Basic Accordion Card Blanks

I created these designs to save you loads of time and frustration!  No measuring needed, just cut on your machine and assemble the layers (if needed or wanted!).  The hardest part will be choosing the papers!  You can stamp on the panels, letter on the base accordion, and add drawings or photos to these designs with ease. 

•  I've made you a Basic Square Accordion Card Blank which includes decorative panels if you wish to use them. Since we're limited by a 12" piece of paper, I've added a tabbed accordion so you can keep adding accordion panels to make your card as long as you want. If you wish to decorate both sides of the accordion, simply double the number of panels you cut!
• There Basic Rectangle Accordion Card Blank comes with decorative panels, both rectangular and oval.  Cut them all the same, vary them as I've done or don't use any! I've added a tabbed accordion so you can keep adding accordion panels to make your card as long as you want. If you wish to decorate both sides of the accordion, simply double the number of panels you cut! I've also added a belly band which works well when two sections of this accordion are joined.
•  There is a simple Stepped Accordion Card Blank that includes decorative panels if you wish to use them and there are enough to add to both sides of the accordion. An interesting variation on the basic accordion.
• There is another stepped accordion, but this one is angled. The Stepped Angled Accordion Card Blank also includes decorative panels if you wish to use them - enough for both sides. I really like this variation!
• The Tag Accordion Card Blank can be short or long. I've added a tabbed accordion so you can keep adding accordion panels to make your card as long as you want. If you wish to decorate both sides of the accordion, simply double the number of panels you cut!  For fun, add some ribbon to the holes at the top!

Let's Make Candy Dome Cards!

 These are just so cute and fun!  They'll be a big hit.  In this tutorial we're going to learn how to make them.  They're not hard, but there are some tricks!  So make sure you watch the video tutorial before you dive in.

I bought the candy domes on Amazon.  They are these ones:

They are plastic and they measure 9cm around x 3.5cm high which leaves room for a really nice number of jelly beans! Or carrots.  I suppose you could use carrots..... :-(

If you can't get those specific size domes, I have a way you can tweak the design so it works for you.  Just watch the tutorial! 

I'm sure I'll be making other candy dome designs, so it won't hurt if you buy a bunch in a package!

You can find these Easter Candy Dome Cards at my Silhouette Design Store! Design IDs: D-1265818, D-1265819, D-1265820, D-1265821, D-1265822, D-1265823

 

So choose your favourite design - or all of them and let's see how they're made!

Happy Creating,

Make the Bunny Numbers Interactive Baby Book

 Here is another cutie project to share with your favourite little person.

 

Make reading time special with a book made by you! This time we're doing numbers!

 

All the pages in this sweet baby or toddler interactive book can be bound with the cover by using ribbons or binder rings. Pull the flap down on each page to reveal a little peekaboo bunny and behind the little bunny is the number and the corresponding number of carrots! 

 

Decorate the binder rings with ribbons if you wish. Each page is three layers and if you use heavier cardstock it will be easier for little hands to hold.  I like to use different shades when I cut the little bunny in the interactive flap. 

 Unlike the Baby Kitty Colors Interactive Book, you can use any colours you wish for this book!

 

Here is a video tutorial to help you assemble the pages.

You can find all the elements to make this sweet book on my Silhouette store: https://bit.ly/2oAR9e6  Design IDs D-1262033, D-1262035, D-1262037, D-1262039, D-1262041, D-1262042, D-1262043, D-1262045, D-1262046, D-1262047 and D-1262048

Have fun!
