His And Hers Accordion Cards

Make someone feel extra special on their birthday by giving them a ‘WOW’ factor handmade card. These are 2 examples of accordion cards made using Tattered lace accordion card dies, one for the ladies and one for the men. The great thing about these cards is that you can add as many sections as you want. I did find that I needed to double cut the base sections to give the cards more strength and substance. I cut off the connecting tabs on the sections glued to the back to make assembly easier. Another top tip, would be to assemble in 2 stages. I join the main sections together first and only join the internal sections after I have added the embellishments as it’s a lot easier to do with the card flat on your work surface. Once full assembled these cards will not lie flat so adding details can be tricky. For the ladies’ version I made a simple box for the card. For the men’s version I made a box envelope from a bought envelope using the method shown in Tutorial 8 (you will need to have subscribed to the newsletter to get the passwords to access this).
