June Mystery Card Monday

Hi crafty friends!

I have a fun fold card that I call an Accordion Card for you today. It’s easy-peasy to make and I hope you’ll try it. Let’s get started!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • CARDSTOCK: Card Base: 5-1/2 x 10-1/8 inches; score in landscape orientation at 4-1/4, 5-3/4, 7-1/4, and 8-3/4 inches
  • DESIGNER SERIES PAPER: 1-3/8 x 5-3/8 inches (Cut 3 of these)
    • 1-1/8 x 5-3/8 inches (Cut 1)
    • NEUTRAL CARDSTOCK: 4 x 5-1/4 inches
    • FOCAL LAYER: Suggest it be 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches, but it could be any shape: circle, square, rectangle, oval, etc.
    • HELPFUL TOOLS: Simply Scored Tool, Paper Trimmer, adhesive of choice, bone folder, ink pad(s), maybe dies, stamps, embellishments, etc.
  1. With card base in landscape orientation, score as directed above. Rotate card base so 4 x 5-1/4 inch side is on the right.

2. Adhere 1-1/8 x 5-3/8 inch strip to left panel. Decorate 4 x 5-1/4 inch inside layer.

Adhere 1-3/8 x 5-3/8 inch panels.

This card is “mantel-worthy.” It can stand on its own.

I decided to use matching ribbon to keep the folds together for mailing.

Hope you like it!! Have a great stamp-happy day!

April Mystery Card Monday – April Fool’s Day!

Dear crafty friends,

About a week ago, several crafty friends and I made a “Mystery Card” that I had put together. I gave them the “clues” to help them prepare for the Zoom event where we put our cards together. I have this event every month and it’s a blast! I’m going to show you the Mystery Cards from two of my attendees. The first card was made by Diane. The cards are a type of Z-fold card. Perhaps you can see why 🙂

Thanks for sharing your card design, Diane!

The next Mystery Card was done by Marilyn.

Thank you, too, Marilyn, for sharing your design!

Great job, ladies! I will share my design in a day or two, as I wanted to remake my card. Stay tuned!
