This card will have to go with apologies for the amount of real-estate it takes up!! But it was enormous fun to make, and today's IC gave me a lovely ornament to put on the cover.
Accordion created with Core'dinations cardstock, Sizzix Tags #3 and Craft Concepts Venus ef. I embossed and sanded all the back pieces, and on all pieces I sponged the edges with brown ink.
Then I laid out the front pieces and put two strips of double-sided tape on each, and then added two strips of gold organza ribbon to act as hinges for the accordion. Then I stuck the backs on. After that I fixed a brass eyelet in the hole in each tag, using eyelet washers to keep them neat at the back.
Ornament was created using scraps of Bazzill from this inspiration. (Thanks for directing my attention to it, Bridget. I used embedded embossing to add the smallest Spellbinders poinsettia dies onto an oval, along with some punched leaves. Then I coated the whole thing with glaze. Sentiment is a peel-off.
Penny Black images stamped with Versafine Black and coloured with a ton of distress inks. I also used distress green Stickles and some Diamond and Frosted Lace. Numbers have little dots of silver Liquid Pearls and then were painted with gold paint. I added punched holly leaves and Liquid Pearl berries on each tag.
Open album here.
There are also more close-up pictures of the pages in my gallery.

Sabrina, the embossing on these is so wonderful. I love the colors too. They sound incrediably complicated - washers and accordion folds, but they came out super wonderful!
