Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.  

Save

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:

• The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
• The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing. 
• The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here.  I cannot recommend this folder enough!  I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
• The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes. 
• The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set.  It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 
• The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch.  It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
• See the Flight & Airy designer paper here.  It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
• The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer) 

But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it!

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc.  Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

• Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes

  September 21, 2021

  ---

  Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards?  You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are. 

  Save

  Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

  Save

  It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

  There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

  She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar! 

  Save

  She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.  

  Save

  And here's the template for the card stock insert.
