Question Favorite techniques/tutorials for double-sided DSP?

Good afternoon, crafters!

I've got a nice supply of double-sided designer series paper (pre-printed patterned paper) already in my collection I'm making use of here and there, but I was just gifted quite a bit more for my birthday. I am wondering, for those of you who use or have used double-sided DSP, what are your favorite techniques and/or tutorials for making good use of these pretty things? I'd really love to narrow this down to hear just your "go to" for this, but if you don't have just one, please share some of your top picks.

Thanks in advance!

Diagonal Double Pocket Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers would be my number one.

Pleated Skirt Fold Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

Folded Paper Frame Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

I can think of several more, but I'll leave it at that. You're lucky to have an abundance, there are times I've had to sponge and stamp the plain white side for techniques that would have been better with double-sided.

Z-fold cards are great for showing off both sides of the DSP. I didn’t find a tutorial for the basic fold, but there are a variety of tutorials for fancier versions, including this one:

I like the pleated skirt card that Sabrina mentioned above.
