Hello, everyone! I had a lot of people asking questions on how I adhere the accordion flower. So, I made a tutorial. Hope this helps. It is pretty easy to make .
Score a piece of 1"x12" piece of designer paper at 1/4".
Fold the score lines like an accordion. Put sticky strip on one end of the designer paper.
This is how it looks like when the ends are tape together.
This is how it look like when you push it down and in towards the middle. It will pop back up like the previous photo when you let it go.
Punch out a 3/4" circle piece of card stock and add Crystal Effect.
ETA: You can also use glue dots or hot glue to adhere the circle piece to the flower.
Put the accordion flower onto the 3/4" circle piece, push it in so the hole in the middle is small, and hold the flower for at least 1 minute or until the CE is dry. Make sure the flower is even and round all around.
This is how it looks on the back.
For the front I stamped a flower image, cut it out and adhere to a piece of Brocade Blue circle cardstock.
I pierced the edges with a piercing tool. Then, I adhere the top piece onto the flower with Crystal Effect. This keeps the accordion stay together and very sturdy.
Finish product. I made another one with a heart button I found in my stash of buttons.

This was one of the project I sent in for the November contest but didn't win. I really like it a lot. The heart was puff up with tissue paper from the inside. I then put Crystal Effect on the heart. It is really pretty in real life.
This was the birthday "Thank Yous" for Faith's and Hope's birthday. It was on the back burner because of all the Christmas things I had to do. Well, they're all done and hand deliver. Feel so much lighter now that they are out of my hands.
I put Crystal Effect on all the front of the book markers for wear and tear. I used CE also to glue the stamped pieces to the hodgepodge hardware.
