Prima Cartographer Papers, Accordion Card.

Hi Blog Friends here again to show you another project using the Prima Cartographer Papers that Ali sent me.

Just a reminder, here is the set:

 

And the die.

Clear instructions are given regarding how to put this card together and it is fairly easy to do.

Then it's up to you how to decorate it.

 

I began by cutting out the sections from the die and matting and layering the images from the set that I had decided to include.

 

And here is the finished card.

The back of the map sheet is white which allowed me to use the stamp to decorate the back.

I also used the paper flowers to add interest to the front cover.

Hope you enjoyed this project, the set is available at Ali-Craft here.

WOYWW #250 Accordion Kitty Card.

Hi WOYWW friends, hope you are all well and ready for this week's desk hunt. If you need more information about how to join us, visit Julia at A Stamping Ground.

Here is my desk for this week.
Fairly tidy lol!
There is a reason for this which I will tell you later.

 

 

Kitty cards for my friend, it is her birthday this week.
Decided to make her an accordion, card using some scrap book papers I have had for ages and not got round to using, they are called 'The Pet Scrapbook kit'. Incidentally she loves cats.

I have done some stamping to make the background using a  set of stamps called Paw Prints which I think may have been a free gift on a magazine.
I used the Karen Burniston die to make the accordion card, that's it at the back of the table.

 

I also used the dies that go with the Karen Burniston accordion die to create the mats.
This is one called the Labels and Stitched Frames.

And here is the finished card.

 

Only now I have to be honest, I am not really there and this is actually my desk this week.

 

And the view from the window.

 

I am sure you will forgive me for having two desks but I have been forced to go skiing in France.

 

Have a great week, back soon,

Halloween Accordion Card

Hi Bloggyfriends  time for Halloween cards and just had to try out the accordion die by Karen Burniston, so here goes.
This is my contribution to the DT projects this month over at the Ali-Craft blog.
It felt a bit strange for me when making this card as it doesn't have any stamping on it but I can live with it for once Lol!

For this card I have used:

• Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Papers and Stickers from Ali-Craft.
• Stiff Acetate.
• Tim Holtz Cobweb Sizzlits decorative strip available from Country View Crafts.
• Karen Burniston Accordion Flip 3D die from Country View Crafts.
• Sizzix Sizzlits Bats die.
• Tim Holtz spider from the Candlelight Fright Bigz die available from Country View Crafts.
• Stickles Glue.
• Gems.
• Metal Brads.

This card may look complicated but is actually quite easy to make and there are instructions which come with the die.

 Back of the Card.

• First die cut the chosen papers to create the front and back sections. I have used four sections but any number can be cut, it's your decision.

    I have also cut the same pieces in a plain card as I didn't feel that the patterned paper was stiff enough for this type of card.

   I know you are probably thinking this is a shame as the paper is double sided but that's life lol!

• Next, attach the die cut paper sections to the card sections and join together to create the front.
• Die cut the bats and attach to the acetate, these will need to be attached before the back is completed.
• Attach the pattened paper to the back and position the stickers.
• I did mat and layer some of the stickers before attaching them to the main sections and added metal brads.
• Complete with ribbons, gems, cobwebs and Stickles.

Hope you liked the card and will nip over to Ali-Craft to see what else the DT members have been making this month.

Crafty Hugs.
