Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Project | Bunny with Carrots Gatefold Card

Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a sweet and simple gatefold card featuring the adorable Bunny with Carrots from Polkadoodles’ new release.

This project is extra special to me because I created it while joining my crafty friend Ms. Lala of Mommy Guide Inc during her Holy Week Devotion and Crafting session on YouTube. I first made my Holy Week card during the session, and afterwards, I was inspired to recreate the design and give it a Polkadoodles twist using this cute bunny digi!

This gatefold card is beginner-friendly and fun to make, especially with the interactive closure mechanism in the middle. If you’d like to recreate it, you can follow my step-by-step instructions below—or watch Ms. Lala’s video for a guided version of the process. Don’t forget to check out and follow her socials too:

For my Holy Week version, I used gold accents and a more muted palette, but for this Polkadoodles version, I leaned into a cheerful spring vibe using soft, pretty patterns and the cutest bunny image.

My Holy Week Devotion Card

For this version, I focused on a more elegant and meaningful look. I used Secret Gardenia Paper Pad from Recollections for the pattern paper and the sentiment stamp from another crafty friend, Jho of Paperl Atbp.'s Believe: Mark 11:23 Stamp Set. 

This card was all about reflection and simplicity, and I really enjoyed the calm and intentional process of making it during the devotion.

How I Made It:

I started by preparing my card base using plain cardstock trimmed to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. I scored both sides at 2 1/8 inches to create the gatefold panels.

Next, I cut two pieces of patterned paper (1 7/8 x 5 1/4 inches) from the Pretty Spring Papers and adhered them to the front panels for a soft, spring-inspired look.

To create the closure mechanism, I cut three 2-inch squares. Two of these were folded diagonally and adhered onto the third square, forming a simple interactive closure that sits between the card flaps.

I then made a belly band by trimming a strip of cardstock (1 x 8 1/2 inches), scoring it at 2 1/8 and 6 1/4 inches, and decorating it with a strip of patterned paper. This was carefully attached to the triangular closure—making sure to only glue the top portion so the mechanism stays functional.

Inside the card, I added a white panel (4 x 5 1/4 inches) to give a clean space for writing a message.

Finally, I decorated the front using the Bunny with Carrots digi stamp along with the adorable sentiment “some-bunny’s bringing the good stuff.” It tied everything together perfectly and added such a fun, playful touch!

And that’s it, your gatefold card is done! 

Simple, interactive, and perfect for spring or Easter crafting. And of course, don’t forget to join Polkadoodles’ Digi Choosday Anything Goes challenge! We’d love to see what you create!
