Hi Stamper! Welcome back to Creative Creases Challenge #108. This challenge is all about fun fold cards, and I couldn’t wait to share my latest project with you. Today I’m featuring a Hidden Door Thank You Card made with the Impressions Abloom Bundle. At first glance, it looks like a pretty basket of flowers on the front, but once you open it up, there’s a surprise hidden door inside for an extra special message.

My Hidden Door Thank You Card begins with a Garden Green card base. The front is layered with Basic White cardstock, which I dry embossed to add subtle texture. On top of that, I created a basket using the ovals from the Impressions Abloom Dies. Both ovals were cut from Country Woods Designer Series Paper—I kept the outline of one oval and cut the other in half to form the basket shape. To fill the basket, I stamped and die cut colorful flowers and leaves from the Impressions Abloom stamp set and dies and arranged them in a cheerful display.

From the outside, this Hidden Door Thank You Card looks like a traditional handmade thank you card, but the real magic is inside. When the recipient opens it, a hidden door mechanism is revealed—swinging open to showcase a thank you sentiment that was tucked away from view. The inside of the card is lined with Basic White cardstock on both panels, with a pocket on the right-hand side decorated in Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper. (This pocket is where the hidden door part of the card tucks in.) To tie it all together, I added a coordinating strip of the same DSP to the left panel. The hidden door piece itself is made from Garden Green cardstock, layered with more of the Impressions Abloom DSP, making it blend beautifully with the rest of the design.

I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial below so you can learn exactly how to make this Hidden Door Thank You Card. Once you try this technique, you’ll see how versatile it is—switch out the Designer Series Paper, try new stamp sets, or change the colors to make it work for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion.
