NEW Paisley Cartridge

OH MY GOODNESS !!!!  this cartridge is even cuter than I had hoped for.  The name of it is a little misleading as there are only 3 images of paisley on it !!

This cartridge (along with Sweet Treats) are currently only available in Europe.  Maybe Provo Craft are trying to sweeten us up after not allowing us to have the Hello Kitty cartridge !!

Whatever their reasons.......I am thrilled to have mine and am having sooooo much fun with it.

So...here is a view of what's on this cartridge

And here are a few of the cards I have made with it...

  
 
 

 
 

Directions for the step/concertina card

You will need:

Piece of cardstock 8" x 12", pencil, ruler and scoring board (optional)

How to:

DOH !!!  the bottom score lines should all be the other way !!  ie: where it says mountain it should say valley and vice versa.....sorry everyone !!

1. Place the card in landscsape mode and measure down 2" on each short side and make a small pencil  mark.  Draw a faint pencil line between the two marks.

2. Now score from bottom upto pencil line at 2" and 4".

3. Score completely from top to bottom at 6".

4. Repeat step 2 at 8" and 10".

5. Following the above diagram, cut between points A and B.

6. Again, using the diagram to help you, fold each piece as shown.

7. A mountain fold pops out towards you and a valley fold goes away from you.

Here are some the cards I have made using this technique
