How to:

From white card cut

(1x)  7″ x 4.5″

(1x)  8″ x 4.5″

(2x)  4.25″ x 5.5″

Score the 7″ x 4.5″ piece at 3.25″

Score the 8″ x 4.5″ at 1″ and 4.25″

Apply adhesive to the 1″ section of the 8″ x 4.5″ piece

Adhere the end of the 7″ x 4.5″ to the 1″  section of the 8″ x 4.5″ piece. Both end panels should measure 3.25″ wide and both centre panels should measure 3.75″ wide

Fold and crease all the score lines with a bone folder.

On each of then end panels, measure down 2.25″ on outer edge and cut diagonally from the inner scoreline.

From white card, cut

(2x)  3 1/8″ x 4 3/8″

(2x)  3 5/8″ x 4 3/8″

To cut the 3 1/8″ x 4 3/8″ end pieces diagonally, centre on top (do not stick it down) of the outer panel and mark with a pencil. Cut from the opposite top corner down to the pencil mark. Repeat for both end sections.

For the accordian part, cut patterned paper pieces:

(2x) 3″ x  3.75″

(2x) 3.5″ x  3.75″

Again, to cut the smaller patterned paper pieces diagonally, use the card base as a guide and mark with a pencil.

Adhere all the patterned paper pieces

Create pockets from each end section by applying adhesive to the each edge and the bottom only.

Cut 2 pieces of patterned paper measuring 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and stick one onto each of the  4.25″ x 5.5″ of white card you cut earlier. Remove the tape backing and adhere the first section of the accordian to the 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel, lining it up on the right side edge, but ensuring it doesn’t protrude over the edge. Repeat on the opposite end, using the second 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel – as shown below.

Cut a piece of white card measuring 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Close up the card and adhere this to the front of the card.

Add any extra design, as desired, inside. On this I used a hills border die.

Stamp all the images onto white card.

Colour with your desired medium and cut out using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentimet from Curvy Girl Gardener onto white card and cut out using a circle die of approximately 3″ in diameter.

Decorate the inside with the Little Bits Little Critters and Oddball Turtle, adding another white card circle to the second inner panel for a personal message.

Decorate the front of the card using Curvy Girl Gardener and Little Bits Little Critters. Embellish using enamel dots and a hand cut pennant from contrasting paper.

Centre panels.

Finally, cut 2 tags and insert them into the pockets. These pockets also fit gift cards.
