This week’s Facebook Live showed two ways to add accordion elements to the inside of cards. First, here’s a look at the card front using the Lots of Heart bundle from our current mini catalog with our upcoming In Colors. I have used four of our new In Colors – Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, and Pale Papaya. The gingham designer paper (from the Pansy Petals collection) and the new In Color products will be available May 4.
I am presenting the pictures and dimensions are here for easy reference, but you may need to see the video for complete instructions. Please click here to see the video – and please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notifications of all of my live videos.
The accordion hearts stretch open as you open the card.
The outer edges of the hearts are attached to each other with glue dots, and half of the first and last heart are fully adhered to the card base.
I also made a butterfly version with the Well Suited designer paper and Butterfly Brilliance bundle.
I used the Ice Cream Corner suite for my next accordion card.
In this case, the insert piece is accordion-pleated, and I have attached three ovals to the folds. The striped designer paper is from the Hydrangea Hill collection and it measures 5 1/4″ x 10″, scored at 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 7″,and 8″.
My second example of this card type uses Butterfly Brilliance with Fine Art designer paper.
