Double Pleat Happy Birthday

Last month I received a pleated drape
card from a friend.  It was adorable.
Then I started seeing cards with a
double pleated drape so I decided it
was time to play a bit.
Wednesday night was this month's
Fun Folds Class.
This is one of the cards everyone made.

We used the fabulous It's My Party designer
paper for the double pleat.
The designer paper was cut 3" x 10".
I scored it at 1", 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 3", 4",
4 1/2", 5 1/2", 6", 7", 7 1/2", 8 1/2" and 9".
Then just fold on the score lines to create
mountains and valleys.
I used Tear & Tape across the top
of the pleated paper — both on
the front and the back.

Twist & Turn Card

Twist & Turn cards have been one of
my favorite cards lately.
I received a swap from fellow demonstrator
Angie Juda and then my birthday card from
my sister, Tina, was this Twist & Turn.
I decided it was time to make one,
so at last month's Fun Folds Class we did it.
Everyone loved it and one person commented
at class last night that she needed measurements
so she could make it again.
So here you go.

They aren't too bad once you get the hang of them
and it's such an impressive card.

I would love to see what you make with
this fun Twist & Turn card.

Cherry on Top

I’ve been reviewing past cards
that used some of the items
that are retiring.
I love the color combo in the
Cherry on Top Suite.
It is fabulous to me when
everything is already coordinated
together — it makes my job so much
easier, but some of these items are retiring
so you better get them before they are gone.

Cherry on Top Washi Tape logo
The card base is Cucumber Crush
with a layer of Whisper White.
Then another small layer of Whisper White.
The Cherry on Top Washi Tape was added
(three different designs) and a strip of
Watermelon Wonder cardstock.
The Triple Banner Punch created
the Cucumber Crush banner across the
center.
You’re the Best is from the
Friendly Wishes stamp set and is stamped
with Cucumber Crush ink and punched out
with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch.
