Hi Stamping Friends,
We made this really fun card at Super Fun stamp night! I always try to teach a fun fold or new technique.
The fold is called Concertina and here’s a link to a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/concertinafoldcard/
Just a note, I cut my angle at 2″.
I used the Decorate A Daisy #125991 stamp set and a Round Array #129090 stamp set on this card.
The Designer Series Paper is Tea for Two #129311.
Look carefully at the greeting in the center of the flower. It’s a Faux Metal technique we learned to do.

I used Stampin’Up Pewter Embossing powder on my card stock and I let it cool and re-inked it with VersaMark ink each time. There are 4 layers of embossed powder on this medallion.
I hope you love my card!
Happy Stamping,
Karina
