April 2026-Stampin’ Up Demos Blog Hop

Welcome to the Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrators Blog Hop.

So glad you could join us! If you are looking to try a different fun fold, we have them here.

My card this month was CASed from Tami White, using the Capturing Smiles Stamp Set. I just love this card. So many Stampin’ Up papers would be perfect for this card. I used Delicate Dreams DSP. This card appears larger, but it’s A2 size. Because the card has so much going on in front, I placed a piece of Basic White on the center back for a sentiment and message.

Please be sure to visit the other demonstrators who contributed to this Blog Hop. See what else might inspire you to give it a try. You’ll find the list below.

This card lays flat for mailing.

But expands into a beautiful, fun card.

I hope our cards inspire you to try something new.

Welcome to the March Blog Hop! Thanks for stopping by.

This month I created a card that was created by Wandering Stamper. I used her card base design and created my card from that. It is a Faux Step card slightly altered. She calls it a floating step card.

I used Sweet Bugs DSP. It has a pull-out for your sentiment and message.

I hope you like it and make one.

March 2026-Fun/Fancy Fold Blog Hop

Welcome to our Blog Hop! Glad you made it! After you check out my card, scroll down to see the other artisan’s fun fold cards.

I CASEd this card from Simply Stamping. This card is a “Flip Flop” card.

I used Floral Impressions DSP (retired) and fussy cut flowers from other pieces of that DSP. I used a sentiment from Fabulous Sayings (retired). It can be made with any beautiful Stampin’ Up DSP.

This photo below is the measurements and scoring needed for this card from Melissa’s Crafting Treehouse.

It was a very fun card to make. I used DSP while Marie uses card stock.

February 24, 2026

Hello and welcome to our February Blog Hop.

Please take the time to visit all the artisans listed below. You will find so many amazing fun fold cards.

This month I just had to use the Delicate Dreams DSP. I love this paper, the colors are so beautiful. For the first time I made a window fold card. I got inspiration from Tarabeth Stamps’ card on Pinterest.

I used Gray Granite, Basic White and Boho Blue card stock. In the DSP there are bronze highlights sprinkled in. So I added a bronze metallic layer under the DSP on the front. The window was cut using the Textured Notes dies. I used Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio for embellishments. The Petals of Beauty flowers, stamped on the front frame, were stamped with VersaMark . I chose to use the “hello” sentiment from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set.

I really enjoyed making this new style of fun fold (for me) and using the beautiful Delicate Dreams DSP. I hope you give it a try.

Fun/Fancy Fold Blog Hop-February 2025

Welcome to our monthly Blog Hop. Thank you for joining us!

I created a fun fold card that I’m sure you have seen before. But with this one, I used Creative Haven. I used some of the pop-outs and did some fussy cutting to decorate the flap. This was very fun to do, choosing the pieces I wanted to use amoungst all the choices available.

This card can have so many themes. Sewing, books, aroma therapy just to name a few. Take another look at this fun paper and see what you can do.
