I've been seeing a lot of pleated cards on Pinterest recently so thought I'd give it a try too.
I found a YouTube video called Pleated Skirt Fold For Cards by Debbie Henderson and followed her instructions for making the card. Debbie shows how to make two different sizes and I picked the landscape style card. This one starts with an 11.5" x 4" piece of double-sided paper, scored at 3", 4", 6", 7", 9" and 10". You do have to cut a piece off the bottom diagonally so it's best to watch the video to see how to do it rather than trying to explain it!
I adhered the pleated skirt to a white cardstock card base and added a strip of Spring Moss cardstock at the top. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and added a few clear sequins.
The card needed something else so I wrapped striped Strawberry twine around the top to match the party hats.
- Stamps: PTI Sketched Shapes
- Paper: PTI White Stampers Select, Spring Moss; Imaginisce All Kinds Of Happy
- Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
- Tools: Scor-Pal
- Other: Twine; Pretty Pink Posh Sequins

Oh wow, this is so cool! I've never seen a pleated card before until now and I love it!!
