8x8 Accordion Card

One of my FAVORITE cards

3 pieces of 8x8 card stock

This is how it looks folded and ready to send...

fold each piece in half in both direction,

then fold one time point to point in an angle

(this helps create the pop effect)

here are the 3 pieces of 8x8 papers, 

all folded in the three ways described

view of one piece folded all three ways

Next...adhere sections to each other in a row as pictured...

Now proceed to teach the card how to fold into each other.....

first section, points fold IN

next section, points fold OUT

last section, points fold IN again

NOW THE FUN PART...DECORATE!!!
