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.
This month’s design is a trifold, or triple fold-out, decorated with Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack. To create the card base, cut 8 1/2″ X 11″ Mossy Meadow Cardstock in half, giving you two pieces , 4 1/4″ X 11″. Score on the 11″ side: 2 1/2″, 3 3/4″, 6 3/4″, and 8 1/4″. Then, fold on the score lines, mountain/valley, mountain/valley.

Joyful Days Trifold
Next, cut three pieces of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock: front panel 3 1/8″ X 4″, middle panel 4″ X 4″, and back panel 2 1/2″ X 4″. Decorate with Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack designs, cut 1/8″ smaller. Glue the decorated, Cherry Cobbler Cardstock panels to the folds, as shown, careful not to add glue to the portion that remains “free.” This is a view from the top.

As a final touch, each panel received Traditional Sparkling Sequins in red, green, and gold. These are fun to use, because they are self-adhesive, without holes in the center, and very sparkly in person. Did you notice that the third panel is ready for a personal message? It isn’t visible when the card is closed, and this card fits in our medium envelope.

The basic design of my Fun Fold card is a Z Fold, with arches added to the card base.

Joyful Days Fun Fold
The Z Fold card base was cut from White Willow Cardstock, 2 3/4″ X 12″, scored at 4″ and 8 “. Then, I used the largest Everyday Arches Die to cut three arches from White Willow cardstock, and glued them to the Z fold card base. Here’s a view of the back.

Next, I used the second largest, Everyday Arches Die, to cut three arches: two from Mossy Meadow Cardstock, and one from the Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack. This “card pack” is a favorite from the 2025 September-December Mini Catalog (p.13), and will be available September 3.

After the second largest, Everyday Arches, were glued to the Z Fold, I used the fifth largest, Everyday Arches Die, to cut arches from the Joyful Days Memories & more Card Pack. Then, they were glued in place, and my Fun Fold was complete. The card pack includes cards with sentiments, and cards for personal messages, making creating “quick & easy.”

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.
The basic design of my Fun Folds card is a Double Easel, “plus” I added holes and circles for extra fun!

Double Easel Plus
To begin, I cut Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 11″, in half, having two pieces, 4 1/4″ X 11″. I scored one at 5 1/2″, and one at 5 1/2″, with the front fold at 2 3/4″, and glued the two together. Then, I cut Floral Impressions Designer Paper: front-4″ X 2 1/2″, middle-4″ X 5 1/4″, and back-4″ X 5 1/4″. After gluing the designer paper to the card base, I used a Stylish Shapes circle die to cut a hole in the middle section.

Next, I used the largest and second largest Stylish Shapes circle dies to cut Thick Basic White Cardstock. I made six cuts, so I would have three, layered, circles. Then, I prepared the flowers and the greenery. The two flowers were cut from Basic White Cardstock, using Impressions Abloom Dies. After cutting, I stamped the flowers with Pretty In Pink Ink and Fresh Freesia Ink. Before gluing the flowers to the circles, I added color with Small Blending Brushes. The centers were cut with Impressions Abloom Dies from Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, and glued in place. The greenery was cut with a Beautiful Motifs Die from Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, layered on Garden Green Cardstock for thickness, and glued to a circle.

The greenery circle was glued to the card base first. Then, I carefully lined up the front, and back, flower circles, and glued them in place. The white center was replaced on the back circle for a personal message.

The sentiment, “celebrating you” is from the Coneflower Celebrations Stamp Set. I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. I hope you enjoyed seeing this Double Easel Plus, as much as I enjoyed making it!

The card I’m sharing today is extra long, and fits perfectly in a legal sized envelope. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 9 1/4″ X 8″, folded at 4″. I decided to make this “fun fold,” because I wanted to show the length of different colored flowers on this beautiful, Floral Impressions Designer Paper. I cut the designer paper, 9 1/8″ X 3 7/8″, and glued it to the card front, giving it a 1/16″ border.

Lovely Day
Next, I cut the word “lovely” using two Sweet Blooms Dies. I used Thick Basic White Cardstock for the word, and backed it with Secret Sea Cardstock. After cutting, I glued the two together, and glued it to the card front.

Completing the sentiment, “It’s a” and “day,” from the Sweet Blooms Stamp Set, were stamped in Secret Sea Ink. After stamping, I used the smallest, Perennial Postage Die for cutting, and attached the words with Dimensionals. For some sparkle, I added five, Holographic Resin Dots.

While making this card, I kept singing the Bill Wither’s song, Lovely Day. Now you can sing along:)
Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)

I’m calling this month’s design a “circle flap.” It features the darling dog from Along These Lines Stamp Set, combined with Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper.

“Circle flap” Fun Fold
I started with a Basic Beige card base, 8″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 2 1/2″. The 2 1/2″ fold is the front, which I covered with Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper, 2 1/4″ X 4″. The same pattern was used for the inside, 5 1/4″ X 4″.

Next, I stamped the dog from Along These Lines Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on a second pattern of Beautiful Gallery DSP, and used a Spotlight On Nature Die for cutting. Then, I backed the circle with Basic Beige Cardstock, for thickness. After cutting another circle of Basic Beige Cardstock for the inside, I glued all the circles, making sure the border holes matched.

After gluing the circles, I stamped the sentiment, “hi friend,” from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, on Beautiful Gallery DSP. After stamping, I used its Wonderful Thoughts Dies for cutting, layered it for thickness, and glued it in place. For a little sparkle, I added three, copper, Metallic Gems.

I can’t wait to show you my card today! Not only is it a new fun fold for me, it’s also a sneak peek of fabulous, Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper from the upcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. I began by cutting one of the scenes 4″ X 4″ to glue to the card front.

Explosion Fun Fold
Basic Beige Cardstock was used for the card base, which is 4″ X 8 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, making a square card. All of the fun happens on the inside. Get ready!

Take a 6X6″ piece of designer paper, and fold it in half, with the side you want to see, facing you. Then turn it, and fold in half. Unfold it, and fold again, making a triangle. Two of the squares will be flat, and two will be creased. Burnish the folds as you go. This is a bit tricky, and you may want to watch Patty Bennett’s video, if you need a visual. She does a great job explaining it.

It should look as pictured above, and you will be able to fold it into a square. Glue one of the flat sides to the bottom of the card base, as shown. I used Liquid Glue, so I could have wiggle room to make sure the points were perfectly even. Then, glue the other flat side to top of the card base.

Prior to gluing, I completed the squares on the inside. They are Beautiful Gallery DSP, 2 1/4″ X 2 1/4″, topped with with Basic Beige Cardstock, cut with a Stylish Shapes Die, 2″ X 2″. I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Mossy Meadow Ink, on one, and left the other blank for a personal message. I also stamped “May all your wishes come true” in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock. After cutting with another Stylish Shapes Die, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals. The sentiments are from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set.
