How to Make and Interactive Gate Layout

June 26, 2026 by Heather Holbrook

How to Make and Interactive Gate Layout

I love interactive elements on a scrapbook layout, they are so fun to create and so fun for others to play with when flipping through your album! Nathalie created this wonderful Lilypad Gate using a variety of products and techniques to go over top of a stunning outdoor photo.

How to Make and Interactive Gate Layout

The base of the two arches were die cut using rainbow shaped dies from white and green cardstocks with scored hinge flaps that adhered behind the photo. The Lilypads were created with a dry embossing folder ran through a die cut machine and then she used coordinating dies to ink blend on the beautiful colors. Inside the flaps are other elements too like another photo and a softer stenciled scene with some sentiment strips scattered all around.

Visit the Altenew blog for her tutorial.
