CI#137 Accordion Fun Fold

You know I love a fun fold and I found this design on Pinterest recently

We made it in our January class in orchid Oasis using the Dainty Delight stamp and dies and the DSP from Fancy Flora. Today's version uses the gorgeous colour palette for CI#137. It also uses Dainty Delight and Amazing Year





The gorgeous Dainty Delight bundle is so easy to use.


I have a link to the imperial version but the card we made fits a standard C6 (metric).

Here are the measurements.

Instructions:

Assemble the 2 panels first.

Burnish your M-V-M-V folds. At this point it doesn't matter which side you choose as the front, as the card is the same front and back

Adhere the middle panel first with even space above and below. Align the left edge 2-3 mm from the first Valley fold. T'hen open the card flat and adhere the front panel, keeping top and bottom edges lined up with the first panel you attached. Be mindful of only applying glue to the area to be adhered to the concertina section of the card base - you will have free edges of each panel which need to be mobile.

My photo is taken on the reverse,(and it's upside down)  so even though the folds look incorrect the correct order is M-V-M-V!

And below is the class version on the left. You can always emboss your DSP with a folder for added interest. I've used the painted texture folder here.

This overhead view gives you a good idea of where the panels sit on the folds.

I hope you give this great card fold a try. And pop back tomorrow as I will have another sample using a coloured card base.

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
