Accordion Card | So Refreshing

There’s nothing like a bouquet of fresh flowers and these won’t ever wilt! Create bouquets or create pitchers of your favorite beverage. The So Refreshing Bundle does it all!

The die cut opening is the secret to this expanding card layout. I chose the Countryside Corners dies. Choose any shape you like, just be certain the accordion cardstock threads through them easily and there are graduated sizes to the dies you select. Today’s video provides lots of tips for assembly.

Lemonade, iced tea, pink lemonade, fruit punch, even Sangrias can be the theme of your card. The individual stamp to fill the pitcher allows you to choose the color of your choice. Plus, it’s a photopolymer stamp which makes alignment is easy!

Slice the lemons and attach them to these adorable glasses. Don’t worry about this being ‘work’. There’s dies for all the pieces!

Accordion Card | Expanded View

This is a fun fold that anyone would want to display. Need more room to write a personal message? Add a layer to the backside.

Accordion Card | Beautiful Balloons

You can’t go wrong with balloons and this one sits nicely on the belly band for the closure of this card. 

The arched greeting in this stamp set is perfect for around the balloon edges. It adds character and instant texture with this one stamp.

This simple color palette would be perfect for masculine cards. The coordinating Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper creates the layers for this card.

View the Panels

Unlike the first card, the openings for these panels are creating using the Nested Essentials Dies. This set of dies includes three different shapes with graduated sizes. Perfect for layering!

The So Refreshing card used only designer paper on the inner two panels of the accordion fold. Here I opted to try adding smaller images. While I’m happy with the look, they aren’t entirely necessary so keep that in mind when creating. Gorgeous designer paper can fill lots of ’empty’ spaces.

XXXXX |Let’s Go Shopping

The ability to build your own town and theme makes the Let’s Go Shopping Suite of products an outstanding choice. Best of all, you can choose to die cut the buildings from the coordinating Les Shoppes 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and forgo stamping.

The dies to this Bundle include varied accessories like the vines I used on the room of the store. I added the Loose flowers Embellishments with small drops of liquid glue using the Precision Tip Glue Applicator HERE. 

I used ribbon for the closure of this card and chose to tie it in a single loop bow. You can learn how to make a single loop bow by watching my YouTube Short video HERE.

Inside Panels

The canopy for the door to this store was created using the dies. The lamp post and pot are also part of the dies. Stampin’ Up! didn’t miss a detail when creating this Bundle!

multi panel card

Having empty space at the top of this panel meant it needed to be filled. I created a faux planter with cardstock and added more die cut vines and Loose Flowers Embellishments.
