SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE
For this pleated paper technique, it is helpful to have a more solid/small print back with a larger print on the front! I’ve used the Wildly Flowering 12×12 Designer Paper for mine.
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Boho Blue cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded. Set aside.
- Cut a 4 x 11-1/2 piece of Wildly Flowering Designer Paper and score at 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10.
- Along the bottom, cut diagonally starting at the 3″ score mark until approx. 1-3/4″ down on the side.
- Starting at the 3″ with a valley fold, then mountain fold, alternating until the end. Press in the score lines.
- Adhere the pleats down approximately 3/4″ from top completely across.
- Some 1/4″ White Diagonal Trim Ribbon was added across the front and the ends secured on the back. The pleated piece was then added to the front of the base card. Do not adhere the bottom pleat area…you want some motion in the pleats.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the lower right corner.
- Cut the Spotlight on Nature circle from Basic White cardstock.
- Stamp the leaf image on one side with Mossy Meadow Ink. Color with Old Olive Combo Stampin’ Blends.
- Stamp butterfly with Memento Black Ink. Color with Light Balmy Blue and Boho Blue Combo Stampin’ Blends. Hand-cut and add to circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add two Moody Mauve In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots to circle, then add circle to the front of the card over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Beautiful card!! Haven’t seen this fold in awhile – very nice!
When I first saw your card, the white circle looks just like an old fashioned paper plate. (I can picture it on a card with a table setting. ?)
Thanks for all of your gorgeous cards!
Thank you so much! I love that paper…the technique is perfect for it!
