Rectangle Accordion Daisy card

So bummed, I’ve been too busy to play in my craft room ☹️. So I thought I’d scroll through my photos to see if I had a card that I hadn’t posted yet, and I came across these photos. I actually edited and created the slides below last spring and forgot to make a post 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope as I scroll through I will remember the steps that I took. Here goes.….

All the fun is in the reveal, to see this card in action please check out my FACEBOOK page, feel free to join if you would like to share your own crafty creations. You can also see a video of this card on my INSTAGRAM page.

This is a card that I made when the Cupcake Add ons first came out and I was trying to find an alternative way to use them.

1A- cut out 3 blue cardstock and 6 (3 shown) yellow patterned paper using the Landscape Rectangle Accordion dieset.

B- cut the centers out of the yellow rectangles.

C- add the frames to the front of the blue rectangles

2- I die-cut the pieces as shown.

A-Cupcake Add on B- Autumn Elements C- Fun Flowers D- Twist Flower Pop Up

Karen has a video tutorial on the Product page that explains how to add the the cupcake panel to the rectangles.

A- draw pencil lines as shown

B- trim on the lines

C- add the cupcake piece as shown

4- add the daisys to the top panel as shown, I left the center panel intact and add the layers and daisy. I also add the Happy Birthday, the third panel I tried something different, shown in step 5B

Here is the backside of the panels.

5A- shows the first panel.

B- is the last panel, I tried to just add the large daisy to the middle then add the other pieces, I wanted to see if I could make it without the cupcake piece, it was doable but more complicated.

C- I added daisy to the back side and “love” from the Pop n Swap set

I did not add the yellow paper to the backs yet as I wanted to connect the panels first.

6- connect and fold the panels as shown. I needed to add an extra leaf to connect the last center daisys to the center of the center panel

Add the yellow frames to the backside of the panels. I had to cut the frame to work it around the middle mechanism but it is not visible when completed. I also added gold marker and white gel pen to accent the daisys.
