The is a view of a completed card, closed. It has not been decorated yet.

You can use a ribbon or a strip of card stock (as shown above) 

as the closure for the card. Because of it's size, and all the folds, 

the card will want to "spring" open for a little while. SO... to keep 

it neatly closed, you must add some sort of reinforcement.

This is a finished card, open, decorated. All three sections attached.

The center, small strips, are bands to hold money.

This is a finished card, demonstrating the process of closing.

These are the pieces of paper needed to create this accordion card.

This is also a great craft to use scrap paper 

you may have remaining from previous projects.

There are 3 pieces of card stock (all the same color or various colors)

There is decorative papers used to decorate the finished card.

How much you decorate is up to you. Finish the folding process of the card 

(basically, you will "teach" your card how to close)

...once it is all pieced together, you can begin decorating.

This is my 12x12 pieces of card stock which I will cut into

10x10 squares. You can make any size card as long as your

3 base pieces are cut in egual sizes - SQUARE.

Folding the squares is basic. Each one is folded the same way

Fold in half, and then.....

Fold in half again the opposite way

Now fold ONE TIME

 - point to point -

this fold helps create the ability for the card to fold into itself.

Here is a section with all the proper folds. 

Your must be sure that all of your folds are as smooth 

and crisp as possible. Use something to improve your crease

other than just your finger. Above is a "bone folder". 

Now, each section must attache in only one spot.

You must use a heavy duty type of adhesive for a strong hold.

All products used in my craft projects are Creative Memories 

Note: The only "other" product I use

(once sold by Creative Memories) 

by Scrapbook Adhesives - Crafty Power Tape

 

layer your 3 sections together, one on top of the next 

and attach - just like this....1 - 2 - 3

After attaching your final section...

all pieces are attached to each other and it should look like this.

You must teach your project how to fold - this step is crucial to the design.

it's easiest to fold the first and last section

points inward to form a square

Center section folds the opposite direction of the two end pieces

Use a 12x12 piece of card stock to create a band 

this can be any width you desire. 

Above the piece is 12"x 2"

This is the band holding your project together 

I hope you enjoyed creating this fun card 

and I am sure the person you send it to 

will be THRILLED!

Triangle Surprise

 Supplies: 

1 sheet card stock 12x12

1 sheet decorative paper (must be reversible) 

Paper trimmer (or scissors)

Tape Runner Adhesive 

************************

Let’s Go!

Save to the side your 12x12 card stock

Let’s use our decorative paper 

Cut 4 x 6x6 pieces, set one 6x6 aside 

Cut each of the three remaining 6x6 pieces diagonally in half - you now have 6 pieces all in triangle shape

Now cut each of those 6 triangles in half diagonally - you now have 12 triangles

Start adding 8 of those triangles all around the edge of your card stock - two on each edge and only put adhesive on the longer flat edges of your triangles.

After all edges are complete you may begin adding your final 4 triangles in the spaces remaining around the center. 

Be sure to reverse your paper for the final 4 triangles. 

Once all 12 of your triangles are attached 

It’s time for THE MAGIC!!!

Add adhesive to each -main point- on each triangle and begin folding back each triangle as shown below...

Final piece of 6x6 goes in the center in any direction you choose, either side of decorative paper, and you’re ready to add photos!
