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!

I shared these amazing guy cards on last week's video. They were on of my April card club projects.

Save

I've shared this fun fold card before but using the Woven Textures and Country Woods DSP put them over the top in my opinion!

Save

The Father's Day greeting is from the Gone Fishing stamp set. The hearts are from the Friends for Life dies.

You can see the inside view of the Father's Day card below. I used the Spring Corners stamp set for accents.

Save

Here's a close-up of the Birthday version. The star dies are from the Wanted to Say dies seen here. Love these! Of course the Nested Essential dies are perfect for the layered greetings here.

Save

Below is the inside of the birthday card. I used the Layered with Love stamp set for the little presents border.

Save

There is a 7 1/2" X 1" scored brace that creates the pop-up effect when the card is opened. Otherwise it lays perfectly flat for mailing and is an A2 size card.

Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

April 18, 2025

Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played? We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!

I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards. These are mine:

Save

Here are each of them below. The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand.

Save

I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

Save

The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath. Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

Save

The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold.

The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

Save

I hope you're encouraged to try making cards using your leftovers.

3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

April 17, 2025

Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month. Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.

Save

You can find each of these kits and many more on this link. Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits. It's a lovely break from thinking and planning. But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

Save

My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit. I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day. What a perfect gift!
