This card is a bit different.
The accordion part is hidden inside the flowerpot shaped card. I did this for a Mother’s Day class two years ago and I will dearly miss “Rose In Winter” stamp set!
Fold a card in half and trace a “flowerpot” shape (with the crease being the bottom of the pot). The inside was the same pattern, only slightly smaller (shown in white). The “accordion” is just a strip of colored cardstock (Pretty In Pink) scored for 3 “mountain” folds and 3 “valley” folds (and I tore the edges). The roses were cut out and glued on the folds.
The roses were stamped in Blush Blossom, Pretty in Pink “stamped off” and Pretty in Pink heavy for the inside. The petals are mellow moss (stamped off first for lighter shade and then stamped full strength for detail shading.
Over the next few weeks, I will feature my favorite projects and cards done with sets that are going away. I will most likely be featuring them in my “going away” Stamp-A-Stack class in June.
What a gorgeous card. I love making special fold cards. I’m going to miss Roses in Winter too.

Hi Amy, you have a fabulous website. I just love it. I think I would like to make this flower pot with Happy Spring, do you have a pattern for the flower pot. I would love to have it. If I may!
Please and thank you. Thanks for sharing your creations.

What a gorgeous card. I just rec’d this stamp set today from a purchase I made. I am so glad that they decided to part with this set. I know that I will get a lot of use out of it. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous card.
