Fancy/Fun Fold Blog Hop

October 2025

Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you like all the cards shared in this blog hop this month. So many beautiful cards you can do yourself. Please be sure to visit all the other global designers below.

My card was made using the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP and dies. The card is called “That-a-Way”. I CASed Tatted Stamper. It was too beautiful not to recreate!

Cut cardstock at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and score at 5-1/2″. Cut from the right scored line to the center of the card (2-1/8″). Then cut from the left score line to the center. Save those pieces we will use them in a bit.

Cut the DSP at 4″ x 5-1/4″. Cut from the right top to the center (2″). Cut from the top left to the center. Save those pieces.

Take the center piece cut from the DSP, center and adhere to the card front. Take the (2) cardstock pieces and carefully lay them touching (wide edges at the bottom). Take a piece of scotch tape and affix them together. Repeat with the (2) DSP pieces with tape on the back. Now center and adhere the DSP to the cardstock.

Center and adhere this unit, with the point facing up, under the card front. Cut a piece of coordinating DSP 3/8″ x 5-3/8″ and apply along the joining line inside (if desired). Add an image, if desired.

Stamp a sentiment on Basic White cardstock cut at 4″ x 5-1/4″. Center and adhere to the inside of the card. Fussy cut or die cut images to add to the card front. Embellish as desired. This card is easy to do and such a wow card.

Thank you for stopping by to see our September 2025 Blog Hop.

This month’s card was a fun one to make. It’s a center Z fold card.

I cut a piece of card stock at 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. Then a second piece at 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and scored it at 1-3/8″ and 2-3/4″ (mountain, valley). A third piece of the same card stock at 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″

Burnish your fold well.

I cut a pieces of Floral Charm DSP at 1-1/2″ x 4-1/8″. I then cut a second piece along the same paper at 2-5/8″ x 4-1/8″. And a third piece was cut at 1-1/2″ x 4-1/8″ to ensure the pattern flows.

Cut one piece of coordinating DSP at 1-1/4″ x 4-1/8″.

Center the (2) 1-1/2″ x 4-1/8″ DSP pieces on the base. Adhere them on the left and right of the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ base.

Center and adhere the 1-1/4″ x 4-1/8″ coordinating DSP on the inside, middle scored area. Center and adhere the 2-5/8″ x 4-1/8″ DSP to the 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ card stock.

Cut a piece of basic white card stock at 2-5/8″ x 4-1/8″. Center and adhere to the last fold of the scored 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card stock.

Center and adhere this unit to the 1st fold section, putting glue only on the left side.

Center and adhere this unit to the center of the 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ base card. This creates a Z on the flat layer.

I die cut a tag. I stamped it and attached fussy cut flowers along the bottom of the die cut.Using dimensionals, adhere to the front panel. I also placed one inside on the white card stock. I embellished it with Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink embellishments.

I hope you like this simple but pretty Z fun fold.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop-September 2025

Welcome, here is the September Blog Hop! The theme this month is using Flip Flaps (interactive page). If you don’t know what Flip Flaps are I will explain. They are clear envelopes. You can attach them to your scrapbook page. This lets you have more photos on a page. This allows me to have 11 photos and a journal section on one scrapbook page. They can be added to the outside of the sleeve. (see photo at the bottom of the post).

I was excited for this challenge as I have some Flip Flaps but have not used them yet. So this forced me to think about how I might use them.

I used a piece of 12″ x 12″ DSP as my base. I took a sheet from Mixed Media Florals. I used coordinating card stock. I cut them to fit the Flip Flaps-3″ x 4″. I adhered 4 of them to the 12″ x 12″ base. I put the page into a sleeve. Then I aligned 4 Flip Flaps directly above the 4 that were glued to the DSP. I punched 4 tabs and adhered them to the Flip Flaps.

I removed the page from the sleeve and added the words using the Mini Alphabet dies in coordinating DSP. I added a journal page under one Flip Flap from the Just a Note stamp set. I also included 2 paperclips from the Stamp and die set Just a Note.

I embellished the page with Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

This was a fun page to create. I hope you like it and all the others who are listed below. Please follow the blog hop to see other ideas. You definitely have to try them!
