Introduction: Card, Supplies, Techniques
Part 1: Making the Cardfront- Cardboard Cutting & Tearing and Background Stamps
Part 2: Creating the Main Image Panel- Sewing & Paper Piecing
Part 3: Finishing the Main Image Panel- Scor-bug embossing, Paper Piecing, Sewing (optional)

Ribbon Pleating Tutorial
Apply adhesive strip to cardstock, ensure it covers end to end.
Starting from one side, stick ribbon and fold over to make a pleat.

For 2nd pleat, fold over so that the pleat touches the end of the one before it.
Your finished product should look like this!

Trim the tail, leaving some excess.
Turn to backside of cardstock, apply adhesive strips and fold tabs over.
FINISHED! Add brads, buttons, staples, sewing, or ruffle it up!
TIPS & TRICKS:
- If you mess up, just pull ribbon away from the adhesive and start over. No harm; No foul!
- Arrange your pleats differently for more FUNK
- Finish by adding embellishments!
- Make different sized pleats.
- Stamp with Staz-on onto your pleats!
