Mini Slimline Accordion for Father's Day

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Masculine Card Monday here on my blog. Today I'm sharing a Father's Day card using several different dies by Karen Burniston. The card base uses the new Landscape Rectangle Accordion, and I made it a 2 Page card with an additional solid page.

While it was fun, and something I wanted to try - I'm not too crazy about the solid page with a two page accordion. It works SO much better with a three page, as you can see HERE. But sometimes you have to try things out ...

The solid panel gives you space to decorate and add a signing block. I pulled out some older papers from my stash which always makes me feel good to use up.

The white area makes a great signing block...

The Hooray die cut was outlined with a grey marker after adhering it to the card, to create a shadow.

Below is the top view ...

***NOTE:  To create the solid back panel, cut cardstock to 6.5 x 3.5". Score 1/2" down the short left edge. Add adhesive to the 1/2" flap and adhere it to the end of your accordion, then add your decorative panels. This helps hide the seam.***
