It’s another easy fun fold card idea for you! Today I am featuring the beautiful Peaceful Cabin stamp set from Stampin’ Up! in an accordion style fun fold card. It’s super simple to create and has absolutely stunning results.
Accordion Fun Fold Card
This fun fold card was inspired by a card I received from my friend Judy Cain. Start with a 5-1/2 x 11 inch piece of Basic Gray card stock. Score the 11 inch side at 1-3/4, 5-1/2 and 9-3/4 inches. Fold the card in half on the 5-1/2 inch score line. Then fold the 1-3/4 inch section back onto itself. Fold the last section so it is resting on the 1-3/4 inch section.
The front of the card gives the illusion of an accordion fold as the two small flaps overlap onto each other. Once you open the card, you can see there are two separate folds on opposite ends of the card. A typical accordion fold features the folds directly next to each other.
Peaceful Cabin
Besides the fun fold idea, the cards also feature the Peaceful Cabin stamp set and Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper (DSP). Both the stamp set and the DSP have absolutely stunning winter images. Plus, the sentiments and greetings can be used to create cards for any occasion, not just Christmas.
This fun fold card features the stamp set and DSP but it has nothing to do with Christmas. It’s a beautiful thank you which simply features a wintery scene. I love when products are this versatile.
