Basic Accordion Card Blanks

I created these designs to save you loads of time and frustration!  No measuring needed, just cut on your machine and assemble the layers (if needed or wanted!).  The hardest part will be choosing the papers!  You can stamp on the panels, letter on the base accordion, and add drawings or photos to these designs with ease. 

•  I've made you a Basic Square Accordion Card Blank which includes decorative panels if you wish to use them. Since we're limited by a 12" piece of paper, I've added a tabbed accordion so you can keep adding accordion panels to make your card as long as you want. If you wish to decorate both sides of the accordion, simply double the number of panels you cut!
• There Basic Rectangle Accordion Card Blank comes with decorative panels, both rectangular and oval.  Cut them all the same, vary them as I've done or don't use any! I've added a tabbed accordion so you can keep adding accordion panels to make your card as long as you want. If you wish to decorate both sides of the accordion, simply double the number of panels you cut! I've also added a belly band which works well when two sections of this accordion are joined.
•  There is a simple Stepped Accordion Card Blank that includes decorative panels if you wish to use them and there are enough to add to both sides of the accordion. An interesting variation on the basic accordion.
• There is another stepped accordion, but this one is angled. The Stepped Angled Accordion Card Blank also includes decorative panels if you wish to use them - enough for both sides. I really like this variation!
• The Tag Accordion Card Blank can be short or long. I've added a tabbed accordion so you can keep adding accordion panels to make your card as long as you want. If you wish to decorate both sides of the accordion, simply double the number of panels you cut!  For fun, add some ribbon to the holes at the top!
