From the Garden

Today I’m sharing a Charm Accordion card featuring the new Backyard Charms from Karen Burniston’s summer release. I started with some heavy white card stock and used a My Favorite Things cloud stencil and Tumbled Glass Distressed Oxide ink to create a sky of the front and the inside.

The sentiment and the tulips are from Garden Charms and that little bird is from Outdoor Scene. The real star here is the new Backyard Charms! That cute fairy , the mushroom and snail are in that set.

The Charm Accordion open to make a fun scene for this card! I filled the bottom with a garden and did the fairies in black glitter.

This shows you (kind of) how the accordion part opens.

Here’s a close up of the scene. I used the Nature Edges die to create the grass.

The Sentiment is from the Summer Words die. Enjoy! Hugs, Fran

Birthday Charm Accordion

This cute accordion card is a new die by Karen Burniston.  The card base is the Charm Accordion and it’s 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches and the die cuts both pieces of this accordion at the same time.  The squirrel is one of her new Woodland Animals (there’s a squirrel, fox and raccoon!)  The little packages at the bottom are from the Birthday Charms die set.

The squirrel is two pieces – the body and the tummy.  The arms are free so it was east to add a package.  The face is drawn on using the openings in the die.

Here’s the inside.  The sentiment is from SU’s Painter’s Palette.  See the birthday hat?  It’s held onto the smaller piece with a jump ring die 🙂  Cute!

The packages are all from the the Birthday Charms too.  The entire set is darling!  You can find more information about the dies here.  Hugs, Fran
