Welcome to the August 2024 Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. We’re so glad you stopped by, and we hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from blog to blog.
For this month’s blog hop, I created a simple fun fold card with one of my favorite, new, designer papers, Splendid Autumn. It will be available September 4th! I started with a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 3″. The 3″ fold is the front, which I covered with Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, 2 3/4″ X 4″. The same floral paper was used for the inside, 5 1/4″ X 4″, and a solid purple, 2 3/4″ X 4″, to back the card front.
Splendid Autumn Fun Fold
Spotlight On Nature Dies were used to cut circles from the Splendid Autumn DSP. I backed the front, floral circle with Gorgeous Grape Cardstock, and glued it in place. For the circle inside, I used solid gold designer paper, added glue to the back, matched it to the front circle, and lowered it in place.
The sentiment is from the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped “Grateful for you” in Blackberry Bliss Ink on solid purple designer paper, and used the smallest Spotlight On Nature Die for cutting. Then, I backed it with cardstock, and attached it with Dimensionals. For added detail to the front, and inside, I used a Cheerful Daisies die to cut sprigs from Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. I’ll be writing a personal note inside, and sending as a Thanksgiving card.

Welcome to the July 2024 Fun Folds Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. We’re so glad you stopped by, and we hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from blog to blog.
BREAKING NEWS: Today July 23, Stamping Up! is offering FREE SHIPPING. It’s one day only with a $75.00 minimum order.
This month’s fun fold is showing off Lily Pond Lane Designer Paper. The fun fold design looks complicated, but you’ll discover it’s easy! Peggy Noe showed us how to do it during her monthly ZOOM meeting, and I changed the measurements just a spec.
Lily Pond Fun Fold
I began with a card base of Balmy Blue Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, scored on the long side, 3″, 6″, and 7 1/4″, and folded. The top piece is 3″ X 8 1/2″, scored on the long side at 4 1/4″, and folded in half.
After cutting and folding, I added the Lily Pond Designer Paper: 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″, and 5 1/4″ X 1″ to the front of the card base. And, 2/3/4″ X 4″ to the front of the top piece. When gluing the top piece, I glued only the portion that touches the card base, while laying folded, and flat, to insure the edges were even. I also added Basic White Cardstock to the inside, 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″, along with a fussy cut duck.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set, stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink on the DSP. Then, I used a Happy Little Things Die for cutting, layered it for thickness, and glued it in place. For a little sparkle, I used Iridescent Discs across the front lily pads.
Let’s see what the other hoppers have for us.
