Today I am sharing a Display Accordion Gift Card Holder using products from the beautiful Sunflower Fields Suite. This Display Accordion Gift Card Holder gives you the best of both worlds—a fun fold card AND a gift card holder all in one!
You all know how much I love a good fun fold, and if I can add a gift card holder to it, even better! I really love the accordion design on this one because when you open it up, it stands beautifully for display while still giving you a special place to tuck in a gift card.
For my project, I am using products from the Sunflower Fields Suite, which has quickly become one of my favorites. The beautiful sunflowers work perfectly with this fold and really make the different sections of the card stand out.
Be sure to watch the video replay to see how fun it was to change up the colors and watch the step-by-step instructions on how this card comes togehter.

For today’s project I am creating what I am calling a Slider Pocket Fun Fold! This Slider Pocket Fun Fold for a simple interactive card. This Slider Pocket Fun Fold is featuring product from the Painted Patch Suite Collection that can be found in the September – December Catalog.
This has turned out to be another favorite of mine. What I love about this is that incorporates non-traditional Fall Colors. It brings in blues and pinks which I love. Typically I say the star of the show is the Designer Paper, but this time it is the Painted Pumpkins Bundle. This bundle includes coordinating dies that cut out the stamped or masked pumpkins. It also includes standalone pumpkin dies that are perfect for paper piecing.
One thing I really love is that the pumpkins come in a cluster of three for both stamping and die cutting. It makes creating your project so much easier than working with individual pumpkins. But my favorite part of this bundle has to be the buildable masks! I absolutely love a great mask and a little ink blending. As you can see on my project, the masks make it so easy to create beautifully shaded pumpkins with lots of dimension.

In yesterday’s YouTube LIVE I created this X-Fold Flash Card Fun Fold with you. I was inspired by Connie Stewart with this X-Fold Flash Card Fun Fold, and I immediately fell in love with it. For this project, I’m using the brand-new September Online Exclusive Autumn Opulence Designer Series Paper. The gorgeous fall colors and patterns are perfect for showing off this unique X Fold design.
The Sentiment is from the Thanks & Giving stamp set, also from the September Online Exclusive Release.
What I love about this fold is that it stands beautifully for display but folds completely flat. This does fit in a standard medium envelope as well.

I created this version during my YouTube LIVE yesterday, when I realized the inside flower that I stamped was from a retired stamp set. I switched things up a little but showcasing the flowers from Flowering Meadow and quickly realized it matched even better.
