World's Best Dad

Chose to do yet another accordian flag book card, this time for a birthday card for my dad. Really like that these are fairly easy to put together and are really fun and quite impressive for the recipient to open. For the front of dad's card, I used the globe cut on the Locker Talk cartridge and a Darcie bear image rendered into a cutfile using Make the Cut (MTC).

I made this into a trifold card so I would have an extra page to add a sentiment and used ribbon tied into a bow to keep the card closed.
Here's what the card looked like on the inside when fully open with the flags in place. Used another Darcie bear image created with MTC and trophy is cut from a very old Sizzix die. Alphas on the flags are from Plantin Schoolbook.
And here's the top view showing the pleats.



The finished card, tied closed with it's bow, went into this box created with printed cardstock from DCWV. Used a simple belly band and medallion embossed with a "Happy Birthday" Cuttlebug die to decorate the box and it was ready for giving.
