My favourite fun fold...



My favourite fun fold at the moment is a multi panel accordion fold card. It's my 'go to' design for a special card... and so I made one for my grandson's 21st this week.




This is a pretty complex card which I have made a few times before e.g. for my son's 40th and my husband's 70th and for a friend who likes flamingos...




 

 I first saw the idea on
 I then transferred the dimensions onto my Cricut and cut all the pieces with that.


I made Aiden's card with black, white and grey card. I used stickers for the numbers, cars and flags. 
I will link this card to 
this challenge for your favourite Fun Fold at Secrets to Stamping with Debbie.

Happy Crafting!



P.S. If you are interested in how to make this fold I am adding a tutorial I wrote for 


Step One
These pieces are the front and back - pieces of red card cut to  3.75 by 5.25 inches.

I decorated the front with the image Marshmallow which is pre-coloured. I added 'All is calm' stamped with letter stamps and a few stars.



Step Two

Next a series of panels 4 by 5.5 inches, cut in two pieces with a tab to stick them together. I cut out the windows and decorated them with the grey frames.


Step Three

This series of panels are made in a similar way, each panel being 2.25 by 3.25 inches.

I decorated these with letter stamping and stars and several of the image Chiribi Municipality


Step Four

The second panels are threaded through the first ones.



Step Five

The second panels are glued in place and dimensional are placed at the corners shown and the corners of the front and back.


Step Six

The ribbon is put in place and then the front and back adhered in place with the dimensionals.


Step Seven 

Then the ribbon can be tied...
