Sunrise Sailing - Arched Acordion

This is a card that I made and plan to use it for my swaps this month since I only have to make three of them. It was a a lot of work, but I really liked the final results. The technique was inspired by Wandering Stamper but I used different stamp sets, colors, etc. Here are my instructions on how I made this Accordion card.

Stamp Sets: Sunrise Sailing Bundle, Go to Tags Bundle, Notes & Totes

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Basic White, Cloud Cover, Two-Tone Pool Party

Ink: Night of Navy, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Everyday Arches Dies, Sunrise Sailing Dies, Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder, Linen Thread, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Paper Snips, Retired Stampin' Up! Sandpaper

1. The base of the card is Night of Navy Cardstock cut at 3-1/2” x 8-1/2” and another one at 3-1/2” x 4”. Score the 3-1/2” x 8-1/2” at 4” and 8”. Adhere the 3-1/2” x 4” to the first one.

2. Die cut three large Night of Navy arches using the largest arch die from the Everyday Arches Dies.

3. Die cut a Basic White, Cloud Cover and Pool Party Two-Tone arches with the second largest arch die.

4. Die cut a Pool Party Two Tone, two Basic White with the third largest arch die.

5. For the front page, insert the Pool Party Two Tone Paper into the Hybrid Embossing Folder and use sandpaper or sand block to show the white image on the clouds, boat and water of the two-tone paper. Adhere to the 2^nd largest Basic White arch.

6. Die cut a Basic White label using the Go to Tags and stamp “Congrats” with Night of Navy ink. Tie a double bow and attach with a Mini Glue Dot. Adhere to the Night of Navy arch and adhere to the bottom of the base card (don’t adhere glue at the top of the arch).

7. For the middle arch: Attach the Cloud Cover arch to the Night of Navy arch. Die-cut Pool Party Two paper using the waves die from the Sunrise Sailing Dies and then use the 3rd largest arch so that it will fit to the bottom of the Basic White arch that is the same size but ink up the waves stamp with Pool Party ink and stamp it before adhering to the bottom of the Basic White arch. Die-cut a small sailboat using Night of Navy cardstock. Die-cut the sails from the Two-Tone Pool Party Paper and adhere to the sailboat. Die-cut a small cloud with the smallest cloud die and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left. Ink up the sun from the Notes & Totes stamp set with Daffodil Delight ink. Die-cut the flying seagulls and a rolled up glue dot to adhere two to the front page and one to the middle below the sun.

Attach to the base (again do not adhere glue to the top of the arch).

8. The last page: Ink up sentiment “You’re Going Places” with Night of Navy ink. Adhere to the Night of Navy largest arch and attach to the base (again do not adhere glue to the top of the arch).

9. With Paper Snips, trim off the left edge on the front page and the right edge on the last page.
