I was excited to use this paper for the double gatefold challenge. I still like it, but unfortunately the card is unusable. The paper split on more than one of the score lines. I tried patching, but it just didnât work.very disappointed!

This card looks so pretty and I can't see the splits but maybe you could glue it onto a larger paper and score it carefully, or maybe with mica or vellum, to save this beauty, just an idea...

Aww, this is a beautiful birthday card. Your attention to the inside panel makes it a card in itself. I'm sorry your paper split. That certainly happens sometimes!

I love all the balloons. Do you live in Las Vegas? Sometimes when paper gets dry it splits when folded. A very light mist of water might help before scoring (and make sure to fold the correct way after scored-so with a mountain-valley fold like this and delicate paper you would have to flip it over on your score board) I appreciate you giving the double dare a double try-your persistence is admirable.
