Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #83. We'd love to see your fun fold creation.
Let's take a closer look and give you the deets, okay?
My inspiration came from Lisa Curcio. The only thing that is the same as Lisa's is the measurement for the pleated DSP.
Front: Very Vanilla card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Crumb Cake Mat: 4" x 5 1/4"
A Little Latte DSP: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Very Vanilla for pleated DSP backing: 2 3/8" x 3 7/8"
A Little Latte DSP for pleating: 4" x 7"
For the pleating, score at 1/2", 1", 2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4", 5", 5 1/2", 6 1/2". The first fold is a mountain fold, second is a valley fold and continue with that pattern, ending with a mountain fold. There are Stampin' Dimensionals along each 1/2" valley fold to keep the pleats raised. You can see a couple on the first pleat. I'll pretend I did it for you to notice...lol! The pleated panel is then adhered to the small piece of Very Vanilla.
I used a Latte Love Die to cut out the coffee cup and a Stylish Shapes Die to cut out the square for the sentiment from Latte Love Stamp Set. I used Pecan Pie ink. The inside is the same ink, same stamp set and another pattern of the DSP. I also used another pattern for the envelope flap.
Inside: A Little Latte DSP 4" x 5 1/4"
Very Vanilla for image and sentiment: 3" x 4"

Fantastic card, Karen! I love the pleated designer paper. This is a great suite of products and I seriously need to stop procrastinating and get it before it's gone for good. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, my friend!
