Have you tried this design? I love to see your creations! Be sure to share them on #shareyourcrafts post every Saturday on my Facebook Page.
I decorated this card with the die cuts and elements from the Stampin’ Up Rustic Christmas Countdown kit. I think this kit is gorgeous.
Simply add a holiday word set to compliment the die cuts. I used the Brightest Glow Stamp Set for this card. 
The designer series paper is from the St Nick Designer Series Paper Collection.
This technique folds to a standard size envelope.
I’ll be sharing more tutorials from this Cascading Pleats Series over the next couple of weeks.
