Accordion Flip Card | Hot Air Balloon
The colors alone will grab your attention on this card! The cloud background is created using a self-made stencil and dies. Don’t miss the video for all the tips and tricks on this easy technique.
Large images are often a challenge to stamp solid. I used the Misti HERE to create these balloons which eliminated my repeated attempts at wasting paper. This stamp positioner will allow you to add several layers, perfectly placed, to achieve the perfect bold image!
Fun Fold Flip
The inside of this card provides a surprising flip, with two panels in opposite directions, that swivel to reveal the sentiments.
A smaller greeting at the top allowed extra space to add an additional image. The designer paper that coordinates with this suite of products is a ‘must have’. This hot air balloon was die cut from the designer paper.
Accordion Flip Card | Kiddin’ Around
Mystical and fun is how I describe this adorable image. Perfect for the kids, this simple color palette allows the coordinating dies and images to be the star of this card.
I used the Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based marker to highlight the stitched bricks in the castle. It provides added depth and best of all, you don’t have to be precise.
The Holographic paper is perfect for the stars. With an array of tones, this package of specialty paper will enhance any celebration project.
Don’t forget the small details such as adding a stamped image or partial die cut image to a section of your card where you’ll sign it. It’s a great way to bring coordination throughout your project.
Accordion Flip Card | Construction Zone
Whether creating this card for the handyman in your life or for the kids, the Construction Zone stamp set is easy to use and provides for lots of creative freedom.
Once again I used the Misti to stamp these images. This tool provided me with not only an opportunity to double stamp the image so it was nice and solid, but allowed for perfect positioning of my construction worker.
A sponge dauber was used to add color to this black and white Rock & Roll designer paper. Black and white paper is among the most versatile papers in your craft area simply because colors can easily be added for a custom look.
The images in this stamp set work perfectly for this flip card. With a great assortment of accessory images in this stamp set you’ll be creating your own construction scenes quickly and easily.
