 March 2023 Card Layout #1 Accordion Fun Fold Card

SU’s Irresistible Blooms Bundle and Hello, Irresistible DSP

Stampin’ Up! Irresistible Blooms Bundle is now available to customers as of today, March 1, 2023. The DSP reveals the return of two former SU colors - Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. I was lucky enough to still have the cardstock and ink for these colors in my stash!! So, this card was made using the two colors which will be returning soon this year and the Hello, Irresistible DSP.

This is an accordion fun fold card. It has some fun layers. I needed a paper clip to hold the card in place in order to get a good picture.

Measurements:

• Card base 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” cardstock
• White cardstock 4 1/4” x 11” and scrap for image and sentiment
• Embossed layer 4” x 5 1/4”
• DSP 1 1/4” x 4”; 2 1/4” x 4; 1/2” x 4”; and 2 1/2” x 6” for the envelope

Directions:

• Adhere the embossed layer to the card base.
• Score the white cardstock @ 1 1/2”, 3”, 5 1/2” and 8”. Burnish the folds to make the accordion.
• Adhere the DSP panels to the layers of the accordion fold.
• Stamp label, then adhere label and images for the front panel of the accordion fold. I stamped a floral image with Versamark and heat embossed white embossing powder. I die cut it and a label.  I stamped the label with the sentiment.
• Adhere the accordion fold to the embossed layer on the card front.
• Add embellishments.
• Adhere the DSP for the envelope to the envelope and trim.

The products needed to make this card can be found in my Online Store. The Lost Lagoon cardstock is not available at this time.
