I love the dahlia fold flower!! I was inspired by a card made by DannieGrvs. She has a link to Judy's tutorial that is so easy to follow. It is located here: http://www.handcraftedgreetings.com/dahlia.html
I used the Wintergreen DP. The tutorial calls for a 1 3/8 inch circle punch. I don't have that size so I used my whale of a punch circle which meas. 1 3/4 inch. I like how the dahlia flower looks somewhat like the flower on the b/g DP! Try this technique ladies and upload to Dahlia Fold and let's see what people do! TFL

Thanks for the link. I had been trying to get the fold with every posting and all I got was a nasty looking circle. Now I feel like I will be sucessful in folding. I love the card. I have a Stamping get together next Monday night. Hopefully I can master this and share it with the group.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....I just love these folded cards !! Have downloaded the patterns. Thanks so much. Could you share where you got your ticket punch for the corners ? Website hopefully.....
I've looked everywhere in my area and no one knows what I'm talking about.
Keep up the wonderful work. I'm going to do this in colors to look like a Christmas poinsetta !!
Thanks again for sharing.

The ticket punch came from Stampin Up! In the new catalog it is on page 182, #17 for $6.95! Hope you can get your hands on one soon!
Thank you for your most kind comments! Your idea for a Christmas poinsett is great! Cardstock might be too heavy to fold, but it's worth a try!

Judy whose tutorial link is above just notified me of the link change. What is printed up there now has been updated. The previous link will work for awhile, but she may drop it soon, so use the new one! Sorry for the confusion!
