Hummingbird Concertina Card Kit

Printed on to good quality card stock. Cut out the three straight sides and the first flowers top and bottom. Repeat this for the left hand side pieces. Now cut out the front and back pieces. Scored the front piece where directed.

Attached one of the right hand pieces to the scored flap using a quick drying wet glue, now attach the other right hand piece lining up the flowers.

Repeat this for the left hand side. Let dry. When dry cut out the rest of the flowers on the left and right hand side pieces. Doing it this way the flowers are cut out identical on both sides.

Next scored the sides where directed and cut where directed. to assemble card cross over the right and left pieces and fit into the cuts, then fold the scored area and cross over the left and right pieces again and fit into the cuts.

Cut out the individual flowers and the birds and attach using foam pads. Add the back piece with chosen sentiment to back of the main piece. Your card is finished, you just need to make the envelope that matches the card.

I printed the design onto good quality 255gsm photographic paper and cut it out. I scored and folded the design as instructed. I glued the long sides together using strong double sided tape.

I did not glue the flowers together but instead I coloured the white areas using a blue pen similar to the colour of the flowers.

I cut where indicated then scored and threaded the two sides together to make the concertina. I attached the concertina to the main panel using strong double sided tape. I added the back panel using strong double sided tape.

I assembled the decoupage and added the greeting, to the back panel, using thin foam tape. This gorgeous card comes with a matching envelope.
