A Drapery Fold Card | Details

One of the most popular suites in the annual catalog is called Forever Greenery. And for good reason! This suite of products include lush greenery images and designer paper options with gold accents. You’ll find this suite on pages 108-110.

Stampin’ Up!’s double-sided designer papers are both full of versatility and made of the highest quality. Patterns with exclusive colors coordinate with ink pads and accessories. These two features are not only noticeable in today’s drapery fold card but make creating easier. Whether you wish to create drapery folds or pleats, as I’ve done on my second card below, the template I’m providing will make cutting and scoring easy.

Cutting Dimensions:

• Garden Green (base): 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″
• Whisper White: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
• Pear Pizzazz: 4″ x 4″
• Designer Paper: 4 3/4″ x 10″
• Ribbon: 2 pieces @ 5″

A Drapery Fold Card | Idea #2

Take a closer look at this fold on this card and you’ll see the drapery fold appears as pleats. Using designer paper with a direction doesn’t mean you have to discard the other piece. Flip it over and use the pleats for another fun fold card!

Keep the greetings and images simple so the focus remains on the fold. I used the new Mini Catalog Bundle “Snailed It” for this cheerful card, perfect for any age!

Whether you choose to use the designer paper “drapery fold side up” or “pleat side up”, I’m sure you’ll agree this is just another wonderful use for Stampin’ Up!’s award winning double-sided designer papers.

Cutting Dimensions:

• Real Red (base): 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″
• Blushing Bride (layer): 4″ x 5 1/4″
• Thick Whisper White: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
• Designer Paper: 4 3/4″ x 10″
• Ribbon: 2 pieces @ 5″
