More Pleated Cards from My Latest You-Tube Video

Today I am sharing two more cards I made with the pleating technique I show in my newest YouTube video here. After pleating, you can choose to die cut shapes or the background such as in my second card below. I die cut several stitched butterflies using Lil' Inker dies and also punched one out with an older SU punch. I also die cut the shadow behind "happy" from the pleated floral dp using a new die set from Tonic Studios. On the inside I attached the second stitched and pleated butterfly and another pretty sentiment from Tonic Studios:

I was going for a vintage look on this card and after pleating the background, I embossed it with an embossing folder from Crafter's Companion and sponged with distress ink. The friends flower is a pretty die from Tutti Designs.

All week long I am sharing pleated cards and you can learn how to make them here in my latest YouTube video.

I am entering the first card in the Anything Goes challenge at Scrapy Land.
