Dried Flower Delight Concertina Card With Floating Panel
New Plaid Papers – Digital Download 🍂✨
I’m excited to share my plaid paper collection with you! I’ve called them Autumn collection because the front page features warm, autumnal colours, but they’re truly versatile and can be used all year round – even for Christmas projects. They also work brilliantly for men’s cards, making them a great staple for your craft stash.
Here are the colours included
Today’s blog post is inspired by my recent card where my two favourite hobbies came together – cardmaking and flower arranging. You’ll spot this in my sample card, where the plaid background pairs beautifully with floral details.

The card style i have named a Concertina Card with floating panel
There aren’t any instructions as I just made it up using my Top Score board—I love experimenting with quirky folds. The back section is a concertina card, made by scoring and folding an A4 sheet into four equal panels.
I added a hidden flap to hold the centre topper in place 🥰, then finished it off with dried flowers, grasses, and raffia. (this attached to the second panel in like a "L" (just like a mini card blank) with one side on the panel and the other side attached to the back of the topper
Because i chose to decorate the centre topper panel and the two outer wings - this one will have to go in a box, normally the two wings would fold back
I have had so many messages about the dried flowers. I will be using lots of these over the next week or two so i thought i would list them altogether here:

The raffia that i used for the bows can be found here: https://amzn.to/3Vcsk44
I love using my glue gun to stick down the flowers and bows as it is an instant bond
I used tape pens for the matting and layering
