This effect is made by adding score lines at specific intervals or at alternating intervals. I have seen many different measurements for this fun fold.
For this card, I cut a 3" x 6" piece of Playful Palette DSP. I scored it at 2", 2-1/4", 3-1/4", 3-1/2", 4-1/2", and 4-3/4". Then I measured 1-1/4" from the top right corner and made a mark. I lined up this mark with the 2" score line in the cutting track of the trimmer and cut. Next, I folded each pleat and adhered them in place.
I think the widths of and the number of pleats are personal choice. Try varying the width and number of pleats until you find what is most pleasing to you.
For the inside, I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla matte and a 1" x 4" Playful Palette DSP strip. I wasn't entirely happy with the front of the card. I had already glued everything down and could not move anything without tearing the paper. So, I made a second curtain fold card.
Instead of a plain piece of Very Vanilla underneath the curtain, I embossed the Very Vanilla with the Elegant Dots TIEF. I also changed the flower and added a pearl. The inside is the same except I used the back of the DSP used in the first card. I also changed the mark on the upper right corner to 1" instead of 1-1/4".
I hope you give the curtain fold a try! I would love to see what you make!
Thanks for stopping by!
