Hi, everyone!
My most popular requested file is my Nativity Side Step Card, and I had been toiling with the idea of a different card format for a Nativity Card for quite some time, when an idea struck me today. I have created an accordion card that features the Blessed Birth of Jesus in the manger.
Below are several images: I'm trying to show you depth and the way the folds create the scene.

This SVG is a file for sale - please click on the "SVG's For Sale" tab at the top of my blog.
The file includes the card base panels, including a blank one in case you wish to extend the accordion. I was actually thinking of attaching the all-white page of this one to the last panel to give the silhouette scene a background, and then adding the additional blank svg panel to the back side of the card to write in a note and maybe an additional Christmas wish. The beauty of the blank accordion panel is that you can use it to create any length accordion card you wish! :0)
The file also includes the frames, the panel decorative pieces (the pieces I embossed on my card that go around the silhouette), and the Bethlehem Star. The only thing shown on my card that are not included is the sentiment and the full white panel used on the last panel (it is cut 1/4" smaller than the length and width of the card - easy-peasy to use your paper cutter for that, or if you're savvy with the software, you can simply remove the oval from one of the panel decorative cut pieces). The pearls are also not included, but you knew that, right?! ;0) lol!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy my card!
Happy Crafting!
