A Nature Walk for the December SU! Demonstrator Fun Fold Blog Hop

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. I can always find a new fold or other inspiration from the challenge. I would love to see your creations there as well.

Here’s my card:

This card starts with a basic z-fold card, and then has a pop-up piece when opened, which she called a double-decker pop-out card. I found this card on Sue Campfield’s YouTube channel, and you can see her video here. Sue used 1/4 inch borders for her cards, and I used 1/8, which explains the difference in measurements. Her video is from May, 2023, which means the products used are retired. The Nature’s Walk Suite of products I used will be available on January 6, 2026 in the online exclusive products.

Measurements:

The Night of Navy base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches
There are three white mats, the first measure 5-1/8 by 4-1/8 inches for the back of the base
The two bases for the flaps each measure 2 by 5-3/8 inches
The Night of Navy piece for the front of the card measures 3-3/8 by 4-3/8 inches
After dry embossing a piece of white cardstock using the Birchwood EF, trim it to 3-1/4 by 4-1/4 inches
The white piece of cardstock for the pop-up panel measures 4-1/4 by 3 inches
The Night of Navy pop-up mechanism piece measures 3 by 2-1/4 inches, scored on the long side at 3/4, 1-1/2, and 2-1/4 inches
I used the upcoming Nature Walk DSP (designer series paper) for my card and needed to trim three pieces
The first two for the flaps each measure 1-7/8 by 5-1/4 inches, and the one in the back measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- HINT: I wanted the pieces of DSP to line up after being trimmed, so I needed to trim it with the backside pattern facing up
- You could also trim the back piece then the two flaps but remember to trim from right to left
I needed a piece of DSP measuring 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
I had enough of the white embossed cardstock leftover to punch a 1-inch circle and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
I used leftover pieces of white and Night of Navy cardstock for the sentiment and leaf die cuts
The white leaves die cuts were leftover from another project

Sue Campfield’s Video:

I’ve made a number of z-fold cards and have made a number of variations of the z-fold as well. Following Sue’s video, I was able to easily fold and adhere the pop-up mechanism. It would be so much easier to follow her video for that part of the card.

What I Did:

Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together
I started by adhering the DSP to the white cardstock pieces, then adhered them to the base of the card
I used the ____ stamp set for the sentiments
Using Night of Navy ink, I stamped the front sentiment on a leftover piece of white cardstock
Crop the sentiment using a circle die from the Stylish Shapes die set
Next, I stamped the inside sentiment in Night of Navy ink
Since I wanted to have the branches/leaves on the inside piece to be lighter, I used stamped off Night of Navy before stamping on the white cardstock
After adhering the Night of Navy branches to the embossed piece of cardstock, I wound white baker’s twine around the cardstock three times
- It helps to use some tear & tape to the back of the cardstock to hold the ends of the baker’s twine in place
Next, I added a mini-glue dot under the baker’s twine to pull the three pieces together where I wanted to place the double bow
I used another glue dot to adhere the bow
Add dimensionals under the sentiment circle so they straddle the baker’s twine and adhere
Adhere the inside panel on the pop-up mechanism
The white cardstock branches were after-thoughts, and I added dimensionals on the piece for the front and slipped it under the sentiment
Then I adhered the large leaves/branches to the inside base of the card
Finally, I added three brass butterflies on the outside and one on the inside popped-up piece

With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
