Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!

October 21, 2022

I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card. I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video. See it here on my YouTube channel.

I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here. It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now.

LIGHTS AGLOW 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Here's what the card looks like folded flat. It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".

I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items.

Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls. I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.

Measurements:

Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”

Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here. Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here.

The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.

Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
