July 4th Independence Day

Accordion Cards – Combining Old and New

| ullycatdesigns

This past few weeks I’ve been playing with some of Karen Burniston’s accordion dies released under the Elizabeth Craft Designs (ECD) and combining them with her more recent dies branded under the KB Riley LLC label.

This July 4th accordion decoration features the Accordion Star and Star Fancy Frame Edges from ECD and the Fancy Label Accordion and Fancy Solid Frame sets which are currently available on Karen Burniston’s website. The patriotic stamped images and stamped border paper are from Honey Bee Stamps.

For this pirate birthday card, I used the Ring Accordion and Ring Frame Edges 1 from ECD. The pirates are made from Set Sail Borders, Pirate Borders, Monkey and Lion, Gnome and Santa, Cruise Charms and Tiny Accessories 1. The stamped sentiments are from Karen Burniston’s June 2024 release – Pirate Sentiments and Birthday Belated.

Happy 4th of July Card

| ullycatdesigns

Fourth of July picnics often involve desserts with blueberries and strawberries since they are in season. This card evokes a family gather with home baked pies.

I used the new Papertrey Ink – Picnic Time die set to create these pies. I used red bases covered with a red glitter brush marker (Scrapbook.com.) The crusts were cut from light kraft cardstock and inked brown or tinted blue (Distress Ink – Vintage Photo and Prize Ribbon.) The blueberries are cut from blue cardstock. The pies are attached with thin foam squares.

The background decorative papers are by Bo Bunny – Celebrating Freedom. I used a purchased cardbase and envelope from Park Lane Paperie in an A6 size. The star buttons are from HoneyBee Stamps.

The sentiment is one I created on Canva.com and sized to my needs. it is attached with thick and thin foam dots. Decorative paper strips adorn the envelope flap.
