In today’s fun fold Friday, I’m creating a pop out fold card with a center panel design — a technique that works beautifully for any occasion, not just Christmas! I used the Words of Cheer stamp set and Whimsy & Wonder designer paper, but this is a fantastic technique to make your own with whatever stamps and paper you have on hand.
Note: Some products shown may be retired or no longer available — the pop out fold card technique below will work with any coordinating stamps and paper you already have in your stash!
