To create some customer thank you cards I used Stampin’ Up! Note Cards, a strip of the Celebratory Sips paper, and some die cut washi tape. See my Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape Video.

You can stamp any greeting in one of the rectangles.. I made thank you cards and birthday cards.

These note cards with washi tape are so cute that you don’t even need embellishments.. but you can add them if you wish. I’d recommend the Stampin’ Up! Strawberry Slush gems or any of the In Color flat pearls.

Super Fun Halloween Accordion Card

| 1 Comment
Fun Halloween Accordion card. A handmade, folded Halloween card features a festive street scene with decorated houses, pumpkins, candy corn, and trees. The card reads "NO TRICKS ALL TREATS" and "Happy Halloween." The creator’s logo, Patty Bennett, is visible on the wood background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Last month when I shared my Halloween treats with you, someone asked what I was going to do with this specific piece of this Spooky Sweet 12×12 paper pack. I had mentioned I’d probably use this strip on a scrabook page. BUT, then I saw an idea from Jen Rubio, and wanted to create an accordion card!

A Halloween-themed card with a zig-zag fold features spooky house façades, ghosts, and pumpkins. Three orange arrows point to fold lines. Text at the bottom reads, “cut the panel to 5-1/4" tall, then score at these 3 points.”. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I indicated above where I scored the paper.. it was a little different than what Jen did, but I really like how it turned out!

See all of these tips in the video below!

Before adding it to the cardstock base, I had to trim off just a tiny bit:

A hand holds a piece of textured pink cardstock, trimmed at the edge, next to a Halloween-themed card with a jack-o’-lantern. Text reads: "I had to trim off just that much from the right side to make this fit on the 4-1/4'' x 5-1/2'' base card." An orange arrow points to the trimmed edge. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

After folding up the panel and adding it to a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of cardstock, I added the “front door” panel from the same DSP sheet to the front. (see below).

A hand holds a Halloween-themed card panel featuring a house entrance, pumpkins, and lights. Behind it is a pink textured accordion-folded strip and another card with pumpkins. Text reads: "Add this panel to the front of the folded accordion strip. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Piece of Spooky Sweet paper I used:

A collage shows Halloween-themed scrapbook paper designs. The top part features houses with pumpkins and spooky decorations, labeled "for the accordion card." The bottom part shows a glowing doorway and empty ornate frame, labeled "for the front. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
