Fold of the Week: Great Locked Gate Invitation

This week I’ve got a great, go-to format for your next invitation or announcement. It features a clever tweak on the interior that provides flexibility for different audiences.

Here’s what’s great about this solution:

• A simple die cut on the center panel provides the capacity to hold 1-3 inserts to customize the content.
• The Locked Gate slows you down and feels formal, like you're opening something special—but it's really a simple format to work with.

This design works year-round, but I also love it as a holiday event solution. If you’d like to see another variation of this format, check out Episode 445.

Thanks for watching. I’ll see you next week.
