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!

What do you think? I know some people aren't into bamboo or this Asian style but it's so my style! I call this type of set a 'scene builder' which inspires me to use techniques to create unique backgrounds.

I'm focusing on this card today. The colors are Misty Moonlight, Black & White with a touch of purple. I used Fresh Freesia on the upper left card and Highland Heather on the right. I used our Blending Brushes for the background, black twine from the Essentials pack and a greeting label from the Messages die.

Here's the video; click on the image below to watch it.

I'll share details on the other bamboo card soon. *See details on the yellow card here.
