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!

Friends for Life cards; a quick layout you’ll love. Check out the free project sheet & video too

July 2, 2024

Today I'm sharing an eye-catching card made with the Friends for Life bundle. I think they're fabulous if I do say so myself!

Save

They feature the Friends for Life bundle seen here. I also used two more favorites – the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder. *Click on each title to see them in my store.

The unique Designer paper is the Full of Life 6 X 6" paper seen here. I love it so much; it includes bright bursts of colorful patterns filled with watercolor type prints. *my free tutorial of the month features this suite! See below.

Save

The measurements are so simple. I cut the 6" DSP down to 5 1/4" X 6" and then cut that into two pieces – one for each card. I then textured it with the Dotted 3D embossing folder and added it to a narrow strip of coordinating card stock on the left side.

All that's left is to add the layered circles and friend die-cut.

I matched the DSP with coordinating card stock. The card above is Night of Navy and this card below is Shaded Spruce.
