At OnStage, we had a presentation on making a locking gate fold card. I decided to use this fancy fold as my April Stamp Club technique. You can use any shape for your sliding mechanism, but the Everyday Arches works great. Here’s a photo with the front slide off on the left and in place on the right. If you don’t want the front to slide and be removed completely, you can attach it on one side with dimensionals. However, instead of sliding, it will just lock into the side. I’ll show you in the video.
Here is the video to explain building the mechanism piece for the locking gate fold card and other options. Leave me a like and a comment on what you think about doing the slide verses adhering one side. It’s fairly easy once you see what you’re doing and how the slide works.
Plus, here is my technique journal page. I’ll add my QR code to the Old Olive square once the video is uploaded to YouTube.

Now to find a technique for May…
Happy Stampin’
