Many years ago when I started paper crafting I remember making these beautiful screen cards by folding card stock and using punches to create the legs and decorate the tops. Becca Feeken has taken this concept to the next level with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2019 – Graceful Concertina. Making delicate and intricate concertina cards is now so quick and easy and it took me longer to decide on the decorations of the card. This card reminded me of Victorian style screens that could be found in the boudoir in a stately house, and I selected the Mintay Peony Garden papers and ephemera to further emphasize the vintage feel.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

I have made the concertina base card using the instructions from Becca Feeken here, however, I did not use the gold accents and instead keeping to a very simple design with cream cardstock. I have decorated the card with papers from Mintay Peony Garden collection and added extra die cuts to create my scenes. I kept the centre panel plain to add the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies on the front and to have a space for the greeting on the back.

To finish I added some pearls to the decorative panels.
