We’ve had some amazing weather the last couple of days, so I’ve had a hard time focusing on things in my craft room – especially after spending the bulk of the weekend creating for a few pub calls. But I did get a chance to create a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for this week’s CARDS Magazine Gallery Challenge – which is to create a project using accordion flowers. I’ve actually been really fascinated by these babies of late, and was happy for the chance to try one out. I wasn’t brave enough to figure out how to make one on my own – thankfully, Memory Box has made it easy for scaredy cats like myself. They’ve come out with an uber cool die that creates a really nice scalloped edge, and it scores it for you so that all you have to do is fold it accordion style and adhere the two ends together – it’s called the Blooming Rosette and Center. Super easy! Now that I’ve created one with the die, I really think I could do the same thing on my own with my border punches and my Martha Stewart Score Board. Right?! My mind is swimming with ideas, now!

Fabulous card! And yes, you can make accordion flowers with a score board and a circle punch for your backing! Super simple and way less expensive.
