Fun Fold Blog Hop

July 22, 2025

Welcome to the Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Fun Folds Blog Hop. There’s a lineup below to make it easy for you to hop along and see everyone’s creations.

This month I used the beautiful Kintsugi Inspirations DSP, stamp and dies. If you don’t know what Kintsugi is here is what AI on Google says about it. “Also known as kintsukuroi, it is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. This is done by mending the cracks with lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum.”

It is a ancient art form. The DSP in this suite is amazing.

My card is a shadow box fun fold. It starts with a standard card 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″. To the front of the card I added a piece of DSP that measures 4″ x 5-1/2″. I cut another piece of the same cardstock at 5-1/2″ x 6-1/4″. and scored at 1/2″ and 1″ from the left and right on the 6-1/4″ side. Folded and burnished the score lines. Using the largest Sentimental Framing dies I cut out a frame on matching cardstock. With the smaller frame, I then centered and cut a rectangle, for a window. Then I centered the frame on the 5-1/2″ x 6-1/4″ front.

After that I adhered the furthest fold, using glue, to the card front. (be sure to check that you have the card base orientated correctly.)

I used Tear n Tape on both ends of a piece of 1/2″ x 3-7/8″ window sheet. I centered the piece behind the opening. This is where I placed my sentiment.

I fussy cut a bowl and a vase from the DSP, and adhered using dimensionals. I cut the floral piece, in white cardstock, using the die from the set. I then placed it in the tall vase, using glue.

I used the gold Floral Accents embellishments. On the inside of the card, I adhered a piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ white cardstock. Add a sentiment as desired.

I hope you like this version of a shadow box.
