The scoring and folding on this technique are a bit intense, lol, but it’s worth it! It’s hard to imagine that the folded drapery piece started out as an 8″ x 3″ piece of designer paper.
I’ve used the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper on this card. Here are the paper dimension:
- Base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
- Layer 1 – 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Embossed Strip 1″ x 4″
- DSP Strip 3/4″ x 4″
- White Strip 3/4″ x 4″
- Drapery 8″ x 3″
Score at 1/2″, 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 1 3/4″, 2 1/2″, 2 3/4″, 3 1/2″, & 3 3/4″ Flip and repeat on the other end.
Use a pencil and mark 1 1/2″ from the bottom on each short side and mark the 3 1/2″ score line on the bottom. Then cut diagonally from the 1 1/2″ mark on the side to the 3 1/2″ mark on the bottom. Do this on both sides.
Accordion fold from both sides, meeting in the middle. Add a small amount of liquid glue in the crease for each fold and burnish with a bone folder. Add a couple strips of tear and tape to the back to adhere to the card.
Tip: If your folds look wonky, check to make sure that you haven’t missed a score line, some of them are very tiny and easy to miss.
