Funky Fold hop with a surprise accordion inside!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented crafters who love dabbling with folds!!  

We are a group of like-minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless. 

All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' card fold.

My card has been inspired by a card shown to me by one of my customers.  ON the outside it's a fairly standard card.

I'm using a new stamp set and die bundle from our Mini Catalogue - Branching Out combined with the lovely Country Woods paper.  

Inside the card is the fun accordion fold which pops up to give a lovely surprise.  I stamped the lovely branches across all 4 of the panels in the centre created from the Branching Out dies.  

I've left the last panel clear to leave room for the greeting.

I hope you enjoy this fun fold!!  If you'd like the tutorial, be sure to click on the blue button below.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing inspiration just for you!
