Poinsettia Christmas Accordion

Karen Burniston has the most informative and detailed classes.  She recently had a virtual class using the Fancy Label Accordion.  With these classes you are able to purchase a kit so that you can create the exact card she is demonstrating, or you can use what you have and follow along with her.  That is what I did for this card.

I love blue Christmas cards, so I searched through my stash of Christmas papers to find something in blue that I thought would work.  I found some pretty blue paper with a splash of red and decided it would work for my card.  The sentiment on the front of my card was made using Karen's Small Sentiments Christmas dies.  The pretty little poinsettias inside the frames are part of Honey Bee Stamps' Loads of Holiday Cheer set.

The Fancy Label Accordion has several Add-on sets, and the candles for the inside are from the Birthday Candle Add-ons set.

If you'd like to make one of these cards for yourself, here is the link to Karen's Youtube video.

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge -- Four Seasons

This month's theme for the Karen Burniston Designer Challenge is "Four Seasons."  After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to use the Slim Flaps and Frame die, one I haven't used in quite a while  When closed, my card has patterned paper reminiscent of all four seasons.

 As you open each flap, you can watch a tree proceed through all four seasons.

Here are all four flaps open.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I hope you found my card creative.
