I actually bought the ones that have a gingham pattern on them, but I made the four in the top picture.
Step 1: Take an A4 sheet and fold in four landscape:
Step 2: Fold the sheet as shown (if you want a longer bit on the first fold, just adjust the angle of the fold - this will just produce shorter cards:
Step 3: Cut along the crease:
Step 4: Fold each piece to make 2 concertina zigzag cards:
Step 5: Decorate however you wish. You can either then leave the card so that it fully opens, or stick down the zigzag bits so that it's just a simple opening card. I sometimes stick down the edges, that then leaves a pocket to take a tag.
