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!

CUTE Pillowbox ‘treat box’ you’ll love!

September 21, 2022
I made this cute box using the Pretty Pillow Box dies. Does it look like a pumpkin to you?

Save

It does use the Pretty Pillow box dies for the flat shape of the front of this box, but the box itself is made from a piece of card stock (see measurements below). I found this idea from fellow demonstrator Lynda Emerson. As usual I changed it up a bit from hers.

Products used:

Crumb Cake card stock, He’s the Man DSP, strips of Mossy Meadow for apple die trim & for the leaves die-cuts, Pretty Pillow Box dies seen here, Stylish Shapes (for the circle die-cut), Penned Flower & Apple Blossom dies, Stripes & Spatters EF, Linen Thread for the bow, Simply Scored Scoring tool

The inside of the box would hold quite a few treats; it's a good size!

Save

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake 5 ¼” X 7 ¼” scored at 2" on all 4 sides, plus two die-cut pillow box pieces
- He’s the Man DSP 2 ¼” X 4 ½”
Here is what the Pretty Pillow box dies look like:

Here are all of the projects I made. The other two cards feature the Hello Harvest bundle.

Use the stamp in a new way on this card! Hello Harvest projects

September 20, 2022
Here's a pretty card I shared on last week's FB live video; it features the Hello Harvest bundle.

Save

I cased the idea from my friend Dawn Olchefske; changing it up a bit. The main floral image is stamped twice (once upside down) and the greeting covers where they meet. You can see this image in the stamp set below.

It might look like there's an entire strip of designer paper under the main card layers. But it's just a few small pieces of the Rustic Harvest DSP at the top & bottom of the Vanilla card. Check out the Hello Harvest bundle here.

Save

I colored the floral image in with Blends markers in Daffodil, Fresh Freesia, Light Old Olive and Calypso Coral. I also added a bit of color to the pretty greeting banner.

Measurements are:
- Vanilla 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 3 ½” X 4 ½” & scrap for greeting
- Espresso 3 5/8” X 4 5/8”
- DSP is 1” X 2 ¼”

Unique Hello Harvest Fun Fold card with measurements!

September 19, 2022
I played with the Hello Harvest bundle on last week's FB Live video and this is one of the cards I made.

Save

It's a unique fun fold that's quite easy. It's inspired by my friend Susie Wood. Check out her blog here; she does tons of fun fold cards! I know you'll want to try this one!

I made the first card with a Soft Suede card base and then second guessed myself and made the second one in Pumpkin Pie. Which do you prefer?

Save

Almost everything else is the same except the layers around the pumpkins & DSP layers.

Here are the measurements:
- Card base; 4” X 11” scored at 2” X 3 ¾” from each end, & 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- White 3 ½” X 3 ¼”, inside is 3 1/8” X 3 ¾” plus Stylish Shapes greeting die-cut
- Gingham Cottage DSP 3 ¼” X 3” & 2 strips at 1" X 4", Green or pumpkin panel is 3 5/8” X 3 3/8”
