Gate fold cards

I broke down and purchased a Scor-Pal!! I made a little money selling cards this month and bit the bullet to buy another toy for my card making. However, I did these cards before I bought the Scor-Pal. Gate fold where the card folds into itself and then I'm using the embellishment on top to hold the card closed. Sorry for the first blurry picture, but you get the idea with the dragon fly scallop, it's attached only half on the left fold, then it is tucked under the 'have a good day' (which is popped up).

The second picture is with the card open. The cute bug images are based on those from TAC. I create cards for a few customers under the "Card of the Month" which is a year long... around the middle of each month they receive in the mail a 'surprise' card with matching envelope that reflects what's coming up, by a holiday or season. The card is blank so they can send it on to a special friend.

For September I decided on the bug theme and in fallish colors, there is a leaf punched into the envelope. Next month would be a Halloween themed card.
