I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
This blog is a place to share my creations to make you smile and sometimes laugh.
I love card making and scrap booking plus a WHOLE lot more! I am definitely a child of the 70's and 80's too! I LOVE Pinterest too!!
When I first saw this card on Pinterest, I was intrigued.
How does it close? How is the connector attached? This is my version of this card, and I named it, Accordian Surprise card.
For this version, I used the Happy Hibiscus embossing folder, and created a "connector" similar to the one I used for the Kintsugi Inspirations Triple Arch cards I made before.
For this one, I used the Sunflower 3D embossing folder and a Daffodil Delight connector.
To make the connector, I cut out 2 shapes from the Nested Essentials and made a connector with a 1-1/2" X 2", scored at 1". Here is the back of the connector.
Here is the back of the connector. I made sure when the connector is folded in half, it matches perfectly.
Here are the pieces of the card you need to make this card yourself.
Iwas inspired by Connie Stewart, and I made these Cascading Pleated cards. You can make 2 card bases from one sheet of 8-1/2 X 11" and I used the lovely Botanical Textures DSP.
This is the view from the top of the card so you can see the layers.
I created a template from Connie's instructions to use for making card bases for my card class.
Here are the card ingredients:

Inspired by Lynn Starzl and her card, I created the Triple Arch card. Scroll to the bottom for a full video tutorial including measurements.
I used the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP and the Everyday Arches dies. I used the 4th die. This is the card closed.
I cut out 2 colored cardstock (Misty Moonlight) 2 Basic White, and 2 out of the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP.
To connect them I used 2 pieces of Basic White measuring 1-1/2" X 2" scored at 1" and used them as connectors on the "back" of the die cuts. I flipped the trio over and added the DSP.
This is the card opened showing the front where I decorated it with some of the die cuts from the DSP.
This is the back of the card where there is room for your writing.

Here is the full video tutorial to make these cards.
Start with the two pieces, the card base and the front part. Fold along the score lines, like this:
Attach the DSP to the large part of the front of the card and the larger side of the card base. It will be the back of the card.
You punch out the front of the card and DSP. Then, use the hole as a template to trace with pencil on the card base. Adhere the front to the card base, matching the holes. Then, use the hole to trace the spot on the second section of the card base.
