Hi it’s Kelly Booth back with a glittery birthday Accordion Card using the Flower Circle Frames Peel-Offs in gold. I was so inspired when I saw some cards Els made using the gold Peel-Off Stickers, they are so striking! Elizabeth Craft Designs has so many gorgeous Flower Peel-Off Stickers to choose from.
1. Cut a piece of white card stock that fit 3 Flower Circle Peel-Offs and put double-sided adhesive on top.
2. Take of release sheet and place Peel-Offs on double-sided adhesive using the transfer technique Els is showing HERE.
3. Cover adhesive with Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Gitter and polish. Use a brush to brush of the excess glitter.
4. Color flower circles with Copic or other alcohol markers.
5. Cut out circles and set aside.
6. Cut six panels in white using the Accordion Circle Card die. On three of these cut out the middle section and trim the long side tabs, leaving just a white frame.
7. Cut three more accordion panels, one pink, one green, and one yellow and cut out the large circles in the center. You can use scraps as you only need the circles.
8. Cut 16 decorative frame edges in blue. The easiest way to do this is to put your card stock on ECD double-sided adhesive before cutting. Before you stick them down stick it to your clothes to reduce the tackiness a bit to allow for repositioning. (A little tip learned from Karen Burniston)
9. Cut 4 white circles from the middle sized circle in the Accordion Card die set and stamp three of them with a gold sentiment.
Now it is time to assemble your creation:
10. To assemble your card, take the three whole white panels and point the tabs to the right. Place a strip of double-sided adhesive on each tab and begin attaching the three white panels to form the Accordion card.
11. Take the three large colored circles and adhere one in each circle on the panels.
12. Begin removing the adhesive from the backs of the frame edges and place them on each panel. They are designed to leave a little space on both edges. Keeping that in mind will make it easier to get them even.
13. Now adhere your colored and glittered peel-off circles on the card, one in each panel.
14. Snip the tabs from the last panel as you will not need them.
15. Place a tiny piece of adhesive on the small tabs of the first two panels. I like to get the panels folds going at this point, first a valley fold then a mountain.
16. Adhere small tabs. (They will fold in the opposite from each other. First mountain, then valley.)
17. Adhere the 3 white frames cut earlier to the back of the card. This will create some stiffness and will look neater as it will cover the tabs.
18. Adhere circles with sentiment. Adhere “just for you” at the front of the card, right bottom corner and adhere “Happy Birthday” (so on the inside of the first panel) to the back. Adhere the last sentiment on the right bottom corner of the third panel and a blank circle on the back.
19. I also like to cut colored circles to cover the back and add a little white die cut for a sentiment there but this is not necessary. 🙂
I hope you enjoyed this card and if you have any questions leave me a comment here and I will answer!

Oh Kelly … this is amazing. Just amazing. Your colouring on the glittered Peel-Offs is out of this world. Anyone would love getting this card in the mail. Wow!
Thank You so much Karen…..xoxo
It’s wonderful, Kelly. Any one of those Flower Circle Frames Peel-offs could also stand on its own for a card front or would work as part of a shorter Accordion with two panels – one for the Flower Circle and one for a sentiment – or an even longer one with Flower Circle panels alternating with more sentiments or some photos. Always endless possibilities.
