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!

Happy New Year! Who’s ready for new product?!

January 1, 2021
Happy New Year!!! It's officially 2021!

In some ways I cannot believe the actual year. When I was young I thought we'd have flying cars by now and would have people living on the moon! Ha!

I've been playing with lots of new product lately; getting ready for my New Catalog BOGO event on Tuesday, January 5th. I thought I'd share a silly card featuring a few new products with a little play on the end of 2020.

The cute donkey is from a stamp set called Darling Donkeys and it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order. I colored him in with Blends markers. The card is Crumb Cake and the confetti & number die-cuts are in Pacific Point, Bumblebee & Magenta Madness.

Save

Woo hoo!! Sale-a-Bration & the new 2021 Spring Catalog officially start on Tuesday, January 5th!

Products Used:
- The fun confetti die-cuts are from the Dandy Wishes dies in the new 2021 Spring Catalog; I love this retro style!
- The numbers are from the Playful Alphabet in the annual catalog; you get 58 dies for just $34.
- The greeting is from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's in a bundle with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (scalloped rectangle used here.)
Have a wonderful New Year's weekend everyone!

Life is Beautiful fun fold cards with video!

December 31, 2020
Here are the two cards I made on FB Live last week. I had to ink up my Life is Beautiful stamp set one more time. Sadly it's retiring on January 4th.

Save

This first card is made with Purple Posy & Gray Granite. I cut off 1 1/2" from the front layer to reveal a bit of the inside. I used the Stamparatus to stamp both the tree and greeting at the same time. I love it for mass producing! Perfect every time!

I used Highland Heather ink for the bokeh dots in this set; stamped off a few times. That neat texture is a new folder in the upcoming Spring catalog called Painted Texture.

Oh So Ombre cards; quick & easy with my 2-cut template!

December 30, 2020
Check out these cute cards made with the upcoming Sale-a-Bration FREE designer paper called 'Oh So Ombre'. I created them on my Stamp with Me FB Live Monday night. I created a template to chop up a piece of designer paper into 4 pieces. See the video below.

Save

It's a pack of 48 sheets in 6 X 6" size with beautiful colors & patterns with a gradual color change. One side is smooth and the other features the fun dots.

You'll be able to earn this paper pack FREE with a $50 order during our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion. It starts in just 6 days and runs from January 5th – February 28th, 2021.

I made these 3 cards with the Dandy Garden Designer Paper (another sneak peak; from the 2021 Spring Catalog) with my template seen below.

Save

Start out with a piece of double sided Designer Paper measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it into 4 pieces using the template below. Then, mix & match your pieces on a 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

Tips:
- This is easiest if you use patterns without a direction on them; such as flowers that grow up from the bottom or words.
- Choose one pack of DSP that coordinates well and cut 2-3 pieces in a variety of patterns. It's fun to mix & match them.
