Easter’s on the Way with the March SU! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

Mar 24, 2026 | Creative Creases, Stampin' UP! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop | 4 comments

Welcome back to the monthly Stampin’ UP! Demonstrators Fun Fold Blog Hop. If you love fun folds, you’ve come to a hop filled with really great projects by some very talented fellow demonstrators. When you finish here, I hope you will hop along with the rest of the demos using the links below.

I was inspired by Lisa Bernard’s Easter Basket Bundle card, which you can see here. I’m so glad I saw her card! A friend asked me to make his parents’ Easter card using this bundle, and Lisa’s card really got my. mojo going.

Here’s my card:

It’s just a given that fun fold cards also post to the Creative Creases Challenge. Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper coordinates the challenge along with this Demos’ Blog Hop, and it’s one of my favorite challenges. Hopefully, you will be inspired to upload your own fun fold project to the challenge! I love this hidden flap fun fold and have already posted a number of them, some of which you can see here, here, and here.

Measurements:

• The Shy Shamrock base measures 11by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 2-1/4 and 5-1/2 inches
• I trimmed a second piece of Shy Shamrock to 1-1/2 ” by 11″, scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2 inches for the double z-fold mechanism
• There are two pieces for the inside of the z-fold and each measures 3/4 by 4 inches, scored at 1/2 inch & 3-3/4 inches
• The white cardstock for the back sentiment measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
• I used some different patterns from the Easter Joy 12″ by 12″ DSP
  • The egg and flower piece on the front flap measures 2-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches
  • The striped DSP pieces measure 1-3/8 by 5-3/8 inches, and two pieces each measuring 1-3/8 by 2-5/8 inches
  • The DSP scene with the sky and the clouds needed to be trimmed down to 5-3/8 by 4 inches
• I cropped the basket from a scrap piece of Crumb Cake cardstock
• This card won’t fit in a medium envelope, so I didn’t trim DSP for the envelope flap

Pieces Used:

• All the pieces were stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with blends
• There are four rabbits: 2 for the pop-up pieces, 1 for the inside of the base, and one on the back panel
• I used one chocolate bunny for the front basket
• There are two chicks, two flower bunches, and three single flowers
• I used four carrots and six eggs
• There are 5 cropped grass pieces in Shy Shamrock
• The basket was cropped from Crumb Cake cardstock
• Thankfully, the basket “ribbon” is from one of the Easter Basket dies
• The basket “ribbon” woven in the bottom of the basket and the top bow were cropped from Balmy Blue cardstock
• The basket was cropped from Crumb Cake cardstock, then I used the dark Crumb Cake blend to outline the handle
• The fabric for the top of the basket comes from the Easter DSP
• I used the following blends for coloring: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Shy Shamrock, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Balmy Blue, and Pretty in Pink

Putting the Card Together:

• I went overboard with all the additional pieces and layers for this card because once I got started I just couldn’t stop myself
  • Of course, you can easily scale this down so that you only have a z-fold card using the DSP, the Easter basket, one or two rabbits, and some carrots
• Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together
• Start by adhering the DSP to the front flap and the inside of the base of the card
• Adhere the pieces of the striped DSP to the z-fold mechanism
• The double z-fold mechanism gets adhered in the opposite direction from the folded base
  • Adhere the short outside end to the bottom of the inside base of the card
  • Adhere the long outside end to the bottom of the front flap of the card
  • Here’s a template showing the placement of the double z-fold mechanism, which I found at What Cathy Made

• I would strongly suggest using the reverse craft tweezers found in the Embossing Additions kit to adhere the interior pieces to the inside of the z-fold piece of cardstock
  • I used multipurpose liquid glue because I was concerned that I’d make a mess of the placement if I used tear & tape
• I used dimensionals to adhere the basket, rabbit, duckling, and carrot on the front flap
