Today I’m joining a great group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators for a Fun Fold Blog Hop! Everybody loves fun fold cards and today you’re going to see lots of them! Follow the lineup at the end of this post to see everything!
My fun fold is called a Double Accordion Gatefold Card. I first saw this card demonstrated by Connie Stewart and I just loved it! Because it’s cold and snowy all over the country, I wanted to make a happy, bright card for you. I used the Easter Joy Designer Series Paper and Pastel Shimmer Paper.
This card is SO much fun! Here are some measurements, as I know you’ll want to make this card!
Cut from an 8-1/2″ x 11″ piece of cardstock: a card base 5-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 1-1/2,” 3-1/2,” 7-1/2,” and 9-1/2″
You’ll have a piece left over and you’ll cut off 3/8″ of the length from that piece
Then score that piece at 2-1/8,” 4-1/4″ 6-3/8″
Pieces of designer series paper: 5-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ for the inside of the card; two pieces 5-1/4″ x 1-3/4″ and 2 pieces 5-1/4″ x 1-1/4″
You can search on YouTube for a Double Accordion Gatefold Card tutorial. There are several and they will show you more than I can describe. I may create a YouTube video in the future 🙂
Here’s how the card looks when it’s closed. On the front are flowers and leaves from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. The Pretty in Pink piece was cut with a die from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies and embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.
One thing I love is this tiny little card in the center! It’s a 1-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock scored at 2-5/8″ and stamped on the front.

Stunning project, from design, to paperchoice, to execution. ❤️
Wow, Peggy, this card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the fun fold, of course, and the papers you used make this card stand out even more. What a great card! Thank you for joining the blog hop this month. I’m so happy you joined us!! Have a great rest of your week.
I love this fun fold card. I made it a long time ago. Time to make it again. Thank you for the inspiration!
