Pretty Paper Folding

I love new techniques - especially when they are EASY!!  I received this pretty birthday card from fellow-demonstrator Gayle.  I loved it and knew I'd want to CASE it real soon!

Isn't the folded focal point cool? And it is super easy.  Just take a 4" square of Designer Series Paper, fold it in half each way, unfold it totally and then fold each corner in to the center so the points meet - and lastly fold each of those corners back out a little bit.  Embellish the center and attach the whole thing to your card using Dimensionals.  Here is my version, which I presented at one of my CLOclub classes:

Double Pocket Pouch Gift Bags

Have a few little treats you need to deliver in style?  Look no further than the easy folded Double Pocket Pouch!  Made with an 8" square piece of Designer Series Paper, you can have elegant packaging in no time!

There is a pocket on each side, so you have double the fun!  And the ribbon keeps the two halves together at the top.

 

The Double Pocket Pouch is all about the folding - no adhesive necessary!  I only used Dimensionals to attach the scallop circles along the bottom edge.
