Happy Happy Friday! Whoo-hoo! Hoping your week has been a good one and that you’re looking forward to a fun weekend. I’m not seeing anything in particular on our “busy” social calendar so…it’s a play-it-by-ear weekend for us! 🙂
Today’s card is a cool fun fold – I saw a similar one on the interwebs and did some reverse engineering to make it into an A2 size to fit in my medium envelope. It’s a play on an accordion card – and I fancied it up with new goodies from the Alpine Winter suite -coming on 1 Sept in the Sept 2026 Online Exclusives! It’s got lots of space to show off Alpine Winter DSP and fun die cuts and sentiments from the coordinating Winter Adventures bundle. Take a look-see:
I started with a 5 1/2″ x 10 1/4″ piece of Peaceful Pine cardstock that, using my Paper Trimmer, I scored at 1 1/2″, 3″, 4 1/2″ and 6″. Starting with the 6″ score – I folded it as a valley and then folded each successive score line in the opposite direction to create an accordion.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of plaid Alpine Winter DSP (available on 1 Sep) to the back panel. Then I adhered 4 – 1 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ pieces of the DSP – in various designs – to the four small panels.
I stamped the cute pine cone image from the Winter Adventures set (avail 1 Sept) in Peaceful Pine in two corners of a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. I colored the pine cones with my Light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend.
Then I adhered it to the back of the card base with Liquid Glue.
For the small card, I scored and folded a 3 3/4″ x 6″ piece of Peaceful Pine cardstock at 3″.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered a 2 7/8″ x 3 5/8″ piece of woodgrain Alpine Winter DSP to the front panel of the small card base. Note: remember that this little card will open backwards – with the fold on the right (versus the left) so be sure to put the DSP on the correct “front”.
I adhered a 2 7/8″ x 3 5/8″ piece of mountain-y DSP to the other panel using Liquid Glue.
I used the oval frame die from Winter Adventures to cut out a Peaceful Pine frame – then I ran it back thru the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine using the Impressions Plate and the correct sandwich to emboss the die cut.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the die cut to the wood-grain side of the small card front.
I used the same oval die to cut out a mountain-scape from the Alpine Winter DSP. This time I kept the “negative” of the top portion and used Liquid Glue to adhere it in place inside the Peaceful Pine die cut.
Using the two tree dies in the Winter Adventures set, I cut out three trees from Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Paper. Using small bits of Black Stampin’ Dimensional – I adhered them to the oval.
I tied a bow from two lengths of Linen Thread and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
I stamped a sentiment from Winter Adventures in Versamark Ink on a 1/2″ wide strip of Misty Moonlight cardstock, sprinkled it with white Basics WOW Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.
I snipped an angle in both ends and adhered it over the bow with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut out two Misty Moonlight snowshoes and adhered them to the other side of the little card with Liquid Glue. Then I tied a little bow from new Secret Sea & Gold 3/8″ Satin Ribbon (new in the Suite on 1 Sept) and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
I added some clear Adhesive-backed Snowflakes to both panels and the little card was ready to adhere to the card base.
I closed the large card base, centered the small card on it and then used Liquid Glue to adhere it to the front accordion panel and then to the last accordion panel. Note: watch the video to see how to do it – it’s a lot easier to show than to write!
On a 2 7/8″ x 3 5/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a second Winter Adventures sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink. I stamped the pinecones in each corner in Peaceful Pine and colored them with the Light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend.
I adhered the panel to a Peaceful Pine mat and then to the center of the back panel with Liquid Glue and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium envelope got the Winter Adventures pinecones on the front…
…and a little more plaid Alpine Winter DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Well – if this Alpine Winter DSP and Winter Adventures bundle are a breath of cool winter air – and don’t we need a little bit of that right now!? – I don’t know what is! And I love this fun fun-fold, don’t you?! There’s other designs in the DSP pack that would be a so-fun to use on this card and would give you a whole ‘nuther look! 🙂
I hope you like and…are adding to your gotta-get-it list for 1 Sept!

Two of the three that got my attention in the middle of Thursday’s video! Two spotted babies and mom.
Not sure where baby #2 is – and I was afraid to walk around to try to see. I was pretty happy that mom let me step out the back door bolting!
