ADORABLE OWL ACCORDIAN FOLD CARD

This is a fun little card that we created many years ago using different products. One of my team members came to me with a card that I had done in a class years ago and wanted to know how it was made. So I thought what better way to show her how than making a cute card with one of the current stamp sets. The owl presented some challenges because of the size of one was much larger than the others but it was easy to make it work. You must keep in mind that your inside is only so big!

This is what we used to call an accordion card. Now there are many ways to do an accordion card, this is what she wanted to know.
