Impressions Abloom and a Four Panel Accordian Fun Fold card - old and new together.

This is one of the Fancy fold cards which we will be creating at my June Card Class

I had fun creating this card which is another great design to use up some of your DSP stash. My friend Janine Rawlins put me on to this tutorial, although I am sure there are plenty out there for a similar design as it is not new. This version is from Connie Stewart - Simply Simple Stamping. She calls it a 4 Panel Accordian Fun Fold card.

I created her imperial version first but this is adapted to be closer to Australian dimensions.

• Cardbase 12 x 5 3/4" Score at 1 3/4, 4 3/4, 7 3/4"  
• ( this size is 14.5 x 10cm which is close to our standard 14.8 x 10.5)
• white card insert 4 x 5 1/2"
• white card and mat for sentiment as desired
• DSP 
• 1 1/2 x 5 1/2  cut 2
• 2 3/4 x 5 1/2  cut 2
• 1 1/4 x 5 1/2  

I've created a few recently experimenting with different papers and colours. This one was a great woodgrain background to show off some new Flower Dies which are coming May 6th. They are part of a new suite and while I have not acquired the stampset, the dies are able to be used as a stand alone product. They are quite useful as they cut and emboss the detail on the flower in one pass of the DieCut and Emboss machine. You can also use just the outline for the flower shapes, the flower centres and the leaves if you have stamped them. The set also comes with 2 gorgeous large oval dies , one of which creates both a detailed narrow frame, and second oval which will nest beautifully on the larger one.

I really look forward to using these dies for some more projects. 

You can find all these amazing products and plenty more in my Online Store.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,
