Pleated Message Mail Art

 I so enjoyed Bel Mills class on pleated message cards (Skillshare), I had to make one for a birthday card.  I only put one pleated message in the card, although there is room for two, because I am going to put a gift card on the bottom part.  I won't be mailing this as us, but, will put it in an envelope so the gift card doesn't get lost!

Bel's discussion of paper grain was so helpful, too!  I have long wondered why sometimes my adhered papers buckled or why folds would become cracked!  Now I will have matching grains for neater projects!
