Fancy Border

Do you remember this card? A while ago I was left a comment from Donna asking on how I did the fancy border. Sorry Donna it has taken so long to get back to you.

Cut 1" wide piece of cardstock or DSP, length is how long you want it.

Then used my border punch along one edge


next step is opional, I then crimped my DSP.


I placed a fold in every valley as per picture, very easy.


The finished result, you will need to use a lot adhesive and have a patience on getting into place.


I hope that helps.
