Here’s an easy accordion card made with the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I made an easy card because it’s such a busy week. Like many of you we are celebrating Thanksgiving this week and I’m hosting about 20 people for dinner. We have my son, Sean, and his amazing bride, Amy, from Texas staying with us for ten days which is always super fun. Our second son, Ryan, is getting married this week to his beautiful bride, Bree. We are so excited for them and blessed to have Bree joining our family! We are also hosting an Open House for the new couple at our home. After we’ve had all the fun we can think of we’ll rest next week. 🙂

After I took all the pictures of this card, I realized it would look better with some bling. I think three Festive Pearls was what this card needed. Do you ever make a card better the second time or add things you didn’t think about at first? The card above has the bling and the card below is missing the Festive Pearls.

I love making fun fold cards and this one is super easy. I received a swap at Backstage Leadership in New Orleans from my friend, Diane Evans, who made a similar card. I liked it so much that I figured out how to make it in both inches and metric and have given you all the details below.
