaves, all meticulously colored and enhanced with Wink of Stella for a subtle, elegant shimmer. This touch of sparkle enhances the overall design. The band is further embellished with small, colorful gems from the 2024 In Colors collection. In the center of the belly band, the sentiment “Thank you” from the Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove stamp set is prominently displayed in Night of Navy ink, completing the band with a heartfelt touch.
Inside the card, a heartfelt message from the Citrus Blooms stamp set reads, “YOU’RE THE best kind OF person,” stamped in Night of Navy ink. Below this message is a decorative strip of Mediterranean Blooms DSP, showcasing a floral and geometric pattern in shades of blue and white. The central white panel, framed by bright yellow borders on both sides, provides ample space above the sentiment for a personalized note. This elegant design, with its thoughtful details and vibrant colors, makes this gatefold card a perfect token of appreciation and affection.
