 Brighten someone’s day with this cheerful Double Panel Pop-Up Gatefold Card featuring sunny sunflower papers from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine. Complete with a matching belly band, this fun-fold card is perfect for birthdays and other special occasions. Watch the full step-by-step tutorial to see exactly how it’s made.

 For Day 5 of the #FlowerCraftFest, I’ve created a vibrant Double Panel Pop-Up Gatefold Card that’s sure to make the recipient smile! I’ve used the gorgeous sunflower paper collection from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine, pairing bold floral patterns with gold accents for an elegant finish. The card features a clever pop-up mechanism hidden inside a gatefold design, giving it both surprise and dimension. A coordinating belly band keeps everything neatly closed and adds an extra decorative touch. This style works beautifully for birthdays, but it can easily be adapted for other occasions simply by switching up the papers and sentiment. You can follow along with my full video tutorial where I guide you through each step—covering everything from scoring and folding to layering and embellishing. It’s easier than it looks, and the results are stunning!
