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!

3 completely different cards with the Friendly Hello bundle; WOW!

January 21, 2022
Our Sale-a-Bration promotion is everyone's favorite time of year; who doesn't love to get something free?!

This year our product line includes a stamp set & 12 X 12" designer paper combo called Friendly Hello. I love both the stamps and the DSP. The stamps include floral, botanical and greeting images and the paper can be either soft & pretty or bright & eye catching!

Save

Look at these three extremely different cards all featuring the same stamps & DSP:

Save

This card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I chose to use the Granny Apple Green sheet of DSP and paired it with Black & White. It's a simple layout that really shows off the colors & products.

Details:
- The greeting is stamped onto a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends die.
- That delicate leaf die-cut is from the Tropical Layers dies in the Jan-June catalog.
- The butterfly is from the Catching Butterflies Sale-a-Bration stamp set.
Next is a pretty swap Ginny made but so much softer in colors.

Save

She covered the entire card front with her Designer Paper and added a banner from another sheet of the DSP under the main White scalloped piece. She stamped in Gray Granite and colored in the bird & flowers with Blends markers.

Lastly today is another card I made for a swap. I paired the Pool Party sheet of this Designer Paper with Early Espresso. I've always loved these colors together. I stamped the flowers in Early Espresso ink onto our Vellum card stock and immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Yes you CAN emboss with our Classic ink pads!

Save

I textured the Pool Party card stock with the new Gingham embossing folder and rounded the upper right corner. I also cut our new frayed 3/4" White ribbon in half lengthwise and wrapped it round the left edge of the card stock.

Thanks so much for stopping in to see my projects today! If you want to get this pretty pack of Designer Paper & the Friendly Hello stamp set click here to see it. It's free with any $100 purchase right now!

Pretty Botanical swap cards; all Monochromatic!

January 20, 2022

This week I'm showcasing my talented Flowerbug's Team swaps with their monochromatic cards.

First up is Karen's card; she used the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set; seen here in the new Jan-June catalog.

Save

She stamped the floral image three times on her White CS using Evening Evergreen ink. The last one is stamped on Vellum and fussy cut. She added a double tag die-cut from the Tailored Tags dies along with a bow in Soft Succulent ribbon.

Next is a pretty card in Fresh Freesia made by Paula S. She used a favorite stamp set of mine; the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set, along with some sponging and distressing of the edges.

Save

Our In Color sheer ribbon is wonderful; easy to work with, soft & lovely!

Next is a pretty & very detailed card made by Sharon. She used Soft Succulent with Evening Evergreen and the Ever Eden specialty designer paper.

Save

She created double stitched window frames with the Stitched Rectangle dies. They're adhered over a scalloped rectangle made with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Her leaves are die-cut from our Shimmer In Color Vellum using the Forever Flourishing dies. The greeting is from the Prized Peony stamp set.

Stop in for more Monochromatic card swaps tomorrow!
