I was looking around on Pinterest for inspiration and came across a card by Patty Bennett. She used a long piece of Ornate Garden Designer Paper folded in 3 places to make an accordion style fun fold card. So I clicked on the pinned idea and it took me to her blog post where she shared how versatile this basic fold can be. I was reminded with one of her variations that I HAD indeed used this same fold in past cards I’ve made, too.
Patty showed that you can get four card variations from that folded designer paper, but I thought of one more. And I just showed these variations live on YouTube about an hour ago. (I used the Christmastime is Here Designer Paper, the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set, the Sweetest Borders Dies, and All The Trimmings Ribbon, and the Wonderful Gems for the first card. And I used the Healing Hugs Stamp Set and Ornate Borders Dies for the second one.) And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
You are so creative! Thanks for sharing this idea/video. I’m going to use this idea to use up some of my retired DSP.
Oh thank you Janeen! Yes…such a great way to use up those stacks of 12×12.
Love all your creations Rachel, thanks for sharing them. I was wondering what catalog the paper Christmas time is here is on? I have both catalogs but can’t find it. Is it available for non demonstrators? Thanks again
Marina
The fold for 4 cards is the paper I am talking about.
This Christmastime is Here Designer Paper is hard to find in the online store. And it’s not in any of the catalogs. It was offered last year as an online “while supplies last” only special offer item. The link at the bottom of my post will bring you right to it. Or do a search for “Christmastime” with a capital C or for 152154 which is its order number. (CCurrently it is not under the category of Patterned Paper or Specialty Paper.)
Very creative cards. I loved them all. Easy measurements too. I enjoyed your video.
Thanks so much Deb!
I watched last night Sept. 26, Awesome cards. I cannot wait order the paper and make some. I am a Demonstrator in West Palm, Fl. Love your cards.
Oh yay! Glad you enjoyed what I shared Pamela. ?
