Accordion Card Making Fun

In our weekly live crafting video on Friday, I shared these fun Accordion cards then made more cards with the left over strips of designer paper using the beautiful Snowy Delight Snowflakes! I hope you enjoyed the video – if you missed it, check out the replay below in this post.

As I created these accordion cards with Stampin’ Up! designer paper, I made some that could be used all year round, and others with snowflakes for winter or holiday cards like the Elegant Pines Snowflake patterns below.

Six handmade accordion cards are displayed in two rows. Each card uses patterned paper in blue, green, or teal with pine and snowflake designs. The front panel reads “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” in elegant script. www.PattyStamps.com is written above. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Be sure to watch the paper scoring tip

If you are using a pattern of paper that is directional (has an “up and down” pattern) be sure to watch my cutting and scoring tip in the video so that your pattern doesn’t end up upside down.
