Card Making Instructions

Begin with a sheet of card measuring 4 inch by 8 1/2 Inch. This will for the back panel of the card


A second piece of card was cut measuring 8 by 8 1/2 inch. With the 8 inch edge at the top score a 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 inch.

Fold left to right to give a valley, mountain, valley, valley. mountain, valley



This is then glued onto the card base panel. Line this up in the middle. You can do this by laying it on your score board and lining it up with the 1 inch mark. See video for clarity


You then need a mat and layer. The Mat is to measure 8 1/4 by 1 3/4 inch and the layer is 8 by 1 1/2 inch


To decorate the panels you need 8 pieces that measure 8 1/4 by 3/4. These go on the concertinaed folded panels please see video for clarity



The image was stamped onto a piece of white measuring 2 3/4 by 3 1/4. This was coloured using Copic markers and mounted onto a piece of silver card measure 3 by 4 inch.


This was then adhered onto one side of the folded concertina. Be sure to glue onto one side only as you want the concertina panels to open. See video for clarity


The final 2 panels were then decorated using patterned paper measuring 8 1/4 by 3/4


The image was then finished with glossy accents
