Valentines with the Drapery Fold

Hello cardmakers!  I am just getting started on my Valentines.  I hope that I will have enough time to make them all.  For these cards, I decided to use some of my free magazine papers and do drapery folds.  

There are so many various instructions available online for these folds. I will just list a couple links below.  It is also called the Pleated Skirt Fold.  I did one that was a horizontal and one that is vertical.  



Drapery card instructions found at these site:




I’d love to enter these cards in Cards in Envy’s Love Me or My Pet challenge.

Thanks for your visit today!
