SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop – July 2026

Welcome to the July SU Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop! Thanks for stopping by.

You will find a lineup below to make it easy for you to hop along. We’ve got a talented line-up, as usual. I think you’ll like what you see, and I hope you’re inspired to try some of the fun folds.

I saw a card not too long ago, that was a different faux step card. Do you think I could find it to make it for this blog hop? Of course not. So I created this one from memory of what I remembered. I like how it came out.

I used Violet Dreams DSP and ephemera for the set. And the sentiment is from Wild bunch stamp set.

SU Demo Fun Fold Blog Hop- May ’26

Welcome! Glad you have joined us for the May Fun Fold Blog Hop.

It’s always so rewarding and satisfying to make cards. It’s even more rewarding to create an original card. This month I had an idea swimming in my head for a few days. Then when I sat down to create my idea, it flowed easily onto my palette. And this is what I created. I envisioned a hang over with sky and maybe a Seagull. Then I wanter a peaceful scene. So here is my idea. I hope you like it.

I used Relaxing Waterside Stamps and Waterside Retreat DSP. The card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 3/4″, 1″ and 6″. I used Peaceful Pine cardstock to border the picture.

On the inside I added a few things you might find at a cabin on the lake.

Thank you for coming and please follow the links below to see all the other wonderful and talented demonstrators’ creations.

April 2026-Stampin’ Up Demos Blog Hop

Welcome to the Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrators Blog Hop.

So glad you could join us! If you are looking to try a different fun fold, we have them here.

My card this month was CASed from Tami White, using the Capturing Smiles Stamp Set. I just love this card. So many Stampin’ Up papers would be perfect for this card. I used Delicate Dreams DSP. This card appears larger, but it’s A2 size. Because the card has so much going on in front, I placed a piece of Basic White on the center back for a sentiment and message.

Please be sure to visit the other demonstrators who contributed to this Blog Hop. See what else might inspire you to give it a try. You’ll find the list below.

This card lays flat for mailing.

But expands into a beautiful, fun card.

I hope our cards inspire you to try something new.

SU Demo Fun Fold Blog Hop

Welcome to the March Blog Hop! Thanks for stopping by.

This month I created a card that was created by Wandering Stamper. I used her card base design and created my card from that. It is a Faux Step card slightly altered. She calls it a floating step card.

I used Sweet Bugs DSP. It has a pull-out for your sentiment and message.

I hope you like it and make one.

I CASEd this card from Simply Stamping. This card is a “Flip Flop” card.
