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.

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!

Gorgeously Made & Delightfully Eclectic swaps

June 6, 2023
I thought I'd share a few swaps I received on the Norway incentive trip.

This first card was made by Alanna Wharf. It features the Gorgeously Made bundle seen here.

This card put me over the edge; now I have to get this bundle!

She used the Masterfully Made 12" designer paper seen here (sale price now at $10.62) and the Soft Shimmer 12" combo pack on the leaf die-cut.

Here's a close-up of this specialty paper and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love the simplicity of this card; it really shows off the die-cut, pretty DSP & texture.

Next is a card my friend Susie Wood made with the new Delightfully Eclectic 12 X 12" designer paper seen here. It's on sale this month; marked down from $30 to $25.50. There are 48 sheets in this pack; 4 each of 12 designs.

I love her layout; it really shows off the pattern of the daisy DSP. That greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.

Save

Her measurements are:
- Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- yellow DSP 2" X 4"
- Crushed Curry CS 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
- daisy DSP 4 pieces at 1" X 3"
