This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #194 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "Summer Fun Fold" and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #673 ) which starts on June 23rd. This card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants.
The 3-2-1 recipe had a requirement of a Fun Fold and the TSOT sketch was perfect to make it a Gatefold fun fold card. It was easy to use the colors and shape requirements to complete the 3-2-1 recipe.
Since one of my grandsons have a birthday July 3rd I thought this would be a great card for a guy who likes to celebrate July 4th so that was easy to include Twisted Sister's optional twist fireworks.
Now the tricky part is I don't have any firework stamps in my stash. However, CTMH's Dandelion Wishes was a stamp set I had used quite awhile ago for fireworks, and it works. My three circle dies were cut using white cardstock, then stamped with the dandelion in red, blue and silver inks. These circles were adhered to the left side panel of an embossed layered panel, and other panel was left blank.
To complete the card stamped a sentiment and bordered with red. On the inside of the card used white cardstock bordered with red and stamped several dandelions in same colors. Mission accomplished.

Oh wow, wow, wow! This is spectacular Suzanne! Love how you used the dandelion stamp as fireworks. Works perfectly and the embossing folder is a great match to the design. Thanks for sharing with the June Challenge at A Cut Above.
What a great gatefold card, Suzanne! I love everything about it. I can feel the celebration in the fold, the embossing and great images. Thank you for participating in the Creative Creases Challenge! We hope you can join us again soon. Your support is greatly appreciated!
