hello Winter

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great weekend! I have an awesome Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share today created with papers, die cut pieces, stamps and dies in the new Snow Day Collection! OMGoodness, yumminess to the third degree here, folks! The colors in this collection are amazing and absolutely fitting for Winter-themed projects! I created a double pleated card, also known as a drapery fold, with a little twist. Our papers are robust, so instead of folding the paper, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. This took a little extra time but yielded a very cool design which was flatter than it would have been folded.

I cut a standard A2 size side-folding landscape card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a navy paper in the 12×12 Collection Pack. I cut the pleated panel from a coordinating print and instead of folding, I cut it in strips and reassembled it. I added a horizontal strip across the front of the panel and added the sentiment pieces from the Words and Phrases Die Cut Pieces. The finishing touch was adding several Clear Enamel Dots.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover triangle cut from the pleated panel on the front. I stamped a sentiment in Memento Paris Dusk ink from the Collection Stamp and cut it with an Outline Die. The final step was adhering the panel to a navy layer.
