Simple Accordion Fold

I'm sure that most of you have a few demonstrators that "speak" to you, or you follow. One of those, for me, is one of my downline, Susie Wood. She LOVES folds as much as I do, and she has a style that is similar to mine. Susie shared this on her blog, and I fell in love with the simple design, fold, just everything! I'm sure many of you have DSP laying around in your stash. This is an awesome way to use it! You need to give this one a try!

Measurements:

Basic White: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", 2 3/4" x 4 3/4", 3" square
Sahara Sand: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" square
Peaceful Prints (SAB) (ret): 5" x 11 1/2"

To Make This Card:

Attach Sahara Sand layer to White base.
Score DSP piece at 1 3/4" - 4 3/4" - 7 3/4". If your DSP has a directional print (such as these deer), pay attention as to where you begin your scoring. (My first attemp my deer ended up upsidedown!!)
Accordion fold along all score lines. Pretty cool how this layers!!
Attach this piece to the base pieces.
Add the White piece to the inside as shown.
Use the Hippo & Friends dies to cut out the labels used. The largest is cut from Sahara Sand. The middle one is cut from Basic White, after you stamp a sentiment in Sahara Sand ink. Layer together
Attach left half to front piece.
Finish by stamping a sentiment inside in Sahara Sand, and embellishing with some scattered pearls. Oh, also a knot of White Glittery Organdy Ribbon

Penguin Side Pull Out Card

In the past, I have shared the awesome Side Pull Out Card using a square, a circle, and an oval. So, here is an updated version using a Scalloped Rectangle!

Measurements:

Basic Black: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 5 1/4" x 8", 2 1/4" x 3 3/8", scrap
Real Red: 2 1/4" x 3 3/8"
Peaceful Prints SAB (N): 4" x 5 1/4", 1 3/4" x 5 1/4"

To Make This Card

Fold Basic Black card base in half. Attach Peaceful Prints DSP quarter to front along outside edges only.
Cut largest scallop rectangle through both layers on front of card. Discard DSP piece, and set Black cardstock piece aside to use later.
Fold Basic White card in half, and then again in half, back on itself, creating a "Z" fold. Crease well. Flip over so the "Z" is on the right, and adhere "base" to inside of Black card. Attach other DSP strip to inside narrow panel.
Close card. Place adhesive on part of the "z" fold that is showing through the rectangle. Take the scallop rectangle that you removed from the front and adhere through the opening, lining up the scallops.
Cut the next size scallop rectangle from the White piece. Attach Red piece and this White piece to Black scallop rectangle.
Stamp Penguin in Memento Black onto scrap of White. Also stamp his "feet" and "beak". Punch out with Penguin Builder Punch.
Stamp "stocking hat" and "scarf" in Real Red ink. You will have to "fussy cut" these out.
Attach penguin to White rectangle, and then add "accessories".
On the inside of card, stamp sentiment in Black and "accesories" in Real Red.
Finish with a Black Gingham bow.
