I added just a few finishing touches—sentiments cut from the Many Messages Dies and a sprinkle of Pressed Flower Motif Embellishments. Because, let’s be honest, your card isn’t fully dressed without a little bling!

What makes this Accordion Fold so special is how the scenes flow seamlessly across the panels. The design lines up when the card is both open and closed, creating a true panoramic effect that feels like flipping through an art gallery.

✉️ Can I mail it?

Absolutely! This card folds down perfectly to fit inside a standard envelope. Depending on how many layers or embellishments you add, you may need extra postage—but it’s worth every penny for the wow factor.

Sample from the video

Here’s the version of the card I made on the video. I wanted to try a different pattern from the paper pack. I did this one on Pretty Peacock base.

It still needs a greeting, what do you think I should put on it?
