Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing a pretty pop out accordion fun fold card made using the Ocean Friends stamp set and dies along with the Friends of the Ocean dsp.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the ocean friends, pop out accordion fun fold card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8” by 5⅞” – scored on the long-side at 2”, 4” and 6”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 1⅞” x 5
Friends of the Ocean dsp – 5½” by 1¾” x 4
Basic white card – 7” by 3½” – scored at 3½”
Scrap Shy Shamrock

 

Glue the panels of Friends of the Ocean dsp to four of the panels of Basic White card measuring 5⅝” by 1⅞”. These panels were then glued to the Berry Burst card base.

Using the Ocean Friends dies, I die cut two crab images from the Friends of the Ocean dsp. I also die cut the seaweed from scrap Shy Shamrock card. The die cut seaweed was divided in two and adhered on either side of the 7” by 3 ½” piece of Basic White card, either side of the scoreline.
