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!

Each day this week I'm sharing the Fun Fold card swaps made by my incredibly talented Flowerbug's! We hold a card swap every month and many opt in to participate. See the others here and here.

First up is Annette's Kite Fold card!

Save

I know many of you will want to know how to make it so I searched and found this template at Beccy's Place. She has a tutorial for it here. Her card is a full sized card where Annette's was placed on a layer of her card. So the finished size may be different.

Save

Annette adhered her kite to a base card of Blueberry Bushel at 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and White at 5 1/4" X 4" . She also added a velcro closure to keep the card closed securely.

Save

I think the tail of ribbon and twine finish it off like a kit perfectly!

Karen made this adorable card with the Follow Your Art suite of products seen here! I believe almost all of the products in this suite are retiring with many on sale; the stamps & dies, the designer paper (on sale for just $4.60 now!), the embellishment kit and the embossing folder too. It's such a fun group of products; great for crafters!

The Follow Your Art embellishment kit comes with lots of fun accents including these stitched felt pieces! Its on sale right now on the Last Chance list here.

3 quick cards from a 6 X 6″ template! Video too!

May 18, 2020

In case you missed it I've uploaded the video for my easy template for 6 X 6" designer paper to make three cards quickly! I also have a project sheet that includes the template, directions, additional measurements and more.

Save

You can use any piece of 6 X 6" designer paper you'd like! Let the colors in your paper help you decide on the card bases and accent colors and embellishments. It's really fun to make cards when you have this easy guide.

Save

As you can see, depending on your designer paper, colors and orientation the cards don't look the same!
