About This Fun Fold Card
Okay, friends, this one made me a little giddy. There’s just something about a card that does something — and this Pull Tab Flip Card is basically a mini magic trick disguised as a handmade card. You pull the tab, the front panel flips open, and boom — a whole new message appears underneath. It’s the kind of card that makes the recipient go “wait, how did you DO that?” (Spoiler: it’s easier than it looks, and I’ll show you exactly how in the instructions section below.)
A Pull Tab Flip Card
This little cutie features the sweetest penguin from the Stampin’ Up! Wild Bunch Stamp Set, all snuggled up against a moody, icy blue background made with the Balmy Blue Stampin’ Pad and some fun blending techniques. On the front, you’ve got a simple “Just a Little Note” sentiment paired with a couple of pop-of-red hearts, and then — pull the tab — and “Sending Love” appears on the inside layer like it’s been there waiting the whole time.
Fold cards can feel intimidating for new card makers, but I promise this one is more about patience with your scoring lines than any fancy skill. Once you get the hang of the pull-tab mechanism, you’ll want to make a dozen of these for every occasion under the sun: sympathy notes, thinking-of-you cards, birthdays, “just because” mail, or even a sweet note tucked into a care package. It’s interactive, it’s a little unexpected, and honestly? It’s just plain fun to make.
Product of the Month: Don’t Sleep on This One
Here’s the scoop for those of you who might be newer around here: every month, Stampin’ Up! features a Product of the Month — a stamp set, bundle, or product available at a special price for that month only. The Wild Bunch Stamp Set (the one starring our penguin friend above) was June’s featured product, and let me tell you, it did NOT last the whole month. It sold out early, and I had more than a few customers reach out sad they’d missed it. So consider this your friendly heads-up: when a Product of the Month catches your eye, don’t wait around!
Right now, the spotlight is on the gorgeous Begonia Belle Stamp Set — and it’s calling your name if you love florals with a little whimsy. As always, when you purchase the Product of the Month through me, you get access to my exclusive free tutorials featuring that month’s product, so you’re not just getting a pretty stamp set, you’re getting projects to go with it. Grab it while it’s here, because as we just learned… these things go fast!
Instructions & Video
I’ve laid out full step-by-step instructions for this card (plus measurements for all your cuts) along with a video from a previous Pull Tab Flip Card that walks you through the fold itself — because let’s be honest, some things are just easier to see than to read. You’ll find all of that just below this post, so scroll on down and get your trimmer ready!

Whether you’re a longtime card maker or you just picked up your first paper trimmer last week, I hope this Pull Tab Flip Card gives you that little spark of “ooh, I want to try that!” Card making doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be made with love (and maybe a little bit of adhesive on your fingers, we’ve all been there).
