I made an accordion card/mantle decoration like this last year at Recollections, and I saved all the pattern pieces so I could make them this year for those special friends and family. I also covered gift boxes so they can be stored year after year.
I wish I had a wide-angle lens, but obviously I don't so you'll have to ignore the bg and the desk---sorry
I've had several people inquire and I do have patterns and templates, and I can certainly share them but I have no idea how to do that on SCS. :( If anyone knows how to go about doing that please send me a pm.
All of the doors are adhered only on one edge so they can 'open' to reveal the packages and poinsettias behind. All paper edges are sponged with soft brown chalk ink. Each house front measures about 4 7/8 inches across and 10 inches high for the tallest and 8 1/2 inches high for the tallest.
TFL!
