Coffee Themed Charm Accordion

Good morning friends

Today's share is another sneak peek at Karen Burniston's (AMAZING) new release. The new dies will be available early next month - be sure to ask your local retailer to order them in for you!
For today's card I paired the new COFFEE CHARMS with the Charm Accordion. Below is the front of the card, in the closed position.

I used one of the hearts borders from the new CAKE TRIMS. The centre hearts fall away, so I cut the border from both red and brown adhesive backed card stock. Then I simply added the red hearts into the brown border on the front, and the brown hearts into the red border on the inside. These Cake Trims are going to come in handy for lots of things, not just decorating the new CAKE POP-UP.

Here is the card opened up. Normally I make a 2 page accordion, since the Charm Accordion cuts two at a time. But I wanted to use all of the new Coffee Charms, so made it a 4 page accordion by cutting it twice. The Charm Accordion comes with a die that cuts 4 jump rings, and usually I use that. But for this card I added actual jump rings from the jewelry department at our craft store.

I was trying to decide how to adhere the charm frame that joins the two accordion panels and helps them pivot. There is a hole for the jump ring, and the To Go cup charm didn't fit if the hole was at the top. I could have turned it around so the hole was at the bottom, and dangled the coffee cups from that but I liked the look of the cups all in a row. So I snipped off the bottom part of the charm frame so the To Go cups hang freely.

The two pieces were hinged with a strip of card stock to join the cards and again at the back to join the two accordion panels. The hinges are purely decorative. The Speech Bubble comes with the new TWIST SQUARE POP-UP, but as you can see all of Karen Burniston's dies work so well together!

I added foam tape at the top of the brown frame on the pivoting squares, so the charms would dangle  nicely.

Above you can see where I chose to add a folded strip of brown card stock to join the pivoting panels at the back, but you also have the option of joining them with another frame and you can hang another charm there as well.
