Sunflower Birthday Wishes

 


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Double Concertina Stepper Card that I created recently. As many of you know, I celebrated a birthday recently. One of my friends sent me a beautiful owl card using this style, as I really liked the card I went looking for a tutorial, which I found by Sam Calcott’s. You can find her tutorial here.

I also recently purchased some patterned paper pads designed by Iced Images, so I decided to pull out one of the pads to decorate my card. When I was cutting the panels for this card, I made sure to keep the pattern in sequence. Once I went to the trouble I didn’t want to hide the design with images or sentiments, so I kept that simple.


Here is a look at the back of my card. As you can see I decorated the back too. I kept the three centre panels white so that I could add a stamp sentiment and have a place to write a personal message. 



The concertina panels all fold to the front so that it fits in a 5 x 7 envelope.
