PaperRose Golden Days Paper Collection | Accordian Gate Fun Fold

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8).

 

Base

5.5" x 9.5" Scored at 1/2, 2 5/8, 6 7/8 and 9" Fold these starting at 1/2" a mountain, valley, valley and mountain fold. If you are not sure what I mean watch the video below. It is easier to show than explain.

 

Cream Matt

3 15/16" x 5 1/4" or 10 x 13.3cm (1only of this)

1 7/8" x 5 1/4" or 4.8 x 13.3cm (4 of these)

 

Designer Paper

3 13/16 x 5" or 9.7 x 12.7cm (1)

1 3/4 x 5" or 4.4 x 12.4cm (4)

 

Accordian

3 x 10 5/8" Scored at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 4/8 and 8.5" Fold these starting at the 2 1/8 Mountain, valley, valley and mountain fold.

 

Cream Matt

1 7/8 x 2 3/4" or 4.8 x 7cm (5)

 

Designer Paper 

1 3/4 x 2 9/16" or 4.4 x 6.5cm (4) 

 

Once you cut the bases and scored them, you will need to place the accordian panel over the card base. It doesn't need to be exact, just roughly eyeball to the middle panels are both centered. We are NOT gluing anything down yet!

 

Using this as a guide draw a line on the 1/2" tabs. You need to cut these cut from the top down to a little below the line, this will help when we add everything together. Rotate the base and do the same to the bottom tabs.

 

It is easier to decorate before you add the accordian panel.

CASE me a Christmas Card 2025 | Beachy Christmas

Hi All, 

 

 Today I have a great honour to be involved with Michelle Lupton's annual Case me a Christmas Card. This time you get to have fun too. All month there has been hops, whether it is over on Instagram or on Youtube, and today you have a video hop. So follow along and comment and you can win. There is an amazing amount of retailers involved. I'm only disappointed I can not enter to win!

So if you don't know the aim of the game is to take a card the other person has made, in the past it was one of Michelle's. Take inspiration from the card and turn it into a Christmas Card, you can of course use a Christmas card and make it again to make it your own but it is fun to take an everyday card. 

 I had the pleasure of CASE Polite Creations AKA Natasha Polite. Soo many beautiful designs I actually found it hard to pick one! Here is what caught my eye.

 I am not a pink person but that is half the fun.

Altenew Build a Garden October Kit | Climbing Clematis

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Altenew Build a Garden October Kit.

 

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16) 

 

I deepened the shadows on both images using Polychromo Pencils. However, I changed the pencils from a Warm Grey (See above) and Cold Grey (See below) The difference doesn't come out as well as in person. Does it really matter in this case warm or cold... not really but I do prefer the warm grey tone.

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16)

Top of Whale

Bottom of Whale

Cold Grey III 232,  Cold Grey V 234 and Black 199

 

 

After cutting my cardstock down to fit the front of my card I used a Circle die to make the aperture (I used a stitched one just so I have a nice stitched circle to play with in the future, that is all) I inked the Ocean Waves Stamp with Versamark and used clear Embossing Ink . The background is then inked with Faded Jeans so it would have a slightly darker bottom than the top.

 

The inside of the circle is sponged with Weathered Wood and the clouds are stamped with the same ink. I wanted a patchy image for my clouds so a Distress Ink worked really well. I have used two Copics colours and  a white Gel Pen to enhance the background, including swipes of C1 alone. 

 

Walliebe is coloured with Polychromo Pencils. The sentiment was a pre foiled sentiment. I couldn't find it on Spellbinders, so hopefully it isn't discontinued as I really love it.

 

I think I have covered everything, Thank you for your time I really appreciate it.
