Shutter Gate Fold Cards & Video

I started making these cards when my Border Buddy, Patsy Waggoner from the US, showed me how easy they were to make and now I am seriously addicted!

I used the Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection in this card – I love the Suites because the products all coordinate together!

The lush florals and soothing colors in the Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection are reminiscent of a beautiful paradise. Pair the images in the stamp sets with the handpainted paper, gems, and sheer ribbon to create projects with shimmer and elegance to your projects. You’ll love what you can do with this versatile collection. This suite collection is also available in French.

* Hydrangea Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)

* Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper
