Welcome to the Stampin’ Up Demonstrators Monthly Fun Folds Blog Hop! I hope you’ll join us every month and learn lots of new fun fold cards!
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. 🙂

BEAUTIFUL! I love the “surprise” element of an accordion fold and this DSP makes it even more magical.
Pretty accordion fold Beth! That DSP is beautiful and your card shows it off so nicely. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and congrats on another family wedding!
Congratulations on your expanding family! How fun! I love your card. It’s the perfect fold to show off this gorgeous DSP.
Beautiful card! I love how you showcased the DSP! TFS
Wow, Beth, this sure is wedding season for your family! But while you are happy having fun having your kids all around you (I sure know I’m a happy mama when that happens), we can enjoy your beautiful card! This is my favorite pattern out of the paper pack! Thank you so much for joining the blog hop this month. Happy Thanksgiving!
You picked perfect paper for your fun fold. Congrats on another wedding and I’m looking forward to seeing pics of your Thanksgiving table and the new Mr. & Mrs.! I know you’ll all have a wonderful time together.
Oh my gosh! This is gorgeous – what a great fold to just let that stunning DSP SHINE! Congrats to ALL the newlyweds – and enjoy this time!! 🙂
