Boutique Blossoms Double Z Accordion Fold Card – Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing double Z accordion fold cards. I have made my card for my niece who has a birthday next week using the Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies with the Lovely Blossoms dsp. It was inspired by a card made by Karen Titus of Stamping on the Back Porch

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the Blossom Doubles Z Accordion Fold card using the following supplies:

Cloud Cover card base – 7½” by 5½” – scored on the long-side at 1½” and 3”
Basic White– 7½” by 1½” x 3 – scored on the long-side at 1½” and 3”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 4⅛” by 1⅜”
Lovely Blossoms dsp – 1⅜” by 1⅜”
Cloud Cover – 4¾” by 3¾”
Basic White – 4½” by 3½”
Secret Sea – 5⅜” by 4⅜”
Basic White – 5¼” by 4¼”
Scrap Basic White & Silver Foil

 

I folded and burnished the scorelines of the card base and the three white strips and glued the larger strips of Lovely Blossoms dsp to the larger areas of the Basic White strips. The smaller squares of dsp were then added to the square areas of the white strips.

 

Next, I adhered the longer side of the White strip to the smaller panel of the Cloud Cover card front beginning with the top strip, then the bottom strip and finally the middle strip.  to the I then added glue to the small squares and closed the card to adhere the whole thing together.

 

From the 4¾” by 3¾” piece of Cloud Cover I die cut an Everyday Arch and a smaller arch from the 4½” by 3½” piece of Basic White card.

 

I stamped ‘happy birthday’ from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set with Secret Sea and Strawberry Slush inks onto the White arch and glued the two arches together.

 

The flowers from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set were stamped on scrap Basic White card with Secret Sea ink and I added Strawberry Slush ink to colour the flowers. I stamped a selection of leaves with the same ink on scrap White card and added Secret Sea ink to the single leaves and Cloud Cover to the trio of leaves. All the images were die cut. I added the leaves to the flower and mounted the large one on the arched panel on Dimensionals and the smaller flower to the 5¼” by 4¼” piece of Basic White card for the back panel.

 

 

The dotage image was then randomly stamped around the flowers, and the arch was then glued to the front of the card.

 

From scrap Silver Foil I die cut the 50^th using the retired Little Numbers dies and added it to the back panel. The decorated panel was then glued to the Secret Sea panel and then to the back of the Cloud Cover card base. A trio of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.
