Stampers Dozen January Blog Hop

Sale-A-Bration Theme!

I am so excited that I was asked to be part of the Stampers Dozen team! The team blog hops every month on the 14th and this month we are all using products from our 2023 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. At the bottom of my post, I will direct you to the next person so you can visit all of my creative teammates!

This is the project I created using the Adorable Owls stamp set which is a stamp set you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration:

The card starts out flat as shown in the photo below and once you slide off the bellyband, the card opens up in two ways:

First, you’ll see the front of the card has a multi-sectioned accordion fold and that is attached to a regular card base that opens up to reveal another sentiment on the inside. And then you open the larger card base section to see this on the inside:

I’m not sure if I invented this card fold or if it’s an existing card fold. I’ve never seen the two card types combined into one. I’m calling this my Front Accordion Multi Card Fold. Here are the products I used and the card recipe:
