TLC205 Paper Pleats card. I was inspired to do pleated flowers when I saw the pretty pleated flower card in the new SAB catty. Then last weeks TLC was for a paper pleated card....perfect timing :-) I used SU's retired "Uptown" designer paper for my flowers and BG paper. I cut a 3/4" by 12" strip and a 1/2" by 12" strip for the two flowers using different sides of the DP. Used another side for the BG paper. I then used my Scor-Pal to score each strip every 1/2". You can score on your paper cutter using a stylus also. I folded at the scores and then fanned the flower and then glued the ends together. Discovered that gluing after fanning worked the best. I punched the center circle using my 1/2" punch and attached with mini glue dots. A really fun card to make. You make bigger flowers by cutting your strip wider. I am going to make at our next hostess club party using only one flower per card front and current DP.
This card will have to be hand delivered or in a padded envelope or box to mail. Very dimensional, but really, really fun to make. Enjoy, TFL......

I like how your torn border at the bottom matches one of the flowers, and how you used ribbon for the stems. Thanks for the detailed directions. Should be easy to follow--and fun!
