The Collective Noun for Concertina Cards?

Would that be a "fold of concertina's"? I'm still on a wedding theme, and wondering if a group of concertina or accordion cards might be called a fold… what do you think, any other suggestions?


This Bride began with Thank you's for her Bridesmaids, and then came back with special messages written for all her closest family members.


We made the family ones smaller…. 3 inches square when folded, 
to fit into favour boxes with other little goodies...


 all wrapped in gorgeous sanwaa tissue, with tags.


Not forgetting a card for the Groom, of course. 
I know she dropped hints, quite blatant ones, but he never asked me to write one for her
so I hope this groom found something equally romantic for his bride!

An Arty Card for a Teenager...

… that sleeps at every opportunity!

 "I don't take naps…. I take horizontal life pauses"

I've had these backgrounds painted for a while, so when my sister made a request for this brilliant quotation, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. All I had to do was pick a colour!


Then my niece decided that they'd make perfect 'Thank you' cards for her teachers…. of course she only let me know the day before she needed them. Kids eh! 


She was right though…. they're a perfect non-conventional extra special card
that can say anything that you want them to.


I love the freedom of making gestural marks reminiscent of writing but without the need for words.


 I even used up my last piece of fuchsia coloured paper for her [you owe me H!] It's such a shame…. I'll have to order some more paper now *smile*. It was a touch bright to go with the raspberry ribbon, but sanwaa tissue over the top toned it down just enough.
