I'd thought I'd go for a super-simple challenge this week. I was looking through some notes I had jotted down after "borrowing" an e-book a couple of years ago; I made a few notes before I had to return it, and I think this is one that most people should be able to do.
Simply
punch (or die-cut) a decorative border, and then
pleat it and use it on your card.
You can use narrow tape to hold the pleats together if you like, I chose to stitch mine.
If you need a longer strip of pleated border - you can punch/cut two shorter ones, and then just overlap them slightly so that the join is hidden under a pleat!
Here's a link to our
TLC526 Punch and Pleat gallery.
Here's my card:
Punch and Pleat Birthday.
We do have a gallery for paper pleating - and an associated tutorial.
If you'd like to check out the tutorial it's
HERE, but remember for
THIS particular challenge, you must use a
die-cut or punched border strip for pleating.
