Handmade Elegance with a Simple Twist
Hi friends! If you’re searching for a handmade card idea that’s elegant yet simple to make, you’re going to love today’s project. I’ve created not one, but two Accordion Fun Fold cards using the Floral Impressions Suite from Stampin’ Up!
This paper crafting project is perfect for both beginners and seasoned crafters. With a few thoughtful cuts and folds, you’ll have a beautiful, layered card that looks way more complicated than it is.
About the Cards
These Accordion Fun Folds may look intricate, but they’re surprisingly easy to assemble. I started with the gorgeous Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper—the colors and patterns do so much of the work for you!
For extra texture and depth, I fussy cut a few flowers right from the paper and popped them up with Dimensionals.
To give the cards a luxurious finish, I added layers of Metallic Gold Specialty Paper and used elegant pieces from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack.
These gold-accented labels are perfect for adding a sentiment or greeting without needing to stamp if you’re short on time.
Will It Fit in an Envelope?
Absolutely! These cards were designed to fold flat and slide into a standard medium envelope. Just keep in mind that if you add a lot of popped-up elements or embellishments, it may require extra postage when mailing.

Trying to find the Pinterest card you posted called media florals. It was a center fold card with pink tulips on the front.
Hi Mary! Thanks for writing. I’m happy to help, I have a few Mixed Media Floral tutorials. Based on your description I think this is the card you may be looking for: https://stampwithtami.com/blog/2025/02/mixed-media-florals-accordion-gatefold-card-series-5/
If this isn’t it and you still have the card saved on Pinterest and it isn’t a screen shot you should be able to click it and it should bring you to it on my blog for the tutorial. But if that doesn’t work you can try the SEARCH box.
