4 panel accordion fold birthday cards have become my latest obsession, and I’m not even sorry about it! Picture this: I’m sitting in my craft room, surrounded by paper scraps and half-finished projects (we’ve all been there, right?), when suddenly these gorgeous sheets of Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone paper catch my eye. LIGHTBULB MOMENT! Why use just a teensy corner of this paper beauty when I could transform HALF A SHEET of 12×12 into something that makes people go “Wait, how did you DO that?!” These cards unfold like a little surprise party, revealing one delightful panel after another. The best part? They look like you spent hours measuring and calculating, but between us crafty conspirators, they’re actually super easy! So grab your paper trimmer and score board, because we’re about to turn paper into birthday magic that will have your friends thinking you’ve gone pro!
