Hi there, todays tutorial is Accordion Fold Card in Silhouette Studio. One of the keys to creating a great word accordion fold card is to find the right font. I like to use a bold font where the letters are close to the same width. Check out this tutorial on my method to choose the perfect font every time. I am going to use the Kimberley font which you can download for free at dafont.com . If you have a Silhouette Portrait the first step is go to Design Page Settings. Change the Page Size to Width of 12 in and Height of 8.5 in and choose the Landscape orientation for the mat. Silhouette Cameo users can skip this step. Use the text tool to type the word MOM using the Kimberley font at 500 point. Then right click on the word and choose Ungroup. I like to make my accordion fold cards so that each letter is the same width and height. This makes the card fold nicely for a clean look. We are going to resize the letters.  You can start by deleting the second M, because

Hi there, yesterday we celebrated Midsummer here in Sweden, it's a big celebration with good friends and food, and if the nature is allow it, to be outdoors. And here is a explanation of Midsummer: Raising and dancing around a maypole (majstång or midsommarstång) is an activity that attracts families and many others. Greenery placed over houses and barns were supposed to bring good fortune and health to people and livestock; this old tradition of decorating with greens continues, even though most don't take it seriously. To decorate with greens was called att maja (to may) and may be the origin of the word majstång, maja coming originally from the month May. Other researchers say the term came from German merchants who raised the maypole in June because the Swedish climate made it impossible to find the necessary greens and flowers in May, and continued to call it a maypole. Today, however, it is most commonly[citation needed] called a "midsommarstång" (litera
