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.

These digital cutting files are available on

As always, you can contact me on my website if you have any questions (it's the most reliable place to see my answer!).

Happy creating! Suzanne

Best Sister


Hello digital friends!

Kora here again with a birthday card. It was my sister's birthday at the beginning of September, so I needed a card. The file comes with "best sister" or "best brother" :-) You can find the digital cutting file here

on the mat

 Best Sister cut 

I wanted to add some extra effect to the card so I decided on embossing the best sister lettering with red embossing powder.


The best sister lettering now has a wonderful shimmering look.

I chose a patterned paper (different shades of red) to mat the lettering. And of course some rhinestones. 


Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
Kora

Personalize a Card with Monogram Fonts

Although Monogram Fonts aren’t designed for creating text, they can be really fun to personalize a card! Many of my monogram fonts start with my basic Italic Capitals which I use for teaching calligraphy and this technique works especially well if the basic letterforms are the same in different fonts. It helps make the fonts interchangeable and easy to read when you mix and match them.
Here is how you can make an awesome card or nameplate!  If you are receiving this as an email update, click here to watch the video on YouTube.



Thanks for watching!  What will you do with your monogram fonts?!
