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!

I
had so much fun creating this elegant winter card with a twist on
tradition. I wanted to capture a frosty, luxurious feel—something a
little different from classic Christmas colours.
A
truly special winter wonderland-inspired card with a unique hexagonal
design that adds a modern twist to traditional festive shapes. I used
shiny blue and crisp white poinsettias, paired with delicate silver
Christmas foliage, to evoke an icy, elegant feel. Touches of diamanté
sparkle bring it to life, catching the light beautifully and adding a
frosty, magical finish. Perfect for someone who loves a little winter
luxury!
