Peaceful Garden Accordion Pocket Fold Cards
Featuring the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Garden Suite + Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Kit
Today I’m excited to share a stunning set of 2 Accordion Pocket Fold cards I created with the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Garden Suite. These cards also incorporate pieces from the coordinating Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, making them a breeze to create — even on the go!
Whether you’re crafting for the holidays or looking for an elegant sympathy card, this fun fold offers both beauty and versatility. Let’s take a look inside…
Shades of Blue That Sparkle and Shine
One of the things I absolutely adore about this suite is the color palette. The combination of Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, and Cloud Cover is just breathtaking. These cool tones bring a peaceful, elegant feel that’s perfect for winter-themed or heartfelt cards.
The Accordion Pocket Fold allows for a layered look while still folding flat — yes, it fits perfectly inside a standard medium envelope! (Just a heads-up: depending on embellishments, it might need a little extra postage.)
Holiday or Sympathy? You Choose!
Although I designed these cards as holiday cards, the peaceful dove die cuts and subtle elements from the suite make them perfect for sympathy or thinking-of-you cards too. Just swap out the sentiment, and you’re ready for a whole new occasion.
Gold Foil Greetings Made Easy
For the “Merry Christmas & Bright” card, I used the Greetings for You Ephemera Pack. This handy set includes gold foil pre-cut sentiments that are absolutely gorgeous and ready to use right out of the pack — no stamping required!
It’s a great time-saver during busy holiday crafting sessions, and adds instant polish to your card front.
Craft On-the-Go with the Scrapbooking Kit
The Peaceful Days Scrapbooking Kit was a huge help in putting these cards together quickly. I used the beautiful dove die cuts from the kit for my Merry and Bright card, and the stickers and designer paper helped tie everything together.
If you haven’t checked out this kit yet, it’s a hidden gem — and the sticker pack can also be purchased separately!
Step-by-Step Tutorial + Video Class
Want to make these cards with me? I’ve got you covered!
I’ve created step-by-step instructions so you can follow along and make these cards yourself. I’ve also included a video class tutorial where I show you exactly how to create the Accordion Pocket Fold and walk through both card designs using the Peaceful Garden Suite.
