Sneak Peek: Turtle-y Cute Accordion Fold, Starter Kit Special Coming Soon

Today I’m sharing a Fun Accordion Card made with the Turtle-y Cute Suite from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog – arriving in just TWO MORE DAYS!!

I have to admit…I did not want to like this suite.  But as I was making a card for my grandson, Max’s 18th birthday, I got stuck.  So I decided to go another direction and look through all of the NEW Designer Series Papers I got to preorder (a demonstrator perk).  And even though I didn’t care for the Turtle-y Cute Suite, I ALWAYS order all of the papers!

I was surprised to discover the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper had exactly what I needed.  It has turtles doing all kinds of things for birthday, beach, outdoor activities and MUSIC!  Max plays percussion (Trombone & Piano) and the music paper was perfect!!

DOstamping Tips:

• To make accordion:
  • score 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2 in half at 2-3/4″
  • score 4-1/4″x 8-1/2″ score at 2-3/4″, 5-1/2″, 8-1/4″ and add tear & tape to 1/4″ tab
  • Attach both pieces together at the tab. Fold accordion style and burnish folds with bone folder.
• Starting at left edge, adhere long DSP strip to accordion while folding panels.  Adhere small strip to last panel.
• Add Tear & Tape to turtle and music banners as shown, then adhere to accordion panels to create pockets.
• Insert cash into pockets (folded into fifths).
• Adhere folded accordion to inside of card – use Tear & Tape on last panel only.

I guess I’ll need to order the rest of the Turtle-y Cute Suite (link will be live May 6) now that I’ve fallen in love with it!
