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!

Delicate Lace Edgelits; marked down & on sale!

May 7, 2020

I am shocked at the price of the Delicate Lace Edgelit dies on the Last Chance list. They are marked down from $29 to $11.60 right now. I've used them a ton; in fact one of our Club cards features them this month.

Here are some examples of how amazing these edgelit dies are.

**This stamp set and floral dies are retired – just look at the edglit!

You might wonder about the card above. It was made at one of my Technique classes. The tissue paper was colored with Pigment Sprinkles, dried and adhered loosely to card stock. Then swipe Versamark over it and heat emboss with Gold powder.

Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards

May 6, 2020

I made another group of cards using the Double Wonder template. These are so quick and easy to make and the measuring sure isn't much when you consider it makes 11 cards!

You start out with two pieces of 6" X 12" designer series paper. It does need to be double sided.

Download the template & directions here. Download Double Wonder cards & template

I chose to use the Follow your Art designer paper. It will be perfect for all of my crafty friends and customers. Did you know it's on sale right now? It's just $4.60 instead of $11.50 right now? It's on the Last Chance list here. There are so many amazing deals right now!

I'll show you each set of cards separately. First up is Layout 1. It's fun to mix and match the pieces of designer paper cut from the template. With double sided paper you get quite a few options.

Save

Next is Layout 2 using two 1" strips of DSP on each card. You can jazz them up as much as you want; I kept them fairly simple using punches and die-cuts in my scraps.

Save

Lastly is Layout 3 and the bonus card on the right.

Save

I used the Crafting Forever stamp set (retiring) and just a few colors of ink; Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry for sponging. I did use the Crushed Curry ribbon on many of these cards and the Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins. They are both on sale too!

Don't miss out on the amazing deals; get them while you can. Click here. I doubt we'll have many things on sale for awhile….

Country Club Designer Paper; make a card with NO stamping!

May 5, 2020

I have some friends who are seriously into golfing! They golf almost daily in Arizona. So I knew I had to send her some cards made with this Country Club designer series paper.

Once I had it in hand I realized that one whole sheet has golf images on it! In fact you can get 12 cards from one sheet! Look!

Save

I cut the image to 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" and colored it in with Blends markers. Just like a coloring book! Next I added a layer of card stock to it. Then added it to a piece of the Country Club designer paper along with a 1 1/4" strip of card stock. Easy peasy!

Save

See the Country Club suite of products here online. It looks like all of these items are retiring including this designer paper and twine!
