Anything Goes for the September Stampin’ Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop

Sep 23, 2025 | Creative Creases, Stampin' UP! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop | 5 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.

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.

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.
