Poinsettia Cascading Pleat Fold Card

 It's June but I have to start thinking about Christmas cards now since I send over 200 of them. 

This fold was not hard to do and there are several instructional videos available. I chose to make a landscape card with a poinsettia theme. 

The flowers and greenery were stamped and die cut and I also cut some twigs from silver foil. The card base is a medium blue colour and I used dark blue cardstock for the mat layer and then grey patterned paper for the fronts. Each panel was decorated and some twigs and berries show behind the front panel, which is fine. In hindsight, I would cut the writing panel down a bit so it doesn't show when the card is folded. I added some flat silver gems but nothing dimensional so the card folds flat for mailing. 

Enjoy,
