Halloween Accordion Card

As soon as I saw Karen Burniston's Fence Add-On for the Landscape Accordion, I knew exactly how I wanted to use it first. I haven't made a Landscape Accordion in awhile and when I was die cutting this one I remembered how much I like it. The two add-ons are brilliant - there is this fence (which comes with flower accessory dies) and a cupcake one. I'm itching to play with the Cupcake Add-On next!

Below is how the card looks coming out of the envelope. I love that Happy Halloween oval, which actually has a bat below the words. Since I was using cute elements to decorate the card, I covered up the bat with the spider ephemera piece. I also added punched clouds that have some doodles on them.

Below is the back of the card. I cut the fence four times, twice for each accordion panel. Then I could sandwich the tab in between the fences for a clean look on the back side.

Here is the card fully open, and how it will be displayed. I generally only make 2 page accordions as they can take up a lot of room! This one is about 10" across when open. While the Landscape Accordion card would normally fit in a #8 envelope (Mini Slimline sized) - the clouds stick up too much so I used an envelope sized for a 4x6" photo instead. I decorated the flap with Washi Tape.

Some of the pieces I used were stickers and not ephemera. Those were attached to white card stock then fussy cut which makes them nice and sturdy and you can easily use foam tape behind them for dimension!

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used with a few affiliate links included.
