Some cards are just fun to open — and this one is double the surprise!
​
This week’s fun fold features a flip-up and flip-out card design that’s quick, easy, and wow. The small front flap lifts up, and then an angled panel flips out to reveal an inside layer for your personal message.

Whether you’re crafting for Christmas or sending a thank-you card, this fold is versatile and so much fun to make. I’ve got four sample cards to inspire you, each showing how you can customize this design for any season or style.

Christmas Greenery Card Supply List

Christmas Greenery Flip-Up and Flip-Out Card

The first card keeps things classic with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler - the perfect Christmas combo!

I used the Christmas Greenery and Traditional Labels stamp sets and dies, paired with the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper. Since that DSP has been so popular (and was out of stock for a bit - it’s back now!), I mixed in some Gathering Together foil-accented paper for extra shine.
​
The layered patterns and small holly leaves add depth, while the Traditional Labels sentiment ties it all together.

Jolly Holly Flip-Up and Flip-Out Card

For this cheerful design, I used the Jolly Holly bundle with the Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper. The mix of Garden Green, Real Red, and Soft Sea Foam creates a fresh, fun Christmas palette.
​
I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green on Soft Sea Foam and die-cut it with the coordinating dies for a clean, layered finish. The bold patterned paper and simple “joy” greeting make this one feel classic yet playful - a true “quick, easy, wow” holiday card!

Modern Christmas Flip-Up and Flip-Out Card

If you love sleek and stylish, this one’s for you! I went black, white, and gold with the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper. The gold accents shine even more with a die-cut star from the Swirled Designs dies in Gold Foil.
​
For the sentiment, I heat-embossed “Joy” from Keeping Traditions in gold on black cardstock cut with the Stylish Shapes dies - simple, but elegant!

Gallery Blooms Flip-Up and Flip-Out Card

To round things out, here’s a soft and serene version perfect for fall or winter thank-you cards.

I used the Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs bundles with the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper in Secret Sea and Basic Beige.
​
The angled fold gives this card a layered, dimensional look that highlights the delicate floral design. It’s a lovely transition piece between fall and winter - and a great sneak peek of what’s coming in next month’s Online Card Class featuring Gallery Blooms!
