Make a Statement with This Pop Out Z Fold Card
Hi friends! Today I’m excited to share a tutorial for a gorgeous Pop Out Z Fold card featuring the Stampin’ Up! Expressions in Kindness Kit. I love how this project blends rich color with interactive design. With Blackberry Bliss, Gold Foil, and a touch of heat embossing, this floral card truly turns heads—and it’s easier to make than it looks!
This project is a great way to repurpose pieces from your kit and stretch your crafting supplies even further. Whether you’re brand new to card making or a seasoned paper crafter, you’ll enjoy the playful dimension and elegance this fold brings.
Why You’ll Love This Card
Here’s why this Pop Out Z Fold card deserves a spot in your next crafting session:
Interactive Design – The pop-out mechanism adds movement and a “wow” factor that’s sure to delight.
Adaptable for Any Occasion – While I kept my design general with a gold-embossed sentiment, this card would be stunning for Valentine’s Day, weddings, anniversaries, or any heartfelt celebration.
Mailing Friendly – It folds down to fit into a standard-sized Stampin’ Up! medium envelope. Just keep in mind that if your finished card has lots of layers or embellishments, you may want to check postage requirements at your local post office.
What I Used
I crafted this card using repurposed elements from the Expressions in Kind Kit, which includes a lovely floral stamp set and pre-printed elements. The Blackberry Bliss and Gold Foil combo really brings out the elegance, and the gold embossed sentiment adds that extra sparkle.

I love this gorgeous fun-fold card! Thanks for the great tutorial and video. I can’t wait to make it. Enjoy your day!
Is the base for the card 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 or 8 1/2?
8-1/2 – sorry about that.
I thought so. Thank you Tami.
