Gatefold Double Floating Pop-Out Card—a showstopper fold that looks intricate but is easier than you think (yes, really!). We’re kicking off this week with this wow-worthy technique. I featured this fancy fold during my latest YouTube Live. It was the perfect canvas to show off a few of the brand-new 2025–2027 In Colors. This card bursts with color, dimension, and just the right amount of “look what I made!” energy. If you missed the live, don’t worry. I’ve added the replay video below so you can follow along and make one yourself.
Our NEW 2025-2026 Annual Catalog went live yesterday! If you’re anything like me, the first week of a brand-new catalog launch feels a bit like Christmas morning. Minus the pine needles and plus a whole lot of ink! We also released NEW Online Exclusive products yesterday. Between cheering Dave on as he heals and playing with new stamps, it’s been a wild and wonderful week in the HapBEE Stamping Studio.
Gatefold Double Floating Pop-Out Card: A Fresh Twist with In-Colors
With the new Impressions of Abloom Bundle leading the way, this design combines bold color and unexpected movement. This bunlde is one of the many NEW Online Exclusive products just released! When you open the card, the double pop-out feature creates a floating effect. These are ideal for adding stamped sentiments or floral accents that “leap” off the page.
I paired the Strawberry Slush card base with soft, spring-ready hues. I like how Fresh Freesia and Darling Daffodil add warmth and charm. A few Garden Green leaves ground the florals and balance the color palette. Whether you’re sending birthday wishes or just a cheerful thank you, this card delivers both fun and flair.
