01/21/2026 - Two Accordion Fun Fold Cards

Join me for two very different Accordion FUN FOLD Cards. This is a very easy way to use up that Designer Series Paper (DSP) you've been holding onto for "a project.'

Both cards use liquid glue (not tape) and card two uses dimensionals as well. I also used the Everyday Arches Dies and flat matte dots (with blends to color match)

Here are the measurements:

Interior Accordion Fold Card
Base card: 4-1/4″ x 11″ card stock scored at 5-1/2″ (side fold card base) - NOTE: If using directional DSP, make sure the TOP edge of the DSP is facing left or right on your trimmer when you cut!
DSP for front: 4″ x 5-1/4″
DSP for interior accordion: 4″ x 12″. Score 4×12 piece at 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 7″, 8″ & 9″, then cut 2″ off the right side (for front flap of white card on interior);
White card stock for interior: 4″ x 4″, scored at 2″ (folded in 1/2); cover right side with the 2×4 piece of DSP (AFTER you’ve placed the white piece in place so it opens on the left side and the fold is on right…see video for details)

Card Front Accordion Card
Designer paper: 5-1/4″ x 12″ NOTE: Same cutting tip as above if using directional DSP.
Score Designer paper at 4″, 7-1/2″ and 10-3/4″ (IF using a directional piece, put the DSP in the Simply Scored or paper trimmer so it is TOP SIDE DOWN, then score it. You want the 4” section on the right side of the strip when it’s facing in the upright position and the 1-1/4” on the far left side.)
Card stock: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ in coordinating color (for base of folded DSP)
