Easy Pocket Fun Fold Card – Simply Out of This World 🌙✨

Last night on my live I shared this easy pocket fun fold card inspired by Sunny Day Stamping, and I promised you all the details! This card is so simple to create but still gives you that extra wow when the recipient pulls out the hidden insert.

Three handmade birthday cards featuring a space theme. Each card has a yellow and blue color scheme with text that says 'You're Out of This World.' One card includes an astronaut illustration, while another features the phrase '3-2-1 Blast off!' Various design elements like stars and moons are incorporated.

For my cards I used the brand new Moon and Back Stamp Set (#167531) coming in March — and it is absolutely adorable. 🌙 It pairs perfectly with this interactive design.

How to Create the Pocket Fun Fold

This design is very versatile. You can create it horizontal or vertical — I did one of each!

  1. Choose your direction (horizontal or vertical).
  2. Decide how much you want your pull-out insert to peek over the top. You can either fold it down or cut it off.
    • I cut off 1″ on my horizontal card.
    • I cut off 1-1/2″ on my vertical card.
  3. Use adhesive to seal the sides (I used Tear & Tape) or simply wrap a ribbon or belly band around the card.
  4. Pick a circle shape for your focal point.

The card is accompanied by a colorful envelope with blue, red, and yellow sections, decorated with illustrations of planets and space themes.

Now here’s the fun part 👇

Before you fully close your pocket, punch or die cut a matching circle on the card base directly behind where your focal circle will sit. This allows your focal image to actually attach to the pull-out insert instead of the card front.

When attaching your focal circle to the pull-out piece, use Stampin’ Dimensionals so it sits slightly raised above the paper. This not only adds dimension and extra WOW, but it also makes the insert easier to slide in and out — and easier for the recipient to grab ahold of.

Such a simple trick — but it makes a big difference in both the design and functionality and t it creates that magical interactive element when the card is opened!

Adding Even More WOW

On my vertical card, I stepped it up by adding a handmade rosette behind the circle focal point. It adds dimension and really makes the design pop. This is quick any easy to do using the simply scored tool. I walk you through it in the video.

This fun fold truly is out of this world — and perfect for birthdays, kids’ cards, encouragement, and more.
