ADORABLE OWL ACCORDIAN FOLD CARD

Jan 25, 2023

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.


Measurements:
Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Thick Basic White, score at 4 1/4
Cut 5 1/4 x 4 Sweet Sorbet for front
Cut 3 x 5 Sweet Sorbet Country Gingham, die cut on right edge with scallop die from Around the Bend Bundle, adhere to the Sweet Sorbet cardstock
Color the Pool Party Sheer ribbon with Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blend, wrap around the middle of the previous two layers, attach to the front of the card
Die cut Basic White circle using 2nd from largest circle in Stylish Shapes Dies, stamp the owl in Tuxedo Black, color with Crumb Cake, Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie & Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends, attach to card front using Dimensionals
Stamp greeting from Charming Sentiments Bundle in Tuxedo Black on Basic White, die cut using dies in bundle
Tie a bow, attach with Mini Glue Dots, add bling


Inside:

Cut 1 x 8 1/2 Basic White, score at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8

Cut (4) 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 Basic White (when planning this out keep in mind that 1 3/4 is a good with for these panels because you only have 2 1/8 for each panel to adhere to) stamp image in Tuxedo Black, color with Crumb Cake, Sweet Sorbet, Pumpkin Pie & Tahitian Tide Stampin' Blends
Cut (4) 1 7/8 x 2 5/8 Sweet Sorbet, adhere these to the back of the panels with the image
Adhere 4 panels to 1" strip. See video for the easiest way to do this

This is the most adorable stamp set! The characters are so cute you won't want to miss out on this one. It also has dies that coordinate with it to make it even more adaptable.

For this one I used Summer Splash the last of the five colors in the 2024-26 In Color Collection. I used Trusty Tools Bundle and Happy Little Things to bring this color to life. This coordinates well with Pool Party, as suggested by the name, and Pretty Peacock.

This is the fourth of the five new 2024-26 In Colors Petunia Pop. I love this color and it fits in well with our color families. Here I have added Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia to the card as accents. I did partial die cutting using the Simply Zinnia Bundle and the Stampin' Cut Machine.
