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.
It’s just a given that fun fold cards also post to the Creative Creases Challenge. Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper coordinates both this hop and the challenge. Hopefully, you will be inspired to upload your own fun fold project to the challenge!
I need a retirement card which a group of people will want to sign. I used the Beautiful Gallery DSP, the Sunrise Sailing photopolymer stamp set, and the Everyday Arches die set to create a latch fold card. Here’s my card:
This gorgeous DSP is one of the two main reasons I purchased the DSP pack. I fell in love with the colors and designs because they remind me of growing up on the South Shore of Long Island and walking to the bay or boating out to the best clamming spots.
I’ve made a number of latch fold cards in both vertical and horizontal layouts. You can see some of the vertical cards here and here.
Measurements:
As with many of my fun fold cards, I have created templates for all the measurements.
Here are the templates for this latch fold card:
HINT: I find it easier to score at 1-11/16 and 3-3/8 and then flip the cardstock to the other end and score at 1-11/16 and 3-3/8. I only have to remember two measurements that way.
HINT #2: 1-11/16 is one tick mark before 1-3/4 inches if you are using the Stampin’ Up! trimmer
Some Hints:
I did plan out how I was going to trim the Beautiful Gallery DSP so I could get everything I needed from two of the 6 x 6 inch papers and still have some leftover for another card
The Cajun Craze piece of DSP used as the part to fold under the latch is the reverse side of the boats pattern
I used a scrap of the DSP for the retirement sentiment
All the sentiments come from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set and I stamped them all using Secret Sea
I am probably going to have to trim another piece of Basic Beige to adhere to the back of the card if we run out of room on the cardstock pieces on the inside
I did all my trimming, then cropping using the Everyday Arches dies, then adhered everything together
The only place where I used dimensionals was under the retirement sentiment
I adhered all the other pieces using multipurpose liquid glue
This will fit in a medium white envelopes but since it’s going to be hand-delivered.I don’t need to add extra postage, which would be necessary if mailing this
While the card looks complicated, the hardest part was trying to be very frugal when trimming and cropping the DSP because I don’t want to waste any of it; if I could, I’d buy a whole pack of just this boat paper
Back to the Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator’s Fun Fold Blog Hop:
Before you go, I hope you will hop along with us! I always learn something new from everyone on the hop, and I think you will as well. Inspiration comes from so many places. Lately I’ve been really watching cloud formations to get ideas for coloring or inking clouds on my projects. Embracing the process can lead to new and exciting end results, at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
The September – December 2025 Mini-Catalog is now available!
Of course, this means there are new Online Exclusives as well! Here are some examples:
This Peaceful Garden Suite Collection is beautiful, and I love non-traditional colors for Christmas. I thought I would be able to use this suite for all my Christmas cards.
This Modern Christmas Suite Collection is absolutely gorgeous! I told myself that I wouldn’t need anything other than the Peaceful Garden Suite Collection. I was wrong. This suite is already in my cart:
Of course, I had to get a cute Christmas critters set of products. This Jolly Delivery Suite fit the bill perfectly:
Last Chance Stamping Write Markers!
While you are shopping, make sure you pick up the Last Chance Stamping Write Markers! These markers, including the 2025 – 2027 In Color markers, are being discontinued. I love using these markers when sending cards because I can coordinate the card with the writing color. Therefore, I have all the available sets ready and waiting in my SU! cart.
If you live in the U.S. and don’t already have a Stampin’ UP! demo from whom you order, I would be honored to work with you. You can reach me at my justpeachystamping@gmail.com.
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.
It’s just a given that fun fold cards also post to the Creative Creases challenge. Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper coordinates both this hop and the challenge. Hopefully, you will be inspired to upload your own fun fold project to the challenge!
Here’s my double box fun fold card:
I love finding fun folds that are based on trimming and scoring, and this one fits the bill perfectly. I’ve seen these cards for a while, and finally looked into creating one. I found the directions on the site of Jill Andress from the Wandering Stamper.
Measurements:
The Secret Sea box #1 base measures 9-3/8 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 3/8, 1-3/8, 2-7/8, and 3-7/8 inches
All of those score lines need to be burnished well into valley folds
Panels for the box #1 base measure 5-1/4 by 4 inches, 1-1/4 by 4, and I added the optional panel of 7/8 by 4 inches
The Secret Sea box #2 base measures 5-1/8 by 3-1/2 inches, scored at 3/8 and 1-3/8 inches
Panels for box #2 measure 3-7/8 by 7/8 inches and 3-5/8 by 3-3/8 inches
The white cardstock panel for the back of the card measures 5-1/4 by 4 inches
I also trimmed a piece of the Cloud Cover DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Then, I punch a 1-inch circle from the roses DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
I used a length of Secret Sea ribbon for the box
Putting the Card Together:
I recommend using Jill’s video for putting this card together as she explains everything and it’s easy to follow along
If you need help with using eighths on your paper trimmer, Jill explains exactly how to do it
Things I learned:
The Beautiful Gallery DSP is gorgeous on this card
Add the ribbon before adhering the DSP to the base of box #1
While you will be able to cover most of the ribbon using the white cardstock on the back, it’s just easier to adhere it before you get that far
Make sure you burnish your folds very well because it needs to be able to pop back into place when removed from the envelope
The optional piece of DSP on the side of box #1 really does need a piece of DSP or embossed cardstock since the card will fold flat
I like using a mat layer between the base and the DSP for cards, but that will make this card too bulky and it will require extra postage
Use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together, with the exception of the sentiment
If you like fun folds, this one is for you! It looks very complicated, and the recipient will be completely impressed. It will be our little secret that it is much easier than it looks.

Here’s my double-easel fun fold card:
The Thinking of You sentiment is so versatile and I don’t know yet what I will need for the reverse sentiment. Therefore, I left the back panel blank so I can add that sentiment later.
This card was inspired by a card posted to Pinterest by Mikaela Titheridge, a UK Stampin’ Up! Demo. Here’s her gorgeous card:
Mikaela’s Pinterest post said she was inspired by a card from Emma Goddard, another UK Stampin’ Up! Demo. It just so happens that my upline, Brian King from Stamp with Brian, knows Emma and he was able to get her card and dimensions for me. Woo-Hoo!
Here’s Emma’s card:
Measurements:
Here are the measurements I received for Emma’s card:
Cardstock & DSP: Blackberry Bliss 11″ x 4 1/4″ Blackberry Bliss 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ Blackberry Bliss 3 1/2″ x 2 3/8″ Basic White 3 3/8″ x 2 1/4″ DSP Scene Design 5 1/4″ x 4″ DSP Blackberry Bliss 5 1/4″ x 4″ Thick Basic White 6″ x 2 1/8″ (scored at 1 1/2″ & 3″) Thick Basic White 3″ x 2 1/8″ Garden Green – Die cut with flower stems x1 DSP Scene Design 7cm x 5cm or 2 7/8″ x 2″ DSP Blackberry Bliss 7cm x 5cm or 2 7/8″ x 2″ Basic Black – Scrap for sentiment
Double-eas
What I Did:
I used the floral Irresistible Designs 12 x 12 Specialty DSP (designer series paper) for the front and inside smaller easel
Using a blending brush and the Secret Sea ink pad, I added color to the floral DSP
HINT: I really wanted more of a Cloud Cover color, so I added light layers of ink first and then darkened as I went
Don’t forget to wipe down the DSP as you color so the white pattern shines through as it resists the ink
I did color the inside easel DSP darker so I’d have a contrast with the front of the card
The three colors I used are Basic White, Cloud Cover, and Secret Sea
I used the Impressions Abloom dies for the white and Secret Sea sprays of leaves, as well as cropping the front ovals
The butterfly comes from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp and die set
The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set, which I cropped using the Stylish Shapes banner die

Here’s my Otterly Amazing fun fold card:
This past week I was on Spring Break and found this fun fold tutorial by Terri Gaines with Create with Terri Gaines and went just a tad overboard creating cards using this fold. Today’s card is one of six I’ve made in the past 3 or 4 days. Once you have figured out what papers and such that you will be using, you’ve already spent more time than it takes to create this fun fold. This is definitely a card for beginners because all you need to know is how to score and trim paper according to directions. Terry included a free PDF for the card on the video, but I went with my favorite and created a template to use.
Here’s my template, which includes all the scoring and trimming measurements:
What I Did:
One of the best things about this card is that the Otterly Amazing die set crops images from the DSP (designer series paper)! Therefore, I didn’t need to color anything!
Trim a piece of DSP (designer series paper) to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope
Punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
Stamp the sentiments, found in the Otterly Amazing stamp set, in Pretty Peacock on white cardstock
Using the school of fish stamp, randomly stamp just the outside folded front pieces, as shown in the picture, in Pretty Peacock
Adhere the 3 panel layers according the template
Crop the otter images from the DSP using the Otterly Amazing die set
Adhere the single otters to the inside part of the card base
Add dimensionals to the back of the otters on the front and adhere to the panel #2
Crop the sentiment and add the ribbon
Carefully adhere dimensionals to the back of the sentiment banner so that they won’t show outside of panel #2 when opened
Slide the front sentiment under the the otters as shown
Add three irregular river pebbles on the front of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Here’s my Otterly Amazing fun fold card:
I was looking for an easy fun fold for this month that would have a big WOW factor. I found this post on Pinterest and knew it would be fabulous with the Otterly Adorable Suite of products! The card was made by Karen G. and posted on LeeAnn Greff’s blog, Flowerbug’s Inkspot. The card was amazingly simple, especially since the Otterly Amazing die set crops out the otters from the DSP (designer series paper). I made some minor adjustments, and you can click on the link for LeeAnn Greff’s blog for the original card and measurements.
Measurements:
The Pretty Peacock base measures 7-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
The DSP for the front measures 3 by 5-3/8 inches
The inside DSP measures 1 by 5-3/8 inches
I also trimmed a piece of the DSP to 2-1/2 by 6 inches for the envelope flap, which gets trimmed after adhering it
Next I punched a 1-inch circle from the Balmy Blue DSP that I used on the tag for the envelope seal, which I ran through my XYRON create-a-sticker
The flap piece measures 3 x 1 inch, scored at 1/2 inch
Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
I used scraps of Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, and Old Olive cardstock for the plants and sentiment tag
Cropping, Tracing, and Stamping:
Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to attach all the pieces together
Crop the otters from the DSP using the Otterly Amazing dies
Crop the tag from Pretty Peacock cardstock using the large tag die from the Greetings of the Season die set
Pictures are worth 1,000 words, so I am sharing what I did to get the DSP layer for the tag:
Use the inside edges of the tag die to trace your pattern
After tracing the inside edges, fussy cut the tag
Adhere DSP layer to the tag and punch a hole lining up with the hole in the cardstock and then admire your skill
Crop the plants from the three colors of cardstock and use the coordinating marker to add the stem and leaf lines
Adding the lines on the plants is optional, I just thought it added dimension
Adhere the otters and plants to the tag
Add Lost Lagoon soft cording to the tag
Wipe down a piece of scrap Lost Lagoon with an embossing buddy
Stamp the outside sentiment in VersaMark and Pretty Peacock ink, cover with clear embossing powder, and heat set
HINT: To stamp and emboss in color, first stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink and, without stamping off, load the sentiment with Pretty Peacock ink
Stamp the sentiment and quickly add clear embossing powder
Stamp the inside sentiment on the white piece of cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink
Assembly:
Adhere the scored 1/2 inch part of the flap to the inside of the card
Adhere the tag to the other end of the flap
After adhering the white cardstock, adhere the DSP strip to the inside
Adhere the front DSP to the base of the card
Add mini-dimensionals to the right side of the sentiment and use liquid glue to adhere the part that overlaps the tag
I added one of the Lost Lagoon riverside irregular pearls (from the product suite) to cover the hole in the sentiment tag
Then, I added two more pearls to the corners of the inside strip of DSP
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal
Back to the SU! Demo Fun Fold Blog Hop:
We all hope you will follow the links below and hop along with us. There’s so much inspiration to be found here. We’d love to see what inspires you to create a fun fold as well. Don’t forget to upload it to the Creative Creases challenge!
Welcome to the November, 2024 SU! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop! Each month, a group of demos share fun fold cards for a blog hop. I always learn something new and thoroughly enjoy seeing the creations of the other demos. We hope that you will use the line-up below to hop along with us.
For the November Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop, I posted an easy fun fold, but everything else about the card was very detailed. You can see that card here. I’m using the same fold with Nature’s Sweetness DSP (designer series paper) and the coordinating Lovely & Sweet stamp set and dies. I did find out that I really don’t have any stamp sets dedicated to a wedding or anniversary, so I needed to use a combination of current and retired stamp sets for this card.
Here’s my card:
Please, please, please don’t let all the pieces of this card scare you off. Truly, if you can trim and score paper, you have all the skills necessary to make this card! For the November Pals’ Hop, I used a tutorial from Creating with Kristina, which you can find here. This fold is so easy-peasy that I didn’t need a template to create this wedding card after doing the first card. Truly, please try it!
Measurements:
The Pebbled Path base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
The DSP patterns on the front are actually the front and reverse of one piece of DSP, which I trimmed to 4 by 5-1/4 inches
Then, I trimmed the DSP into two pieces, the first measures 3/4 inches wide and the second measures 3-1/4 inches wide
The gold and Pebbled Path DSP on the inside measures 5-3/8 by 11 inches, scored at 2-3/4, 5-1/2, and 8-1/4 inches
Trim another piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
HINT: I’ve found that if I don’t adhere this DSP to the envelope flap and trim it immediately I tend to put this piece away with the rest of the stack of DSP
Punch a 1-inch circle from a coordinating piece of DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker to make the envelope seal
I used three pieces of white cardstock trimmed to 5-3/8 by 4-1/8 inches
The piece of white cardstock on the back measures 4 by 3 inches
You will need a piece of white cardstock measuring 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches for all the additional sentiment stamping
HINT: I have a stash of scraps for each color, and they come in very handy when stamping smaller sentiment panels for cards
I also used a piece of 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch piece of Pebbled Path cardstock for the heat embossed floral spray on the front
I had a scrap piece of Pebbled Path large enough to crop the banner mat for the front of the card
Stamping, Embossing, & Cropping:
All the sentiments were stamped in VersaMark ink on white cardstock
Then, I covered each with gold embossing powder and heat set the pieces
The outside sentiment comes from the Iconic Imagery stamp set and was cropped using a die from the Iconic Imagery set
The two inside images were cropped directly from the Nature’s Sweetness DSP using the Lovely & Sweet dies and I absolutely love when that option is available
The Pebbled Path floral spray on the front was stamped in VersaMark ink using one of the Lovely & Sweet stamps
Then, I covered it in white embossing powder and heat set it
After the embossing powder cooled down, I cropped it using the coordinating die
Assembly:
I used a Pebbled Path marker to outline the two DSP pieces on the front of the card
Next, I outlined the white cardstock pieces using a gold Wink of Stella pen
Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
Before you adhere the folded strip of DSP to the inside of the card, adhere the pieces on the four folded pieces
Adhere the white cardstock pieces to the front and inside of the base
Adhere the front DSP and the floral spray to the front of the card
Adhere the sentiment layer to the Pebbled Path mat and add dimensionals to the underside to adhere it to the front of the card
Next, adhere the inside W-fold DSP to the card
Finally, add the sentiment panel with space for a handwritten note to the back of the card
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
