Life's A Picnic Accordion

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Lois Bak our challenge hostess for the month, finishes off the month with one last challenge.

In the Northern Hemisphere it’s the middle of summer, and July is National Picnic Month. Include something on your card that would be part of a picnic (picnic basket, checkered tablecloth, picnic food, or even ants).

For my card today I decided to make a two page Accordion card using Karen Burniston's Landscape Rectangle Accordion die set. For the layers on the accordion I used the rectangle dies from the Short Rectangles - Crosshatch die sets.

I added the grass using the grass border die included in the Nature Edges die set.

To decorate each panel I used the Picnic Elements and the Sweet Treats Charms (watermelon) die sets.

The "Hi" sentiment is from Waffle Flower Crafts Popping Sentiments and the "Life's A Picnic" sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

Here is a look at my card when it is closed ready to be placed in an envelope. I added a few more ants on the corner of the front frame.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:
