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!

Ornate Garden; simply done

April 3, 2020

Today I have another card featuring the new Ornate Garden products; the new early release from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog. You can see all of it here.

For this card I chose to use the Ornate Border dies for the pretty edge. The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks set and the embossed daisy is from the Ornate Style stamp set.

Save

You might see a little halo around the right daisy…. I first stamped it in Terracotta Tile, but it didn't show up well enough. So I tried to stamp again to heat emboss it in White. I was off a bit but I'm okay with it anyway. The stitched oval is a die from the Stitched Shapes dies.

I made a bunch of these for a swap last month; it's a pretty easy card with just a few special 'extras'.

Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live

April 2, 2020
Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic. I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years! We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.

Save

We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products! You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead. It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards.

- Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one on the diagonal in half. For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left.
- Good Morning Magnolia stamp set
Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories)
- Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
- Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
- one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2")
