Halloween Interlocking Accordion Pop-Out Card

 I am using Laurie Furnell's kit "Halloween Vibes" (Etsy) for a project card for the Sun City Papers N Pixels Club for their October workshop/class. The card is inspired by Lisa Curcio's Interlocking Pop Out Card.

Tablet Folios Revisited

 We have made many of these little purse sized notepad folios and they make great gifts. A fast and easy project that I will be demonstrating for the PapersNPixels club soon.  They are inspired by Michelle Allen of "A Creative Operation"



No embellishments--
Using Graphic 45 "Midnight Tales" collection paper pumpkin Patch on green cardstock.


Embellish or finish as you wish.
 This one was finished with "Watercolor Halloween Owls" from Creative Fabrica. 


Family of Owls by Renee Morales.  Inside above the pocket reads--
Advice form an old owl.  
Stay focused,
 be "whoo" you are,
 trust in a wise friend, 
live off the land,
 glide through the dark times,
 be observant
LIFE IS A HOOT

Yet another tablet folio--this is one of the 3x5, purse sized with flat pen, and used some SU Designer paper from my stash and Terracotta Autumn Flowers from Etsy. This one I made FOR MOI!

Pop Out Accordion Card--Hello Ladybug

 



The Pop Out Accordion Card--Hello Ladybug was patterned after the tutorial by Lisa Curcio in her August 21, 23 Live Stream.  The Ladybugs are from Creative Fabrics--from Awkward Annie's studio called "Little Lady Bugs and Flowers.  The white dotted designer paper is from my stash of digital polka dot papers.


These watercolor owls are from Adobe Express
The paper is from Etsy "Primrose Planners" tartans and plaids called
Pumpkin Tartan Digital Plaids
I wasn't careful when I planned the way I framed the owls
Forgot to make them on a diamond instead of a square.
But I like how the card turned out even so
..and of course---everything was glued firmly 
in place so I couldn't change anything 
without starting over!
It is VERY attractive when it is open, don't you think?
