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!

November 8, 2021
I do a Live video the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings focusing on using Designer Paper. Many of us hoard it so I'm hoping to inspire you to use it!

We're making these neat fun fold cards on FB live at 7:30 pm CT tonight. Go here to join me.

Or see it here afterwards.

The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up. It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front.

I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. See it here or on page 133.

Other products include:
- Tidings of Christmas bundle (annual catalog pg. 89 or seen here)
- Stitched so Sweetly dies
- Star-crossed embossing folder
- Holiday rhinestones

Measurements
