Day 1 – Holiday Break Fun Fold Craft Along

Welcome to Day 1 of the Holiday Break Fun Fold Craft Along! I’m kicking things off with two interactive fun fold cards that both have a little surprise element when you open them. These designs are a great reminder that fun folds don’t have to be complicated to feel special. Today’s cards feature the Pop Up Petals and Friendly Foliage bundles along with the cozy, crafty vibes of the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper.

This vertical fun fold card features a belly band that slides off to reveal a pop-up vase and flowers inside. The Pop Up Petals bundle does all the hard work here, creating that wow moment as soon as the card opens! I paired it with soft, calming colors and subtle patterned paper from the Hobby Haven DSP to keep the focus on the interactive element. The bow and simple sentiment add just enough texture without overwhelming the design.

The second card is a layered gatefold-style fun fold with multiple panels that open up for plenty of space to write a message. The Friendly Foliage bundle adds beautiful die-cut greenery for texture and dimension, while the Hobby Haven DSP ties everything together with coordinating patterns. I love how this card feels full and layered when closed, then opens up to a clean, open center.
