Sizzix Accordian Album for Christmas

Hello and welcome to my blog!!  Christmas is fast approaching so excited!

Today is the start of a new challenge at 7 Kids Challenge Blog.  The Theme is Anything Goes!

I decided to make a accordion card filled with Christmas spirit, well it took me 5 times to get it right so my spirit was tired by the time I finished this one! lol

My very sweet friend Anne gave me a accordion book and I loved it.  Hers is made perfectly though. So I hunted down the Sizzix die and thought this would be easy for me. lol

 I would like to share my Christmas accordion album with you.

Here is the front of the accordion using a Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia and Shabby White Frantage.  The poinsettia is made with red card stock and a brocade red clear paper from Stampin Up.

The designer papers I used on the accordion and pages are Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas and Bo Bunny Elf Magic.

Here is the flow of the accordion part.  I used each designer paper on each side.  Everything is taped securely Sookwang double stick tape.

Here is the middle on one side with a older sentiment stamp embossed with black embossing powder. I cut snowflakes and red stickles for the other side. On each page there are tiny Christmas stickers from Tim Holz and a few Simple Stories tags.

Here is the back side Tim Holz dies, fir tree, deer, 25. I added some ribbon and wooden snowflakes on the page including a snippet of the SU red and clear brocade page for the deers neck.

Here is the other side of the accordion with Bo Bunny Elf Magic papers. I used a smaller poinsettia die and the tags from Simple Story.  

At the end of the other side I wanted to join to pages with Star Flourish die from Memory Box on top and then Santa's sleigh from Impression Obsession which was a gift from my friend Christina.  

 I put a small amount of black stickles on the tops of Santa's sleigh for a night shadow.  There is platinum glitter for shine as the moon must be out!  Then a red glitter nose for Rudolph who is leading the way.

Here is a dimensional look from above the card.

The whole accordion card is flat and ready for a box to mail.

I hope you found this interesting as I am determined to perfect my abilities with this accordion die from Sizzix.  Way too much fun!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you join us for the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog to win the gift certificate to the 7 Kids College Fund Store!!

Have a grand day!!
