Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video


Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.  

Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap. 

Measurements:
Card base: 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
next layer 5 1/4" X 4", textured
White accordion fold 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 1", 2", 4" and 6"
Designer paper – 3 pieces 4" tall. 3/4", 1 1/4" and 2 3/4"
 
Supplies:
Stamps – Many Mates
Ink – Gorgeous Grape, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Black Memento
Card stock – Brights DSP, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Black
Punches – Tailored Tag, Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Lovely You Pick a Punch, Banner Triple
Other – Blends markers, rhinestone jewels, Dimensionals

  • Thoughtful Blooms; punch art vase & flowers!


    I made this cute, springy card on Facebook Live yesterday.  It features the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch.  Both are free right now with an order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

    That cute vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch.  Punch from patterned paper and cut it in half!

    You can see all of our free products here on the Sale-a-Bration page.  The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is full of cute floral images and sweet greetings. 

    It coordinates with the Small Bloom punch seen here.  *This punch may return in the annual catalog this summer but you can get it free now! 

    I used a bit of the Brights 6 X 6" designer series paper.  That's where the cute gingham designs come from.  Did you know we have gingham paper in every single color right now?  Each of our 6 color families have an assorted package with every color in the pack!  So cool!  The photo only shows one color but includes them all. See them all here.

    • Daffodil layer is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"

    • Vase is made with the Tailored Tag punch
    • The greeting is punched with the Classic Label punch
    • the gingham paper is 1" X 2" – 2 pieces; one for the top and one for the bottom.  No waste underneath the layers!

  • Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!


    I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

    I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

    The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

    The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

    For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

    Other Details

    • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
    • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
    • Granny Apple Green

    Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.
