Accordion Heart Booklet

Hi Y'all!

Robyn here with my first digital design from

Suzannes's Cricut Design Space

If you are new to digital cutting and/or 3D designs this is a first project

to get you started with success!

There are 2 shapes, hearts that make the pages and squares that make the covers.

There are also a belly band and additional hearts for embellishments.

I chose to double the pages, and leave the tops open for inserts.

I had a postal theme going.

 

Suzanne's design file and instructions along with a video tutorial can be found on the Cricut Design Space here: https://design-beta.cricut.com/#/landing/project-detail/65f0d0d8133af4db0419495f

Ribbon closure 

Closed with inserts peeking out!

Supplies:

• Cricut Design Space digital file - Accordion Heart Booklet
• card stock
• ribbon
• adhesive
• postal stamps for embellishment 
• creativity!

I encourage you to give digital cutting a try.

These little easy-to-make boxes/dishes don’t just have to be for food treats!  They make great little decorations around the house or at a place setting.

Here is my project:

Have you seen all of the Stencil Cards that Suzanne has designed? I loved them at first sight, but knew I would deconstruct the parts to add my own twist to the design! I wanted to create a stencil from TCW Stencil Sheets.

I have been a long time Cricut user and did my cuts using the Cricut Maker. I uploaded the card file to my Design Space.

I hid the card base, I only wanted to cut the fern and sentiment. I also brought in a circle from the basic shape files included with my Design Space.

I detached the sentiment from the card, so they could be cut separately. I cut the fern and circle from the Stencil Sheets. From each pattern I got a stencil and a mask! The sentiment was cut from a sturdy white card stock.

Using the Fern stencil, I added a layer of embossing ink then embossed using QFD Acanthus Teal Modern Gilding Powder. I went in a second time with an embossing pen to select areas, to add  a second layer of gilding powder to give some added depth.

Using the circle stencil and Distress Oxide Inks I coloured where I wanted to place the sentiment. I also used the fern stencil a second time to add soft colour coming in from the edges of my card.

As a last afterthought, I splattered some Oxide spray over the card. The fern mask came in handy to keep the splatter off the embossed fern!

Thanks for checking in to my project! Can’t wait to see who the winners are!
