Drapery Fold Card: Painted Christmas

Hello Stampin’ Friends!! Today I want to share with you a drapery fold card using the beautiful Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper. This is the card that I featured last night in my weekly Tutorial Tuesday Facebook live. Tune in to Birdsnest Designs Facebook Page every week at 7:30pm (PST) for a fun project tutorial!

Using a sponge dauber and a little ink is a great way to add a distressed look to a piece of embossed cardstock. I love how this turned out using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder!

I have admired this drapery fold from afar for some time now and finally gave it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is and how lovely it looks!! Here’s how I did it …

1. Start with a 10″ x 4-3/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper
2. Using a pencil put a little mark on the left hand edge 3/4″ down from the top, and on the right hand edge 3/4″ up from the bottom
3. Place the DSP in your paper trimmer lining the cutting track up with the marks that you made and cut to create the diagonal edge
4. Place one of these pieces on your Simply Scored Tool with the widest end on the left and the straight edge flush along the top
5. Score at 2″, 3″, 5″, 6″, 8″ and 9″
6. Fold to create the accordion or drapery

To see how this entire card was created click on the video below to watch the replay posted to my YouTube channel. Skip ahead to about the 6-1/2 minute mark to get right to the card making 😀

I hope that you have enjoyed the cards in today’s post. The drapery fold is a fabulous way to show off you’re favourite Designer Series Paper … so pull some out today and give it a try I know you’ll be happy that you did!!
