Better known as the flying seagull card, this accordion fold card uses designer paper for the outside panels to create a stunning 3D card for display.
Expanding cards provide ample room for not only designer paper but die cut and stamped images. My porch card is perfect for any occasion with a change in the greeting. Stampin’ Up!’s new 2023-2024 annual catalog is full of new DIY papercraft products and ideas. Be sure to get your copy HERE today.

Accordion Center Panel Card | Lazy Days
The blue tones in the new Countryside Inn Designer Paper include double-sided patterns. Lots of those include opportunities to make masculine cards, too!
The Lazy Days Dies include intricate details that compliment the stamp set. Add porch valances, railings, rockers and more. Today’s video will provide lots of tips and tricks on creating this card.
As if the expanding panels weren’t enough, the center panel opens allowing you space to add a sentiment or handwritten message.
The card displays perfectly with a slight slant and most likely where it received its flying seagull design name. Don’t let the panel intimidate you. It’s an easy card to make!
Beautiful tags can be used on the inside of cards, too. Their special shape creates a special spot for your signature.
Accordion Center Panel Card | Beautiful Balloons
Balloons work well with just about any occasion. Pair this Bundle with its coordinating Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper for endless designer ideas!
Bubble Bath is a new color among this year’s color refresh. It pairs perfectly with so many colors as well as metallics, as I’ve done here with Silver Foil.
Add the realism to this card by tying on silver trim which brightens the card along with the coordinating silver Festive Pearls.
Use the coordinating stamp images to bring the celebration to the inside. Streamers, balloons and confetti are among the options you can stamp quickly and easily.
Apple Harvest Get Well Card
Whatever color apples you like, the Apple Harvest stamp set allows you to create them. I opted for red apples (my personal favorites) to add a pop of color to this overall simple card.
Stampin’ Blends Markers are alcohol-based and allow you to color like a pro. Flawless, streak-free coloring with these affordable markers are easy to use. Check out my entire YouTube playlist on coloring techniques by clicking HERE.
Add embossing folder layers to your cards to create instant texture. Don’t skip the embellishments either! The Linen Thread and Brushed Metallic Dots give this card the perfect outdoorsy feeling.
Missing the perfect designer paper? Create your own by stamping images from the stamp set randomly on the cardstock as a background. The color coordination provided by Stampin’ Up! makes it easy.
