The sentiments I used on the front and inside of my card are from a NEW Online Exclusive Samp Set, Thanks & Giving.

I love the sentiments and images in this set and know I will use them all! I showcased this stamp set in another Thanksgiving card I created. If you missed that post, you can view it HERE.

My second card features the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper. I can’t seem to get enough of this paper pack. I love the color combination of Secret Sea, Fresh Freesia, and Peaceful Pine.

This fun fold stands so nice for display!

The sentiment on the front is from the Framed Violets Stamp Set which is part of the Violet Dreams Suite along with the ribbon and embellishment. One the inside of the card I used a favorite stamp set, Framed All Around (Last Chance item!!!!).

Multi Panel Accordion Fun Fold Card with Violet Dreams

August 6, 2026August 6, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

It’s been a busy week! I have had today’s card ready to go for days but just haven’t had the time to get online to post it! Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Multi Panel Accordion Card similar to this.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Violet Dreams multi panel accordion fun fold birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This accordion fold card is a beautiful way to showcase the new 12×12 Violet Dreams designer paper. The Stampin’ Up! Violet Dreams patterned paper (and suite) is an Online Exclusive July 2026 release. You won’t find this gorgeous paper in any catalog!
Stampin' Up! Violet Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Violet Dreams 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper is a whole mood: sweet, airy, and instantly eye-catching. With delicate violet florals, polka dots, soft stripes, and coordinating precut pieces of blooms and leaves to layer on cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects, it brings all the soft, dreamy vibes your crafts crave.

I used the coordinating Framed Violets Bundle on the front of my card. I colored the flowers with Highland Heather and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends. I decided to add a couple of pearl embellishments at the last minute.

I went “rogue” and added 2 x 5 3/8 white strips on the back of my card to add additional sentiments as I had a lot to say about this milestone birthday!
