Accordion Insert Mystery Stamping Card

My aunt point out this cool card that Sharon Armstrong shared on her Monday night Mystery Stamping a few weeks back. Needless to say I was fascinated. Have done several of this type of card before, but never landscape, and never with so much inspiration! So, since I am visiting her this week, we decided to try it out together! For mine, I used the Celebratory Sips DSP and pretty much made it identical to Sharon's. My aunt, on the other hand went "rogue" and used some just retired DSP, a cool retired die/frame, and a current sentiment! They are both so different!! I LOVE how they turned out!

Measurements:

Berry Burst: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, scrap
Celebratory Sips DSP (OE): 4 1/4" x 11" (inside), 4" x 5 1/4" (front), fussy cut "drinks")
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" scrap

To Make This Card:

Adhere DSP to front of folded Berry Burst card base.
Score the strip of DSP on the long side @ 3" - 4" - 5"- 6" - 7"- 8" - 9". Accordion fold this strip, starting with a "valley" fold.
Add the accordion folded DSP piece to the inside of the card base, lining it up so the it is about 1/4" from the right side and centered from top to bottom. Repeat for the other side.
Stamp sentiment on White piece in Berry Burst ink, near the top, leaving room to sign at the bottom. Adhere to inside of card.
