Angled Iron Cross Wrap Modification: 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's spotlight shines on a smart modification to an angled wrap format. A simple dieline tweak transforms the piece into an iron cross — while holding all of the characteristics of a wrap! Shimmery, angled panels form a dynamic cover and open with flair.
This Mother's Day event invitation from Gold Strike an MGM Resort Destination was produced by Hederman Brothers of Madison, Miss., on their HP Indigo digital press. It's simply lovely.
