Pleated Paper Technique with Delicate Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper

Pleated-paper-technique-Delicate-Designs-DSP-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a card made with the Delicate Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Earthen Toned Metallics Paper. What is interesting about this card is the pleated paper technique I learned from Connie Stewart! It really adds an interesting design to the card! At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. There is a lot of scoring on the pleated piece, and that is included in the written instructions, and I also go over it in my video. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope. Look how beautiful this card is!

This card is a thinking of you, but in my video my sentiment is happy birthday. The embossed strip down the right side really dresses up the inside of the card.
