Accordion Step Card Freezin' Fun and Snow Wonder Card - Simply Stampin' on Saturday (9-12-20)

Freezin' Fun Accordion Step Card

Highland Heather - 10.5" x 5.5", scored at 1.5", 3", 4.5", 6", 7.5" and 9".  Fold and burnish starting with a "mountain" fold and then alternating to "valley" fold and continue to the end.

Highland Heather -  three pieces 1.75" x 4"

Feels Like Frost DSP 4.5" x 3.75", then cut in a sequence of the scene at 1.5" and 3"; adhere these strips onto the strips of Highland Heather and keep in the sequence of the scene.

Feels Like Frost DSP 5.25" x 1.25" for the top panel 

Whisper White 4.25" x 5.5 - From that, cut 1" x 4.25" for the sentiment on top panel; use the remaining piece to stamp and die-cut the characters (skiing, snowboarding, and sledding)

I used the small tree and sentiment for the top WW layer and Mint Macaron Blends to color the tree.

The rabbit skiing was colored with Gray Granite, Purple Posey, and Cinnamon Cider.  The penguin is colored with Dark Smoky Slate, Petal Pink, Mango Melody, and Cinnamon Cider.  The raccoon is colored with Crumb Cake, Highland Heather, and Cinnamon Cider.  I used Craft White Ink Pad for the snowflakes and sentiments on the inside of the accordion card.

As shown in the photo below, the DSP/Character panels are stairstep starting on the left side on the second fold (valley fold) skipping a fold, then centering the next panel along the next valley fold, and again skipping the mountain fold, and adhering the final panel along the last fold.  I kept the panels in the sequence of the photo scene.  Then after each character has been colored, I adhered one to each panel using a "bobble" I had purchased from Amazon.  Be careful when adhering that you don't place the character too high up, interfering with the fold.  With White Craft ink, I added snowflakes and sentiments in the open spaces next to the panels.  To secure the card once you close the accordion fold, I wrapped a piece of the Purple Posey striped ribbon from Playing with Patterns ribbon combo around the top.

Feels Like Frost DSP 4" x 5.25"

Whisper White (4" x 3") for the snowman; stamp, color with watercolor pencils, blender pen, Wink of Stella, and then fussy cut-out. 

I used the Metallic Mesh ribbon around the DSP before adhering it to the front of the card.

I stamped the sentiment and snowflakes with Versamark and silver embossing powder.

Adhere the snowman using Stampin' Dimensionals over the mesh ribbon.
