Interlocking Accordion Card Blank

 Hi Y'all
Robyn here, slowly recovering from Hurricane Helene, and 
grateful that somehow my Cameo came through the storm in one functioning  piece!
Brand new or a veteran of digital cutting you are going to love
Suzannes card cutting blanks.
If you are just coming to digital from manual die cutting,
please give these a try.
It was hard to choose just one, and 
the Interlocking Accordion caught my eye!

On the Mat
All the engineering design is done for you.
All you have to do is ungroup, 
and choose your background foundation paper, and
coordinating panel papers!
Lots of room on the front and back for personal messaging 
and/or stamping/ die cutting /stenciling.

You can find an assembly video 
here
along with
multiple other card blank files!
I dont know where this cars is going so haven't embellished the front or back.

Advanced Accordion Card Blanks

 I've done all the measuring for you! YAY! Just choose great paper, cut on your machine and assemble the layers (if needed or wanted!).  You can stamp on the panels, letter on the base accordion, and add drawings or photos to these designs with ease. 

 


  • The Stepped Fold Accordion - Card Blank has panels that increase in size. Very cool! Tons of opportunities for stunning colour combinations.

  • The Panel Insert Accordion - Card Blank comes with insert panels which include onlay panels.  This card is great if you like doing your artwork on separate pieces of paper, but love to keep them together. I've added a belly band which works to stop the accordion from springing open when filled. 

  •  The Interlocking Accordion - Card Blank is a stunning card, which includes decorative panels if you wish to use them. Make sure you watch the assembly video for tips and tricks.

  • The Diamond Fold Accordion - Card Blank also includes decorative panels if you wish to use them. There are so many creative possibilities here!

  •  There is a simple Boxed Accordion - Card Blank that includes decorative panels if you wish to use them. It's a fun surprise for the person opening the box! Use the tabbed accordion strip to to add even more length to your accordion.

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: 

https://amzn.to/3FV70Mg  

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!

Here is the link to the video on YouTube.

Happy Creating,
