PLAYFUL GHOSTS ACCORDION Z FOLD CARD
Hello, crafty friends! Halloween is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited to share the second installment in my new card-making series: a Haunted Halloween Accordion Z Fold Card! For this project, I’ve used the adorable Stampin’ Up Playful Ghosts stamp set and brought these cute little spirits to life with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Let’s dive into the details!
The Playful Ghosts stamp set is packed with darling ghost characters in various costumes, along with scenic elements like clouds, bats, and pumpkins that can be stamped repeatedly to create a fun, spooky background. The accompanying sentiments are perfect for sending Halloween greetings that are both charming and festive. You can use a variety of Stampin’ Up! coloring tools, but I found the Stampin’ Blends Markers work wonderfully for bringing these ghosts to life with vivid colors.
Why I Love This Card Design:
The Accordion Z Fold design is one of my favorites because it allows for so much creativity and space to showcase all the spooky elements. It’s a great way to create a dynamic scene that unfolds with every layer. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to make. For this project, I added a series of little ghosts and background scenes that really make the card come alive.
Free PDF and Video Tutorials:
To make crafting along with me even easier, I’ve prepared a free PDF that includes step-by-step instructions, a template with measurements, and a complete supply list for this project. Just head to the INSTRUCTIONS section below to download it!
Additionally, I’ve included two video tutorials: one that walks you through creating the Accordion Z Fold and another that focuses on tips for coloring with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Whether you’re a visual learner or prefer written instructions, I’ve got you covered!
