Butterfly Drapery Pullback Card

This is a totally cute fun fold! It is called the drapery pullback fold or the collar fold. It looks like the butterfly is pulling back the curtain to reveal a sweet sentiment.

On the inside I stamped two Sweet Sugarplum heart images, leaving the center blank to write a personalized heartfelt message.

The drapery pullback fold is easy to do. Trim your cardstock or DSP to the desired size. Then determine and mark the center.

Score from the center point to the upper right corner and from the center point to the lower right corner. Using your trimmer, line up the center mark and the upper right corner in the cutting track and score with the scoring blade. Repeat for the lower right corner. You can also score with a ruler and a stylus.

Next cut a straight line from the center of the right side to the center point. Fold the score lines back and secure with adhesive.

I would love to see the drapery pullback cards you make! What embellishments and sentiments would you add?

Thanks for stopping by!

Painter's Palette Sweet and Simple Card: Shaker Addition

This is the same great card as yesterday but with the addition of a shaker element to the easel. I think the shaker element gives the card a wow factor, especially with the darling little heart confetti pieces!

Even though the base design from yesterday's post is fantastic on its own, including a few embellishments like the confetti and the shaker element, really enhance and build on the sweet and simple design. You could even emboss the picture frame in gold! The possibilities are endless!

What would you add to this card?
