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!

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more. I hope you try making one!

New In Colors paired with the Kite Delight stamp set

April 29, 2022

I shared this colorful kite card on a recent FB live video here. I wanted to use the Kite Delight stamp set and the newest In Colors coming out on May 3rd.

The kite and sun are fussy cut and the kite is colored in with new In Color Blends markers.

I've been sharing the new In Colors with my Club gals this month and everyone LOVES them! They are so bright, happy & will be perfect additions to our color line.

If you're interested in getting these new In Colors you can opt in for my In Color bundle now through May 7th. See the options here. There's also an add on option for our In Color Blends markers – buy 4 get 1 free and a Designer paper share too!

I heat embossed the clouds with White embossing powder. But the image is an outline image and I wanted my clouds to be 'white'. So I used the Chalk Marker to color it in. Unfortunately it was on the retired list and is unavailable now. But two other ideas are to use a White watercolor pencil or a blender pen and White craft ink.

The Kite Delight stamp set is retiring at the end of May. I also created two other cards with it during the video. See all three cards below:

Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!

April 28, 2022
April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards. Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.

I couldn't wait to play with this kit! Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:

I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene. I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!

This next card uses the other half of the original card base. The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card. I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.

Save

Other Details:
- I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background.
- The caterpillar is from the kit.
- The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers.
- The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut.
