I recently attended a charity card making day and one of the types of cards we made was a tri-panel gatefold card. I like this style of card and have re-created it using some of my favourite retired patterned papers, the Stampin' Up!, Joy of Christmas DSP.
Here's the card closed and kept together with a bellyband. The gold foil sentiment is from the Greeting For You mix & match ephemera pack.
When the bellyband is removed, the card opens up to reveal the message to the recipient. If needed, you could even add a little pocket for a gift card inside too as there's plenty of space to hold a gift card or money.
While I've made this card in landscape orientation, it can also be easily flipped to be a portrait card too. The choice is yours. It does take a whole sheet of A4 cardstock to create the card base and bellyband, so it's not as economical to create as some other gatefold card styles, but I think the end result is worth it.
