Today I have an accordion fun fold card design to share with you. The cards feature the Merry Snowflakes bundle from Stampin’ Up! and some of the fun Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper (DSP). However, keep in mind you can use any supplies you have on hand to create this fun fold design.
Accordion Fold Design
This fun fold card was inspired by the Peaceful Cabin Fun Fold card I shared with you last week. If you missed it, you can check it out HERE. To create this card, start with a 5-1/2 x 11 inch piece of Mint Macaron card stock. Score the 11 inch side at 1-1/4, 4 and 6-3/4 inches. Accordion fold on the score lines.
Open up the card and lay it flat in front of you. Decorate it from left to right by cutting DSP or cardstock for each of the four sections. Close the card and add an additional piece of DSP to the front flap. Then create a belly band to keep it closed. You can get all of the measurements in my free tutorial below.
Versatile Design
The cool thing about this card design is that it is quite versatile. You can create another card, with a completely different look, simply by changing out the patterned papers. For this card, I used different patterned papers from the Whimsy & Wonder DSP but the measurements are exactly the same.
There are so many possibilities with this design! Create cards for Christmas, Birthdays, Graduation, etc. The sky is the limit with this design. Plus, it’s such a great way to use up your patterned papers.
