How to Make an Interactive Christmas Accordion Card

December 11, 2025 by Heather Holbrook

If there’s someone really special on your Christmas card list this year why not make them a card that is as special as they are? This amazing card from Dori features a long accordion section and a card front that is interactive, isn’t it cool!? (pun intended :)). She created different scenes on each panel with stamps and dies designing a Christmas train filled with stamped penguins and snowmen chugging though a winter wonderland of glittery die cut snow and polka dot pine trees. The front panel has wavy die cut channels so the cute penguins can slide up and down the snowy hill. There’s also white splatter and die cut snowflakes to really give the feel of a wintery day.
