TIME TO TRY A NEW TECHNIQUE

Hello to each of you who are popping by today. Welcome!

Well, I had planned to share these projects with you yesterday but somehow I managed to get behind schedule.

this is the first time I have made cards using the ‘curtain fold’ or ‘drapery fold’ technique. It is a great way to showcase the double-sided designs of our Designer Series Papers. For these projects I used the Painted Christmas 12″x 12″ DSP.

The DSP starts as a 12″x 5-1/2″ piece that is cut in half diagonally – Not corner to corner but 1/2″ in from the corner. The paper was then scored at 1″, 3″, 4″, 6″, 7″, 9″, 10″ and 11″. To see how this was done, I made another one of these cards during my Facebook Live – here is a link – https://www.facebook.com/mmmstampintime/videos/2599057596906237.

I stamped a coordinating leaf design on the card front using Evening Evergreen. The folded DSP was then attached to the card front and I added a strip of Evening Evergreen card at the top of the curtain fold.

The greeting, from the Merriest Moments Stamp Set, was stamped in Real Red. The same leaves were stamped on the card insert and envelope. Then I added some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.

I made three other cards using the products you can see and the other items I have mentioned.

So, what do you think of these four curtain fold Christmas cards?

Until next time, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
