VIDEO: Pleated Paper Card Video + Love & Affection Sneak Peek

Did you like the Apple of my Eye cards I shared yesterday? I have been hooked on the Pleated Paper technique! I have seen several tutorials with different measurements to do this "Drapery" or "Curtain" fold; some of them are smaller pleats or different size pleats. I came up with my own measurements to make this technique simple and EASY! I know once you try it, you'll be hooked and want to make more!

Here is my latest Pleated Paper card. I used the new Love & Affection stamp set, Affectionately Yours Designer Paper, and Floral Affection Embossing Folders that are NEW and will be coming out in the 2016-2017 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog on June 1st. Demonstrators can pre-order these goodies now. Not a demonstrator yet? Find out how you can get the Sneak Peek products NOW

Here are the directions for Pleated Paper Fold technique (also known as the Curtain Fold or Drapery Fold).
