Discover the elegant Tuck & Reveal fun fold with two hidden pop-ups inside.
I’m calling this design the Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Card because the front panel tucks behind the tall pop-up pillar, creating a beautifully hidden moment inside. When the card opens, two interior pop-ups are revealed — a delightful double surprise — and the finished card stands beautifully for display while still folding flat for mailing. It’s an elegant design that comes together easily and adapts well to so many different styles and themes.
In this post, I’m sharing a step-by-step video tutorial showing how to create the Tuck & Reveal card base, along with photos of a variety of unique versions to spark your creativity! If you’d like a printable document with all of the measurements and detailed step-by-step instructions and photos for ALL the designs shown below, you can purchase the full PDF tutorial. It’s a complete guide designed to help you confidently recreate each project at home.
As always, thank you for making and sending handmade cards — you truly are making the world a kinder place, one card at a time.
Five unique versions of Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Cards!
The Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold takes on a whole new look with each version —let’s look at all of them up close!
Brushed With Beauty Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Card
When the card is closed, tuck the left panel under the rectangular pop-up so that it keeps everything hidden inside!
Customers who placed a $50 order in my online store in October received a packet in the mail to make one of these Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Cards. These cards were created with various patterns of the gorgeous Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. ANY of the floral patterns in this paper work beautifully on this style of fun fold card! I paired it with the Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder for added texture, Gold Foil paper for a touch of elegance, and the Words of Beauty bundle for the sentiment and label on the front!
Then when the left panel is untucked…
The card opens to reveal the double pop-up surprise inside! The small square inside can be decorated with a die cut image, as I have done here, or it is the perfect place for a greeting – as you will see on some of the other versions!
The card makes a beautiful display with the double pop ups. Sign the card right under the small pop up. You can write a longer message on a decorative rectangle cut with the Textured Notes dies. You can tuck it in the envelope with the card, or adhere it to the back of the card.
The card easily flattens to slide into a standard envelope. Finished size for all the Tuck & Reveal fun fold cards is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and they all fit in a standard A2 Envelope.
As I mentioned above, any of the florals from the Brushed With Beauty Designer Series paper look great on this card! Above and below are just two more great options from the package!
Elegant Pine Snowflakes Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Card
This lovely holiday card features the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper paired with the Delicate Pines Bundle – simply gorgeous! On the front of the card, the metallic gold label (from the Nested Essential dies) adds extra elegance – and the Faceted Snowflake embellishments add a bit of Christmas sparkle. I walk you through how to make it in the Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Card Tutorial, with detailed instructions, step-by-step photos, measurements, and all the different card designs shown in this blog post.
The lovely embossing folder inside the card is the Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder and the inside sentiment is from the Wishing You Joy stamp set.
In this top down view you can see the magic of the double pop-ups! There is a panel on the back of this one to write your Christmas message.
The delicate branches are stamped and die cut with the Delicate Pines bundle, and the pinecones are die cut right out of the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper!
Are you ready to see more Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Cards? This adorable version was created with the Festive Friends bundle!
So cute!! I just love these images in the Festive Friends bundle!! The coloring of the snowman and the paper choice were inspired by a treat holder gift I received from Jay Soriano with Mitosu Crafts – thank you for the inspiration Jay! The Soft Sea 3D Embossing Folder gives a blustery blizzard feel to the card and the Elegant Snowflake embellishments add sparkle.
The pretty paper is the Secret Sea pattern from the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper. I stamped the snowflakes in white ink, which adds a bit of wintery elegance. And the Secret Sea die cut snowflakes inside were cut from the Peaceful Garden Glimmer paper to make the inside extra pretty!
This cute snowman version of the Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold is colored with Stampin’ Blends markers—and they’re part of the Black Friday Sale through December 1 (while supplies last). This is a great time to stock up on your favorite Stampin’ Up! colors, fill in any gaps, or replace ones that are drying out.
For this little cutie, I used a combination of Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blends – I walk you through the coloring process step-by-step in the PDF Tutorial.
The double pop-ups really highlight the dimensional look of this fold when it’s standing for display – such a wow!
Baby Bunny Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Card featuring the Easter Joy Suite!
Sneak peek at new products — SO adorable!! This cute card would be perfect to send to a baby or child! One of the perks of being a demonstrator is getting to order new products early, like this darling Easter Joy suite coming in the January – April Mini Catalog (available to order on January 6th or you can purchase it in the starter kit now).
The greetings and banners are from the Banner Sayings punch bundle (available now!), and they were just perfect for this project. Because it’s a punch bundle, the sentiments are super quick and easy to use — and the bundle includes a wonderful variety of greetings and 3 banner shapes, making it simple to customize for many different occasions.
The little chick was too perfect – it looks like it’s ready to hug!
The front of the card really showcases another sneak peek – the All In A Row Embossing Folder also coming out in the January – April Mini Catalog!
Lovely Blossoms Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold Card
For this elegant version of the Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold, I added a ribbon closure, which brings extra elegance and helps keep the card a bit flatter when it’s closed. This card features a sneak peek of the upcoming Lovely Blossoms Suite, available beginning January 6th, 2026—or you can add it to your Starter Kit right now. The ribbon is part of the suite and is called Cloud Cover Textured Ribbon—it has a lovely, almost pebbled texture in person! And how amazing is that Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder??
The colors in the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper are absolutely beautiful and work perfectly with this fold.
I used one of the Moody Palette Glossy Dots embellishments (also in the Suite of products) in the center of the flower. And two of the white ones to the left of the flower. Every step is meticulously explained in the PDF tutorial!
The Tuck & Reveal Fun Fold adapts beautifully to any style—from cute to elegant—and each sample showcases the clever tucked front and double pop-up reveal inside. In the free video tutorial below, I share how to create the basic Tuck & Reveal card base and assemble the mechanism. If you’d like the full, step-by-step guide for making the card base and all five alternate versions, the PDF tutorial goes into exceptional detail with 19 pages of step-by-step photos and instructions to walk you through every step. Thank you for your excitement as I finished this tutorial—it’s been a true labor of love, and I’m grateful that this fold has already creatively inspired so many of you!
