I will have a play later if I get time, quite busy just now.

Might I add that these type of folded weave or whatever it is called things often look better with a double sided card, maybe use a plain white and print each side with a different colour or digital texture or even glue two thinner contrasting cards together. Then the parts folded down have some contrast with the base colour if you see what I mean.

OK, Try this one..

I widened the diamonds and they should now tuck in correctly behind the next one down..

Nearly everything I cut that has folds I put fold lines in and 'cut' them with the embossing tool, the cutter does a better job than me and much faster when you have quite a few folds.
