 I've used the Bugaboo Stamps image, WINTER CIRCLE SENTIMENT JINGLE. 

I was happy to find the polka-dotted raspberry paper in my scrap box, and it was large enough for me to cut with one of my new Marvelous Squares Spellbinder dies. I changed the color of the digi to a chocolate brown before colring it in browns and the raspberry color. I left the text a raspberry color to let it standout from the rest of the image a little more.

A few MS branch punches made for some good dark greenery, which I accented with some tiny cream and chocolate colored pearls.

Here's a close up of the greenery.

Another Christmas Accordion Card SVG, Jingle All the Way

Hi, everyone!

Yesterday I posted a new Accordion Nativity Card SVG file that I made. This is another Accordion Card SVG, only with the phrase "Jingle All the Way".

Originally I meant to have the phrase across a five-bar staff, to be more musically accurate, but it just became "too much", so I scaled it back some (haha! - get it?! "Scaled" it back??) ;0)

I hope you like this version!

Pearls

Music Brad

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.  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 red dp pieces on my card that go around the oval cuts). The only thing shown on my card that is not included is the brad and the full dp panel used on the last two 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!
