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!
