Welcome to week eight of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
With only 8 days to go until the end of Sale-a-bration I just couldn’t resist creating another Christmas card using four of the gorgeous Sale-a-bration items: Rings of Love DSP, Silver Foil, Silver and gold DSP and my absolute fave, Tree Lot dies.
I’ve used some of the colours in the Rings of Love DSP as well as the Silver from the Silver DSP and the Silver Foil for my accordion fold card.
An accordian card fancy fold is a great card for display as it stands up really well without any support.
Accordion Fancy Fold Card Template
- Night of Navy cardstock base 14 x 28 cm
- Score at 4.5, 9, 13.5 and 18 cm
- Adhere 4 x Rings Of Love DSP measuring 13.5 x 4 cm to the folded panels
- Night of Navy cardstock 4 x 7.5, scored at 7.5
- Adhere 2 x Silver spotted Silver and Gold DSP measuring 7×7 cm to the Night of Navy cardstock
- Die cut caravan, embellishments and trees from scraps of Silver Foil, Mint Macaroon and Night of Navy cardstock
The front panel is decorated with the dotted Silver DSP, topped with a Mint Macaron, Silver foil and Night of Navy caravan, die cut using the Tree Lot dies.
In the caravan window I stamped the word “Merry” from the “Be Cool – Be Chill – Be Merry” sentiment from the Penguin Place stamp set. It was easy to ink up just the word “MERRY” using Night of Navy ink without any masking required as it is the last word in the sentiment.
The Middle panel of the accordian fold card has a Mint Macaron tree covered in Tree Lot dies silver stars.
Did you notice the silver pot under the Christmas tree? This pot is the negative piece left over from die cutting the bottom section of the caravan.
The “Christmas” sentiment on the inside of the card was stamped using the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from the Trees For Sale stamp set. The string of lights, stars and trees are all from this stamp set too.

Oh I have been wanting to try this fancy fold Cathy and now I want to try it even more because your card is fabulous. I love the colour scheme and how clever were you to use the negative piece as a tub for your Christmas tree.
I love this fancy fold card, they are great to make! You colour choice is so great! I am going to miss seeing all the caravan cards at the end of Saleabration! Love the Die cut Christmas tree with all the pieces still in to give all that detail! Love the Merry in the window of the caravan too! Gorgeous card! Love it!

This is a ripper card, Cathy, I love the colours, the fancy fold and that cute little caravan! Clever use for the pot and the stamping on different panels! Whoever receives this one will certainly be impressed.
Such a great card to feature so many of the beautiful Salebration items and I really love this colour combo. What a great find to use the caravan öffcut”for the tree pot. I seem to think you may miss the caravan dies?
What a gorgeous fun-fold Catherine, and I just love your choice of colours. You’re a clever clogs seeing a pot for your Christmas tree in the dies! The polka dot papers look fabulous behind your little van and tree. I must try this fold – thank you for the inspiration xx.
A gorgeous card Cathy. Your use of 4 Saleabration items is very clever. I love this concertina fold and the way you have integrated all the elements. The Mint Macaron and Silver caravan is so cute and part of the stamped sentiment in the van’s window with the 2nd part of the greeting in the final panel is lovely. Xxx
Cathy, I love how you’ve used colour on this card … so pretty! I’m also impressed with the silver pot for the Christmas tree; very resourceful, my friend. Spacing the sentiment out as you have is very effective. I just love everything about this creative card!
