Legendary Ride Accordion Fold Card

First of all, I want to let you know the Comment feature of this blog is now working thanks to the amazing Brian at Integrant Services! So PLEASE leave your comments!!!

Yesterday I made an Accordion Fold Card while watching Cindy Brumbaugh on YouTube using the oh so adorable Day at the Farm Designer Series Paper (free Sale-a-bration item when you order $50 in product). As I was making the card with Cindy, I was wondering if the style would work with my new favorite Legendary Ride Bundle! Let me know what you think!

I really wanted to use some of this glossy, tire-tread designer series paper.

There are two sizes of motorcycles in the stamp set so I stamped the smaller one on the envelope.

This side view shows the accordion fold. I started the card off with a piece of Basic White on the far right but wanted to change to Very Vanilla…enter the Heat Tool, most often used for Heat Embossing. I just heated the back side of the card and was able to easily peel the Basic White cardstock off so I could put the Very Vanilla piece on.

CARD RECIPE:

Legendary Ride Bundle (includes Stamp Set and Dies)

Card Base: Basic Black Cardstock cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″; scored at 2 3/4″, 4 1/4″, 7 1/4″ and 8 1/2″

Pumpkin Pie Cardstock cut at 4″ x 4″; scraps for Stylish Shapes Banner Die, cut two

Ready to Ride Designer Series Paper cut two different patterns at 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″

Very Vanilla Cardstock cut at 2 1/4″ X 4″ and two circles cut with the 3rd largest Stylish Shapes Circle Die.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fold card base on score lines in an accordion fold manner
2. Adhere Designer Series Paper to the Pumpkin Pie Cardstock pieces
3. Adhere Paper Pumpkin Cardstock pieces to card base following pictures above
4. Stamp the wrench on the Very Vanilla Cardstock and adhere to far right leaving a border and making sure it is covered by the piece that folds over it.
5. Stamp the large motorcycle and cut out with coordinating die. Adhere to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals or foam tape.
6. Cut two Stylish Shapes Circles and stamp sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used my Stamparatus stamp positioning tool to stamp the sentiments THEN cut out with the Stylish Shapes Circles
7. Cut two banners from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock; adhere behind the Sentiment Circles and adhere the circles to the card base as shown above.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it!
