Center pop-out Fun fold card with video & free project sheet

September 8, 2025

This fun fold card I’m sharing today is super fun to open and to make. It looks like a normal card from this photo:

But look how it opens! The center pops out for a nice surprise.

My colors include Cajun Craze, Early Espresso & Basic Beige. The designer paper is from the Gathering Together pack seen here.

This designer paper is part of our Online Exclusives. To see all of these new items click here. Or download & save the Download Online Exclusives flyer

I used the Branching Out stamp set for the greeting and the fabulous new Traditional Labels dies seen here.

In the photo below you can see the scored bridge strip that pops out the center. To understand how to assemble this card please watch the video below. It will make sense then!

What is a ‘Live Edge’ card? Check it out and the video tutorial too

October 15, 2024
You may have heard of 'Live Edge' tables; but have you ever heard of a 'live edge' card? Well that's what I'm calling this technique!

I stamped the sweet dragonfly repeatedly along the right edge of my White card base. I twisted the image each time and made sure they were touching or very close to each other. After stamping I fussy cut the edge off from the dragonflies. I think it took less than a minute to trim. I think it's well worth the effort!

The Happiest Day stamp set is adorable; I love the whimsical dragonflies and the bold greetings. Having two separate images for the wings means you can change up the colors for 2-toned results. See the set here.

Here's how I stamped the inside:

Products used:
- Happiest Day stamp set
- Inks – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Memento Black
- Other – Something Fancy dies, Paper Snips, Iridescent striped ribbon, Full of Life DSP
I love the way the colors fade from top to bottom mimicking the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. I achieved this with just 3 colors of ink, but stamping off for a few of them.

Do you ever stamp off to get a lighter hue of ink? Sometimes it's the perfect shade!

Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product. It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made:

I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal. See it here. The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies.

Here's how I stamped the inside.

For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.

Save

I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple.

Here are the measurements:
- White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
- Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
- Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"
Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
