Fun Fold Card Design: Triple Flip Gate Fold

This quick card design has a special triple gate fold. You'll find that this fancy fold is easy to make, especially when you use patterned paper for two of the three panels. We made this card during last night's Mystery Stamping event on the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook Group. If you haven't joined us yet for an evening of cardmaking clues, I hope that you will join the Facebook Group and join us for the next Tuesday night Mystery Stamping. Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.
