My Card Today
So, today’s project is an Accordion Z Fold card, which has been in my “to-do” file for such a long time! Since you know I like making easy fun folds, I hope you will try this. I thought it would go particularly well with the new Beary Christmas suite that I just ordered from the new holiday catalog.
My Secrets!
Let’s start with the card base…
- Firstly, this A2 card base(#1) started with 5-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock, and scored at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2,” 5-1/4,” and 7.”
- Card Base #2: 6-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ and scored at 3-1/4.”
- Card Base #1 DSP: 1-5/8″ x 5-3/8″ (2) and the inside used 3-7/8″ x 5-3/8″
- Card Base #2 DSP: 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ (2)
- Personal Message white cardstock: 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Now, the FUN part!
- Once that was done, I began the card front by stamping the Beary Cute sentiment with Night of Navy ink. Then, I cropped it out with the Deckled Circle die. Before popping it up with dimensionals, I cut a piece of the Balmy Blue Sparkle Ribbon and adhered it to the panel.
- After that, I punched the bear (on the personal message panel from the coordinating designer paper and fussy cut the other three bears. I popped up the punched bear on the panel as well as the baby bear on the card front. Then, I glued down the other two bears onto the inside of the second card base.
- Finally, I added the glitter sequins onto the panels for the bling that all holiday cards should have.

I can’t wait to CASE this, Debbie. I just got my DSP and punch yesterday. I didn’t get the stamp set. I bet Noah would love your card! TFS.
This card design is on my list to try, too! Love the color scheme of white and blues, and those darling bears dressed for winter are so sweet!
That card is so cute ….and folds flat? Will try this design today! And that baby bear…….
A fun fold for this festive card. Thanks for sharing at Allsorts this week.
