Side Accordion Panel Card: How To EASILY Make This Adorable Card

Fun Folds Cards

20 Jan

Learning how to make a side accordion panel card is easy. In this tutorial, I show you the exact steps you need to have your card looking adorable every time you make this fun fold!

I received many beautiful Christmas cards over the holidays; one of them was from a team member, Jody Thorp. The card was beautiful and have a unique side fold that I had never seen before!

I got to work on creating my own cards with what I’m calling a ‘side accordion panel card’. I think you’ll like these card designs.

If you love fun fold cards or love to make something other than a standard A2 size card then the side accordion panel card is a great choice! It’s easy and as you’ll see in the video it’s a card design that is very versatile and makes great-looking cards for all occasions!

👉 Which side accordion panel card did you like best? Sailboat, Tulips, Strawberry, or Reindeer? What will you use to create your card? I want to hear your creative ideas!

I used the ‘Flowering Tulips Suite’ for this card

The Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is bursting with bright colors and it’s one of my favorites! The Flowering Fields Suite actually has two Bundles:

  • Flowering Tulips
  • Tulip Fields
