Side Accordian Card

 Hello,

Here's a different kind of fun fold (different for me, anyway). I've CASED if from Claire Ottaway. You can watch her YouTube video tutorial here →https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amRVkd1towc

It's very easy to make. I've adapted the measurements for imperial so that I will fit into a medium envelope.

Base:

Cut card stock to measure 10" x 4-1/4" and scored at 5-1/2, 6-3/4, 7-7/8 and 9 on the long side. Fold and burnish. 

Cut DSP for the inside of the base measuring 4" x 5-3/8". Adhere.

For each of the accordian panels cut DSP to measure 1" x 4". Adhere to each panel. (Refer to photo for placement).

  

Front:

Cut a piece of card stock measuring 3-1/4" x 9-1/2" and score at 4-3/4". Cut  DSP to measure 4-5/8"x 3-1/8". Cut 2. 

With the fold on the right side, adhere the DSP on the front and underside of the front piece. 

Adhere the front piece to the base by adding a small amount of glue on one end of the card stock and place on the first panel of the base. Then add some glue to the inside of the back piece and adhere to the fourth panel, making sure the front piece is centred top to bottom and side to side. 

Now decorate the front of the card with whatever embellishments and sentiment desired. Place a sentiment piece on the inside of the base. Nested dies are perfect for this. 

Give this fun fold a try. 

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time...
