Brilliant Accordion Fun Fold card; it’s a big WOW!


If you ever want to impress someone with an extra special hand made card, try one of these Accordion cards.  They are so easy to make it looks fancy and a bit tricky. 

I used the Daffodil Afternoon designer paper from our current Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here and get it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  

The neat greetings are all from the Special Moments stamp set; another free choice from our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February.  See all of our free SAB choices here. 

Details:

  • The colors are Crushed Curry & Mossy Meadow with a bit of Flirty Flamingo.
  • Beautiful Layer dies – greeting die-cut shapes 
  • Medium Daisy punch – flowers (sponged color on the edges)
  • Daffodil dies – stems & daisy centers 
  • Bough punch – leaves

 The fold is actually quite simple for the inside of this card.  I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done.  

Accordion card measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”
  • DSP 5 ¼” X 10” scored at 2”, 3”, 4”, 5”, 6”, 7” & 8”
  • Vanilla 3 ½” X 4 ¾” for front & 1 ¾” X 4 ¾” inside

  • Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video


    Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video.  It’s so fun!

    My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here. 

    This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors.  Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here).  The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!  

    Watch the video below to see how it’s done.  It’s super fun and such a cool effect.  

    I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges.  Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.  

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Just click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Artistic Leaves Joseph’s Coat

  • A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts


    Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

    I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

    These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

    This technique involves a few steps:

    1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
    2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
    3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
    4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
    5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
    6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

    Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

    I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!
