A Vertizontal Fun Fold Pocket Card with Hobby Haven

January 4, 2026January 5, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Are you ready for a new Mystery Stampin’ Challenge this week? I hope so! Before I get to your first clue I want to share another version of the Vertizontal Fun Fold card. Here’s a look back at the Vertizontal Pocket Cards from a previous Mystery Stampin’ Challenge.

(*You can click on the images above to view the original posts.)
If you are wondering about the name of this fun fold, the “Vertizontal” Pocket Card (created by Robin Ambrecht) is a vertical square pocket card plus a horizontal layer. This pocket card design is perfect for giving gift cards (or cash) for any occasion.

One of the fun things about mystery stamping is there is no right or wrong way. It’s ok to “go rogue” and change it up a bit. I decided to create the Vertizontal Pocket Card using Designer Series Paper. The process works the same way and adds some 2-sided patterned fun!

I used one of the patterns from the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper.

Bring your favorite pastimes to life with the Hobby Haven 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. Charming illustrations inspired by baking, sewing, reading, and other simple pleasures make this paper perfect for creating personalized cards and gift packaging. Two sheets of precut pieces and plenty of fussy cutting potential make it easy to add depth and detail to your handmade designs.

My daughter and so many of my friends are avid readers so this DSP card is perfect to enclose a Barnes & Noble gift card for a birthday or thank you card. *This would be a great card/gift for a teacher too!

The “true story” and “relax & enjoy” sentiments are perfect for this “novel” DSP! Both are from the Notes & Totes Stamp Set. (*This is a fun bundle!!!)

Welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas-Day 1! I am so excited to bring you 12 days of fun Christmas projects that will hopefully inspire you! Today I am sharing a pop up fun fold gift card holder using the Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Stampin' Up! Jolly Holly fun fold pop up gift card holder with Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Capture the magic of Christmas with our Jolly Holly Hybrid Embossing Folder. This versatile product lets you create a textured background of holly leaves and berries, along with partial pop-up leaves that add a delightful dimension to your Christmas cards, gift tags, and more.

Reasons I love HYBRID EMBOSSING FOLDERS …
– Easily make great impressions!
– Include dies that fit inside special ridges in the embossing folder for one-step cutouts with dimension.
– Can be used separately or together for a variety of looks and styles.
– To use, place flat cardstock in the embossing folder and run it through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Out comes cardstock with a bold, textured design.

I added some Pearlized Enamel Effects in Real Red to the berries and gently folded some of the holly leaves to tuck in the sentiment layer. The stitched rectangle dies and more (including a joy word die) are included in the set.

This card can be horizontal or vertical depending on the orientation of your sentiment.

I used the coordinating Jolly Holly stamp set for both of the sentiments used on my cards. There are many choices to mix and match!

Holly—with its cheerful red berries and vibrant green leaves—signals the arrival of Christmas. Capture that same festive spirit with our Jolly Holly Stamp Set! This vibrant set features classic holiday symbols like bells, holly, and berries paired with heartwarming holiday sentiments.

There’s still time to get this set before the holidays and create some fun cards, tags, etc. You can Bundle & Save 10%!
