VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Flowering Zinnias Pleated Paper Card (aka Curtain Fold)

I brought back an old favorite when Mom and I featured the Online Exclusives Flowering Zinnias Suite in a recent episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie. Have you tried the Pleated Paper technique? I created two versions: one using the detailed dies and one using the stamped images from the Simply Zinnias bundle. Which one do you prefer?

Stampin' Up! Colors: Highland Heather, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, 
Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie, and Lemon Lolly

I used Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color the stamped image on the second card. I used a little Lemon Lolly in the flower center and added some of the Shiny Sequins, just like I did with the die cut flower above.

You may know this fold as the Tapestry Fold or Curtain Fold. It's really quite easy to make! Download and print my PDF tutorial to have the template and measurements handy the next time you sit down to make cards!

Measurements:
  • 5 ½” x 8 ½” Card Base, scored at 4 ¼” 
  • 3" x 8-3/8" Designer Paper 
  • 1/2" x 4 ¼" Coordinating Cardstock 
  • 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” Basic White Cardstock 
  • 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White Cardstock (inside)
Directions: 
  • Score the designer paper at 3", 4", 6", and 7". 
  • Using your Paper Trimmer, line up one end of the paper at 1" and the opposite edge of the 3" score mark in the cutting line and make a diagonal cut. 
  • Fold the paper back and forth to create a pleat and adhere to the bottom of the card.

Cut your designer paper and follow along as you watch my Sunday Stamping video tutorial:
