Here is my Project:
Today I want to share with you a new Card file I made.  The Merry Accordian Fold Card. 


Here is the card



Here is one side of the removable tag that I stamped a sentiment

Here is the other side of the removable tag that I added a very pretty Reindeer Dazzle

This card was a lot of fun to make.  It is a simple Accordian style card with a twist.  I have added a large pocket to the front to hold a tag to not only place your sentiment but also gives you a place to sign your card.  From the fun custom letters used to spell out Merry, to the 3-D banner you can use to add whatever you want, this card can then be displayed as some beautiful Christmas Decor for yourself or the reciever of your custom card.  It can be made in a Vintage classic style as I have done with mine, or use different papers for a more fun and whimsical style.

For my card I used some very vintage looking papers with deep rich colors, I used lots of different ribbons from my stash to enhance the letters, some with a bow and some with a simple fold of ribbon sticking out from behind the letter like a tab.  I added a cute little red mitten button from my stash to jazz up th white ribbon I used on the letter Y.  I used red stickles to lightly dot the centers of the star burstas on the M and the Y and on the holly Berries.  I used white gel pen to stitch the edges of my embellishment cubes.  I also used some of my gorgeous gold Dazzles from the same kit I got theses beautiful vintage papers.  I added a tiny gold star to the Christmas tree, the word Christmas to my banner and a lovely deer dazzle to the removable tag.  I used my D'Vine swirls cuttlebug folder to emboss  the tag and then used walnut stain ink to rub on the design to make it pop.  and last but not least I added a cute Happy Holidays sentiment stamp to my tag with a cute red and green flower stamped in each corner to accent.  I am not sure if some lucky special someone will be recieving this card from me in December this year or if it will become a nice decor piece for my own Mantle.
