Designer Series Paper Accordion Fold

Who doesn’t love Designer Series Paper? And we all know Stampin’ Up! has the best collection of papers, Showcasing in most packs a soft pattern on one side and a printed design on the opposite. Well today’s Fun Fold Card let’s you show off both sides with this accordion fold The cool thing is you can get three cards out of every sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper. This card was inspired by a card I received from Leigh Amburgey, from Stamp With Leigh.

Here is the card openend.

I chose to use the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series again on this card. It seems I have been using this paper a lot lately in my Fun Fold Videos. Let you in on a little secret, the New Stampin’ Up! Catalog coming out in May has so many beautiful papers. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen that many new papers in a new catalog. Can’t wait to showcase them. Even the background green that I embossed with the Lazy Daisy 3D Embossing Folder is from this pack of paper.

You need to start with a piece of Designer Series Paper that measurers 4″ x 10 1/2. You are able to get four of these cards out of one piece of 12″ x 12″ paper. Next you will score it along the 10 1/2″ side at 2 1/2″, 5 1/8″, 7 3/4″ and finally at 8 7/8″. This accordion is then adhered to a card base that measurers 5 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and is scored at the 2 1/4″ mark.

The two pieces of designer series paper that are in green measure 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2 1/16″ x 5 1/4″. The two pieces of Petal Pink for the accent layer measure 1 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and 1 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ Inside the card where you would write your greeting those pieces of cardstock measure 2 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ and 2 3/8″ x 3 3/4″. I know this sounds like a lot, but it is relatively easy to make once you watch the video.

Noticed I used the beautiful Scalloped Wishes Bundle for the front of the card. this is the Bundle I feature this month in my Customer Appreciation Video.

Stampin’ Up! will soon have a new catalog. As with every thing it seems right now, we will be seeing some increases in prices. Look over the list, and shop before these increases take affect.
