Love this idea!!!!
I would like to know the papers used in this video please
The papers are from the Imagine That! and Mermaid Cove collections.
I love this idea of the fold over layout. I tried it with the folded paper folded on an angle as well with 2 folds so that there is no over hanging paper. It works great and gives a different look to my page
Tried a few of these at our NSD. Great looking and SO easy!
Please identify the papers used! Thanks.
Hi Christy – The papers are from the Imagine That! and Mermaid Cove collections that launched back in December.
Great idea! So easy and looks like it it took a long time to make!!
Love the video included with the instructions.
I also love the paper!
bonus, you could also use the ‘folded-over’ area as a pocket, if you had something you wanted to tuck into that space!! I will definitely be making a couple layouts using this technique, for sure.
Great idea! Glad you like this technique :)
