Beautiful Accordion File Purse

Hi, Sunny again this morning but cold,

A BIG HELLO and welcome to a lovely new follower Kelly thanks so much for joining us.
Are you like me, every year I say i'm going to start my christmas cards early but i'm always on the last push!!!
Well i've found just the answer, through the lovely Peggy (wired angel) I found a brilliant challenge blog.
Christmas Stamping all Year Long.
It's the begining of the month so there's a project to follow and a great tutorial by Maria Bell.
  Have great fun making  An accordion file purse with a matching card
Check out the DT creations they're awesome!!!
Every-body-art challenge is to make a gift so i'll enter that too.

It looks fabulous but I thought a bit daunting. Not at all!!! it's really easy to put together.
I cut all the pieces first and pencilled on the back the sizes.
It takes about 4 xA4 cardstock and about 1 1/2  sheets of 12 x12 DP
I can't stress enough how fabulous my new scoring board by Martha Stewart is.
It make projects like this so easy especially when it's in inches (for us oldies who don't do cms)
I always use wet glue for projects like this I like Art Institute Glitter glue,
 but you could use what ever your comfy with.

I think the most fiddly bit was putting the dividers in, I needed an extra hand to hold the lid open.
It takes a card approx 5" x 4".
It would also make a nice note card gift set or recipe card holder.

Card stock is from The Paper Mill, York

Well I hope you'll give it a go and please do give them a visit i'd love to see your creations, and get ahead for christmas.

Have a wonderful day thanks for stopping by,
Love Cherie  //*.*\\
