Good morning Quick Quotes readers, Alicia here today with a special fold. I enjoy being challenged by trying a new fold.
I was a little intimidated but it really wasn't that hard. Whenever I try a new technique I first use a piece of white card stock because it usually takes once to figure it out correctly.
Instructions for the full pleated fold:
- For a full pleated front begin with a piece measuring 3" x 11"
- Score at 1.5" next 2" then 3" alternating half inch then inch scores until the 9.5" score, leaving a 1.5" length at the end
- Mark the half way point (1.5") on the short side
- Cut at a diagonal from that mark to the 5" mark turn the paper and cut the same diagonal on the other corner
- These two cuts should leave an inch in the center with no cut
- Alternate folds and crease with a bone folder and ink all edges
- Adhere the folds in place
- Adhere the pleated panel on your card
- Cover the top of the panel with another piece of paper, die cut or ribbon
Here's another version. Quick Quotes' double sided patterned papers lend themselves so well to creating a lovely peekaboo and coordinating panels.
