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. 🙂

Measurements & Directions

Merry Merlot Cardstock (CS) Base 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″

It’s time for another Festive Friday Card Making and Paper Crafting Challenge!  It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0122 is National Cake Day which is November 26th.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! It doesn’t have to have anything to do with National Cake Day. #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used sprinkles, birthday sentiment, candle, patterned paper.
