HOLIDAY CARD IDEA #2 and #3: Circular Accordion (Two Ways!)
Throughout the month of October, we’ll be bringing you great ideas for your 2019 holiday cards (and a few surprises, too)! This week, we’re highlighting two creative ways to use a Circular Accordion for your holiday greetings. First is a whimsical 5-panel Circular Accordion holiday card design from Lenz Illustration & Design. After that, Trish will show a 3-panel, Tapered Circular Accordion that forms a snowman. It’s “two-for-one” holiday fun!

HOLIDAY CARD IDEA #1:
Rectangular Twist Fold Card
We’re dedicating an entire month to bringing you great ideas for your 2019 holiday cards! First up, we’re highlighting a mail-friendly Rectangular Twist Fold. This piece is brilliant, because it defies the square proportion (and higher mailing costs) of every other Twist Fold we’ve ever seen. Designed by Kandyce Parsons and produced by Slate Group for client Junior League of Lubbock, this exciting modification offers a magical splurge/save scenario. It’s a must-see!
