Redeeming Valentine Accordion Instructions
Why redeeming? Well, because this is a coupon book! Give your
sweetie something to warm their heart on Valentine's Day.
1.
Cut a piece of Amber Bazzill Cardstock to 4 ½" x 12". Use
the Scor-it Board to score every 2". Accordion fold the card
into 6 panels.
2.
Cut 4 pieces of decorative paper using the Spellbinders Fancy
Tags die. (I used the dark red) This project was
originally
going to be a pocket accordion, so I cut the bottom scrollwork
off the tag for ease of inserting in the pockets.
Keep the pieces you cut off.
3.
With the same (dark red) paper, cut a strip of the Borderabilities
Renaissance Hearts through the Wizard.
4.
Choose a piece of coordinating paper - I used an amber colour
(that's why I love these 7 Gypsies Paper Pads - they all work
together!) - and use the Wizard to cut two strips of the Borderabilities
Renaissance Hearts. Cut 4 perfect hearts out of the 2 strips.
5.
Stamp, positioning as shown, the Words of Love onto the coupon
with a stamp pad.
6.
Glue the diecut hearts onto the bottom part of the coupon as
shown.
7.
Write the message to your lovey on the back. Nope. Not gonna
show ya!
8.
Tie a narrow (1/8") ribbon around the coupon.
9.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to hold the ribbon to the card as shown.
The coupon may be slipped out of the ribbon at the time it is
redeemed. (!)
10.
Glue two dark red die cut hearts in line with the coupon hearts
on the two remaining inside panels.
11.
Stamp This is My Beloved on a piece of the dark red paper and
choose an appropriately sized oval from the Nestabilities Standard
Ovals. Position the stamped message in the center of the die
and die cut the oval, then emboss the edge with the Wizard.
12.
Cut one more row of Hearts from the Amber cardstock (or the
amber decorative paper) and cut out an individual heart.
13.
Assemble the pieces on the front cover and glue in place.
