NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet

I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card.

I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.

The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

Here's what it look like open:

I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!

Compare these cards; I changed both the front and the inside.

• Cutest Crew card swap

  March 26, 2026

  ---

  Here’s the card I made for our latest Team card swap. What do you think of the color combo?

  Save

  As you can see, I used the Cutest Crew bundle here. I’m a cat owner so I chose the cats. My colors include Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, White and Basic Gray.

  This adorable bundle is in our Online store and was available last week but now the dies are out of stock again. I have a feeling this is how it will be for awhile. We all love our pets! You can see the Cutest Crew bundle here or the stamp set alone here. *Be sure to add your email to the product page so you get notified when it’s back in stock.

  Save

  The largest card base is Crushed Curry and the next layer is Smoky Slate which is the part that opens.

  Save

  I colored in the images with Blends markers. It was fun to color them in cat like patterns.

  Thanks for stopping in today! I hope you like my cards.

• More Team card swaps

  March 25, 2026

  Today I’m sharing the other card swaps my Team members made featuring Online Exclusive products.

  First is Karen’s card made with the Homemade Sweetness suite seen here.

  Save

  It’s a book-binding fold where the left side is adhered together and just the right part opens.

  Check out the embossed layers with the Ladybug Picnic embossing folder. It’s so neat! Unfortunately it’s out of stock right now; but it will be back. If you want it be sure to add your email to the product to be informed when it’s back.

  Next is Candy’s card made with the Cutest Crew stamp set seen here. She wanted to use the dies but they were out of stock. They came back for two days and are now out of stock again! Popular set!

  Save

  Her colors are stunning! Bubble Bath with Smoky Slate and White. She stamped the kittens on the Nested Essentials die-cut and colored them in with Smoky Slate & Bubble Bath Blends markers. The embossing folder is the Hearts of Love embossing folder.

  ~~~

  Here’s Joan’s card featuring the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper.

  Save

  She layered 3 different pieces of this foiled paper with Pretty in Pink before adding her greeting layer on top. Neat layout!

  ~~~

  Lastly is Jess’s card featuring the Lovely Stripes embossing folder seen here.

  Save

  The vertical strips of DSP are from the Made with Love. I like how she alternated the DSP strips with the card stock strips. This is the first swap she joined; she did a great job!

  Her greeting is from the Cutest Crew stamp set.

  That’s it for our March swaps. I hope you are inspired by their creations!

  The swap theme for my Flowerbug’s in March was to use our favorite Online Exclusive product. I’ll be sharing them today and Wednesday this week.

  First is a pretty card made by Jacki featuring the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently in low inventory; they sure have trouble keeping these in stock!

  Save

  She used White with Crumb Cake for a super clean look. The die-cut shape on the textured Sunflower layer is from the Branching Out dies seen here. One of my absolute favorite sets of dies I consider a ‘must have!’

  I also love how she added the wrap of Linen Thread around the greeting layer; simple but so effective!

  ~~~

  Her sister Jonna made this next card. Did they decide to both use the Sunflower 3D folder?!

  Save

  Her card is all Vanilla. Another clean & simple card; both are so elegant! I find when you use mostly one neutral color the card feels quite sophisticated. The greetings on both cards are from the recently retired Branching Out stamp set.

  ~~~

  Next is a pretty card from Kim.

  Save

  She used the pretty Floral Charm designer paper here with Early Espresso, Bubble Bath & Pecan Pie card stock. This pretty DSP will be on the retiring list in the next week or so. The beautiful leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony dies seen here. They are out of stock currently but they’ll be back! The greeting punch is our Heartfelt Hexagon punch seen here. I love this punch!

  Tomorrow I’ll share lots more of the fabulous swap cards made by my Team.
