A Jolly Delivery for the November SU! Demos’ Fun Fold Blog Hop

Nov 25, 2025 | Creative Creases, Critter Crazy Challenge, 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 made my great-nieces and great-nephew fun fold cards for Halloween. My 9 year-old great niece loved hers and I said that I was doing something special for Christmas cards for them. That sent me on the hunt for new-to-me fun folds.

Here’s my open bay window card:

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’m also going to upload this card to the Critter Crazy Challenge since I have the dog and squirrel on the front and center, and added the chipmunk on the back. I hope that qualifies for Critter Crazy.

I found this card and video tutorial posted by Creative Moments By G on October 14, 2025, and loved it. After watching the video the first time, I sat down and used their measurements to trim all my paper, then followed along with the YouTube video while creating my test card. I probably should’ve used retired DSP (designer series paper), but live and learn. I also created a template for myself to follow using a 1/8 inch margin instead of a 1/4 inch margin.

Template & Practice Card:

Here’s my practice card, without the acetate and floating front:

Here’s the template:

What I Did:

  • I’d strongly suggest watching the video by Creative Moments by G, which I linked above just to see how the card goes together
  • I used the Jolly Delivery stamp set and North Pole Delivery 12″ by 12″ Specialty DSP, which includes two sheets of precut designs
    • Just a little side note – I can not believe that I was able to get all 4 of the Christmas village DSP pattern strips to line up so perfectly
  • Before I started putting anything together, I first trimmed all the paper I would need which made it much easier for me to follow along with the video
  • Since this card is already bulky, I only used multipurpose liquid glue and tear & tape to adhere all the pieces together
    • Make sure you let the liquid glue dry completely
  • The layers of the sentiment panel on the front were cropped using two of the Nested Essential dies
  • The three glittery dots come from the low-profile sparkly dots set
  • For the bay window Garden Green pieces, I used the Regals 6 x 6 inch DSP
  • The center inside panel comes from the Pool Party pattern in the Subtles 6 x 6 inch DSP
  • The adorable dog pulling the gift sleigh comes from the precut designs, as does the squirrel I added behind the presents
  • The addition of Very Vanilla cardstock on the back is necessary for a sentiment and my personal note to my great-niece
  • I also used two precut pieces for the back bottom corners of the card
  • BIG HINT: I added cardstock layers behind all the DSP pieces, which was a mistake because the card won’t fit in the envelope
    • This card will be hand-delivered, so I can get an envelope better suited for the bulk
    • The practice card only has one layer of added cardstock, and that’s behind the inside center DSP panel
    • The practice card easily fits in a medium envelope, and will do so even after the acetate and front pieces are added
    • This card will require additional postage
  • It truly took longer to trim all the paper than it did to put this card together, so I hope you will add it to your fun fold rotation

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

A Jolly Delivery for the November Sparkles Christmas Challenge #178

Nov 1, 2025 | Creative Creases, Sparkles Christmas Buddy Challenge | 0 comments

Welcome to the October, 2025 edition of the Sparkles Christmas Challenge # 178! Thank you very much for all the participants for our October challenge! Our host for this month’s challenge, Kate, chose Festive Wear for the theme. When you get finished here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to view the creations from the very talented members of our design team. After you’ve created your own themed card, please don’t forget to upload it to our gallery.

Here’s my Jolly Delivery Festive Wear card:

This North Pole Delivery 12 x 12 inch Specialty DSP (designer series paper) is so stinking cute! This four panel card can be made with one 6″ x 12″ piece of the DSP.

I found this card and the directions on Connie Stewart’s YouTube Channel, Simply Simple Stamping. Connie has a knack for breaking down intricate looking cards into Simply Simple tutorials.

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!

My Template & Hints:

While watching Connie’s video I wrote down the measurements, then created a template.

Here’s the template:

Hints:

  • I didn’t use the cardstock mats for this card, so I used those measurements to trim the DSP
  • Don’t forget to punch a 1-inch circle and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
  • The base is Garden Green with a Very Vanilla piece on the last panel as well
  • I used Poppy Parade and Very Vanilla for the arches
  • BIG HINT: If you want your DSP patterns to line-up and match from the front to the back you need to trim with the reverse side up – trust me on that hint as I may or may not have had a problem when trimming
  • The inks are Poppy Parade, Garden Green and Tuxedo Black
  • I fussy cut the jolly bear for the front of the card
  • I need three Christmas cards for my two great-nieces and one for my great-nephew, and am planning to use this stamp and die set bundle with the DSP for those cards
  • I only used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together since dimensionals would’ve made it much bulkier
  • This card will require extra postage, but will fit in a medium size SU! envelope

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

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!

Happy Fall Y’all!

It doesn’t get much more southern than to say y’all. I still remember the look of astonishment on the faces of my many relatives on Long Island, where I was born and raised, the first time I’d said it in front of them. Of course, I’d lived here three or four years by then. Can you imagine saying y’all with a Long Island accent? Yes, it was that interesting, to say the least.

Stampin’ Up! has a fabulous suite for all your Happy Fall projects and cards. While the whole suite is a must-have, the DSP is stunning! I miss real falls, even raking leaves!

Here’s a close-up of the DSP:

I’ll be posting a slimline card using the plaid DSP pattern on the top row next week. Make sure you come back to see the beautiful gold foil, Basic Beige, and Crushed Curry plaid. Such pretty paper!

If you have any questions, or need a bit of a creative mojo boost, you can reach me at my justpeachystamping@gmail.com.

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.
