This Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold Card features a unique six-sided pop-out design and five beautiful variations to inspire your creativity.
I call this design the Honeycomb Pop-Out Card because of the six-sided pop-out section that expands like a honeycomb when the card is opened. A bridge-style base adds stability and creates a stage-like effect, making this fold perfect for displaying. It’s a fun fold that truly wows from every angle!
In this post, I’m sharing a free video tutorial on how to make the Honeycomb Pop-Out card base along with photos of five different designs! For the complete details, you can purchase my full PDF tutorial, which includes cutting and scoring measurements, step-by-step instructions, supply lists, and photos to guide you through every step.
As always, thank you for making and sending handmade cards — you truly are making the world a kinder place, one card at a time.
The Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold takes on a whole new look with each theme—let’s look at the five versions up close!
Gathering Together Honeycomb Pop-Out Card
Customers who placed a $50 order in my online store during August received a packet in the mail to make this Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold Card. This version features the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper, with its subtle plaids, delicate leaves, and champagne foil accents that shimmer beautifully in the light. Paired with the Gathering Leaves 3D Embossing Folder, the Amber Autumn Bundle, and Traditional Labels Dies, it brings all the cozy fall feels together in one card! If you’d like to try this fold yourself, the full PDF tutorial includes all the measurements and step-by-step photos so you can recreate this card, and all the other versions shown in this blog post.
This view shows off the unique structure of the Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold, with its six-sided pop-out center and sturdy base.
With this style of fun fold, the greeting goes on the back of the card—leaving the front as a display piece. By adding a few coordinating patterns from the Gathering Together DSP, the back feels just as elegant as the front!
I love the almost vintage look that the pretty Traditional Labels dies have – and they pair beautifully with the elegant font from the Amber Autumn stamp set!
The card easily flattens to slide into a standard envelope. Finished size for all the Honeycomb Pop-Out cards is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and they all fit in a standard A2 Envelope.
Elegant Pine Snowflakes Honeycomb Pop-Out Card
For this wintery Honeycomb Pop-Out card, I paired the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper with the Delicate Pines Bundle – this card makes me think of walking in a snowy pine forest! The sentiment is stamped on a die cut from the Nested Essentials Dies, accented with pine boughs, pine cones, and shimmering Faceted Snowflakes gems. The background layers are embossed with the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder, and the touch of Shaded Spruce cardstock and ink is the perfect color for this evergreen themed card!
I decorated the back of the card with more of the beautiful Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper and added a sentiment from the Words For The Season stamp set.
The pretty pinecones were stamped in Pecan Pie ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. I love how the Faceted Snowflake gems sparkle! I choose the Shaded Spruce gems for this card, but the pack also has Cherry Cobbler and Clear Faceted Snowflakes.
Are you ready to see more Honeycomb Pop-Out Cards? Here is a masculine birthday card with the Branching Out bundle!
This Honeycomb Pop-Out design also works beautifully as a masculine card—here I used the Branching Out Bundle with Gray Granite, Old Olive, and Early Espresso inks. This amazing bundle comes with a whole set of versatile nesting label dies, I used the two smallest for this card. The pine branches and cones make it a perfect birthday card for the outdoorsy or nature-loving guys in your life—but it could just as easily work for seasonal cards or other occasions. The neutral “B side” patterns from the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper are the perfect masculine accent.
On the back of the card I added a few more pine needle clusters and another pinecone, along with the bold stripe pattern from the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper.
In this close-up photo, you can see that I stamped each pine needle cluster twice—slightly offset and without re-inking. This simple step fills out the branches, softens the look, and makes the pine needles appear fuller. It’s just one of the tips included in the Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold Card Tutorial, where I walk you through every detail with step-by-step photos, measurements, and five different card designs.
All-Occasion Traditions of Christmas Honeycomb Pop-Out Card
The Traditions of Christmas Suite proves that holiday products can go far beyond December! In this Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold Card, the elegant florals and gold foil accents transform it into a design perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or weddings. The Damask Designs Embossing Folder adds rich texture, while the Traditional Labels bundle creates the double ribbon banner and heat-embossed sentiment that really make this card shine. This version really shows how the Honeycomb Pop-Out design can adapt to any theme, and the tutorial makes it easy to recreate with your own favorite papers.
The backside of the cards uses some more of the beautiful Traditional Christmas Designer Series Paper with it’s lovely gold accents. The “Just for You” sentiment is also from the Traditional Labels bundle.
I love the gold accents in the pretty paper – it pairs beautifully with heat embossed images!
Festive Friends Honeycomb Pop-Out Card
How adorable is this Santa from the Festive Friends Bundle?! Santa takes center stage of course, colored with Stampin’ Blends and set against a Forever Plaid 3D Embossed background that adds cozy texture. The Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper brings in festive plaids, while a touch of sparkle from Rhinestones and Wink of Stella on the hat trim finishes the look. This one is pure joy from the moment it comes out of the envelope!
The backside of the card has some more of the cute Christmas Tags & More Designer Series Paper and a happy Christmas message!
In this close up photo you can better see the Wink of Stella Glitter on the hat trim! So darn cute!!
What I love most about the Honeycomb Pop-Out Fun Fold is how versatile it is—this one fold works beautifully for autumn, masculine, whimsical, holiday, and elegant cards alike. Each version looks completely different, yet they all share that unique six-sided pop-out center and stage-style base. In the free video tutorial below, I share the basic card base dimensions and walk you through assembly.
