A neat Diamond Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

January 19, 2026

I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week’s Live video. If you missed it you can watch it here on YouTube or here on Facebook.

Isn’t it a neat card fold? And it’s super easy to make. I also love that it shows off our coordinating designer series paper so well. Here I used the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP seen here. It’s gorgeous prints include gold foil accents.

I made two different versions because I needed multiples of them for our January Team swap with my Flowerbug’s.

The center greeting layer is added with two folded strips of paper positioned next to the center score line. This allows the greeting to pivot and pop-up when you flex the card. These are about 1 1/2″ X 1/2″ and I simply fold them in half and placed with the score lines next to each other.

You can see how the center panel ‘pops’ up when it’s opened. I really love this fold!

I used the Greenery Lane bundle for the greeting and the White leaf die-cut. You can see this bundle here.

The other two dies are from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

I created a free project sheet for this fun fold card. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card.

More fun fold cards!

May 21, 2020
Each day this week I'm sharing many of the Fun Fold card swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team. They are amazing!

First is Candace's pretty Double Triangle card:

Save

This card is so fun to make and to receive! You can find all kinds of tutorials for this fold. Here's a video I made for it:

The best thing about this card fold is how perfectly it uses both your card stock and designer paper without waste! And it makes 2 cards at the same time!

Start out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock. Score it down the center both ways; at 5 1/2" and 4 1/4". Then cut in half on the diagonal like this:

Save

Now cut two pieces of designer paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" in half. Use double sided paper for the best use; two for each card.

Save

Candace used the retiring Peaceful Poppies designer paper seen here, the Painted Label dies and the Peaceful Moments bundle. I love that splash of designer paper inside the card!

Save

- The Olive stitched rectangle is 3 1/2" X 2 1/4"

Paula made this striking fun fold card using the Peaceful Poppies designer paper and the Painted Poppies bundle.

Save

This Peaceful Poppies designer paper is retiring and is on the Last Chance list now while supplies last here. I'm so glad the Painted Poppies bundle will be returning in the new Annual catalog!

Wow; don’t miss these Fun Fold cards!

May 20, 2020
Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's! We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate. See the others here and here.

First up is Annette's Kite Fold card!

Save

I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place. She has a tutorial for it here. Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card. So the finished size may be different.

Save

Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" . She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

Save

I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

~~~

Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here! I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too. It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters!

Save

The Follow Your Art embellishment kit comes with lots of fun accents including these stitched felt pieces! Its on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

Save

Measurements:
- Calypso Coral base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Designer paper is 4" X 5 1/4"
- White is 2 1/2" X 8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8"
