Roaring Twenties Accordion

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another card using a few of the stamps and papers from Crafter's Companion's Roaring Twenties Collection. This time around I have created an Accordion Stepper Card.

 Creative Craft Products have two Accordion Stepper Card die sets one slightly bigger than the other. Back in January I shared an Accordion Stepper Card that measured 6 inches square when closed, that's the smaller of the two. Today I am sharing the larger version which measures slightly over 6 3/4 inches square when folded and will fit into a 7 inch square envelope. I like both sizes depending on the images you are using at the time.

For this card I used Crafter's Companion's All That Jazz; Raise a Glass and Shine Like The Stars stamp sets along with their Roaring Twenties 12 x 12 paper pad. I am really loving these products.

I added the larger square panels to the back of the card, one that I stamped a sentiment on, using one of the sentiment stamps from the Shine Like The Stars stamp set. . 

I added a second panel which I left blank, other than the glasses, so there is a place to write a personal greeting.

 

All That Jazz

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have another "Roaring Twenties" themed card to share with you using stamps and dies from Crafter's Companion and dies from Creative Craft Products.

The base of my card uses one of the new die sets from Creative Craft Products Fancy Folds Collection, this one is the A6 Window Card die set. This card folds down to a card that measures 4 1/4 inches x 6 inches.

To decorate my card I used Crafter's Companion's Showgirl die set. I die cut this image from both gold mirror and black cardstock, offsetting the black behind the gold slightly to create a shadow. I turned this into a shaker card before adding it to the centre of the card.

I used the "All That Jazz" sentiment from Crafter's Companion's All That Jazz stamp set. I die cut the sentiment using the label dies included in the A6 Window Card die set. The label was a little longer than the sentiment, so after die cutting the label once, I then repositioned the label so it was closer to the other side of the words and die cut again.

I added a few gold metallic pearls to the card.

Here you can see the card when it is folded ready to be placed in an envelope.

Here is a look at the back of my card, as I have the 12 x 12 Roaring Twenties Paper Pad, I decided to decorate the panels on the back of the card. 

I added a birthday sentiment using the Shine Like The Stars stamp set.

Roaring Good Time

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

It was my birthday last month and of course being an avid card maker, I had to get something card making related as a present. I was lucky enough to get Crafter's Companions Roaring Twenties Collection from my husband. Of course I had to make a card using some of the products from the collection.

For my first card using this collection, I created a Z Fold Card.

On the front of the card I added the diamond panel which is a Waffle Flower Crafts Radiating Diamond Frame die. I die cut the frame from gold mirror cardstock and then layered it onto burgundy cardstock and trimmed around the edge. I then used the Charleston Couple die which I die cut from black and gold cardstock, layering the black over the gold offsetting slightly.

On the right side of the card I added the scallop border using the Shell Scallop Die set. I die cut the border directly onto the right edge of the card. I then die cut two more borders, one from gold mirror card and another from burgundy cardstock. I layered the burgundy border directly to the back of the gold mirror border. I then adhered the gold mirror border behind the one on the card off setting slightly. Adding the burgundy border behind the gold one, gave a nice finish to the back of the card.

For the sentiment, I used the Like A Stars stamp set that coordinating with the collection. I die cut the sentiment using Pinkfresh Studio's Nested Diamonds Die Set.

To finish off the front of the card I added some gold metallic pearls randomly around the card.

I added a panel to the back of the card, for a place to add another stamp sentiment and a somewhere to write a personal greeting. You can see how the border on the left matches with the rest of the card rather than seeing white from the back of the gold mirror cardstock.
