Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Bendy Front for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday the 13th morning stamping friends. How was your week? We arrived in Long Beach yesterday afternoon and have been very busy since we arrived. That’s one thing about OnStage that I love, we’re on the go constantly. It was great getting together with the team members last night, seeing people that we’ve only seen online and chatting. We all went out to dinner together and had a great time. We’ve got lots planned for today already, can’t wait to get all the sneak peeks.

Today I have a quick fun fold card that looks a lot harder than it actually is. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Bendy Front 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Banner Sayings Bundle along with the Hobby Haven Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Banner Sayings Bendy Front 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Using the punch out pieces from the Hobby Haven DSP, put together a small collage adhering them together with Glue Dots and Tear & Tape on the back. Set aside. Stamp the sentiment from Banner Sayings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink on a panel of Basic White. Using the Three Banner Punch, cut out the sentiment and set on the side.

Adhere the panel of Hobby Haven DSP to the Lost Lagoon card base. Put panel in Paper Trimmer and score in the center, lining up the score line on the card base in the track. Fold card base & DSP slightly forward. Adhere a panel of Hobby Haven DSP to the Lost Lagoon bridge panel. Use your bone folder to curve the panel from the back. Put tear & tape on the scored ends. Adhere the bridge to the card base lining up the bottom and sides. Adhere the sentiment to the center of the bridge with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the smaller panel of Hobby Haven DSP to the panel of Lost Lagoon. Line up the center score line in Paper Trimmer in the track and score over the DSP. Fold the panel slightly back. Put Tear & Tape on the 2 scored sides. Lining up the score line from the card base and the score line from the layered panel, adhere to card base.

Fold the 2 small square pieces in half. Put Tear & Tape on both sides of the fold. With folded sides in, adhere the pieces to the small, folded panel with folded sides lined up with the score line. Adhere the collage that you created to the other side of the small, folded squares.

On the 2 Basic White panels, stamp the sentiments from the Banner Sayings stamp set in Lost Lagoon Ink. Adhere some of the punch out pieces from the Hobby Haven DSP to the bottom of the panels. Adhere the Basic White panels to Petal Pink mats then to the back of the Lost Lagoon card base.

New Magnetic Ink Pads – 2026-2028 In-Colors

With the 2024-2026 In-Colors retiring soon, we will be getting a new beautiful set of colors. Introducing the 2026-2028 In-Colors. We will get to play with these colors here at OnStage.

Beginning in May 2026, Stampin’ Up! will introduce new felt ink pads in a magnetic, stackable case design.

  • In 2026, only the new In Colors will be offered in the new magnetic felt pads.
  • In 2027, all ink colors will transition to the new magnetic felt pad as part of a planned color revamp, and the current pad style will be phased out.

Importantly, existing ink pads will remain usable throughout this transition—there is no immediate need to replace what you already own. Please be aware, however, that once the transition takes place, the old ink pad design will only be available while supplies last.

The photo is an early peek at the new 2026-2028 In Colors!  And they look beautiful!!  The new Magnetic Ink Pads in the new In Colors will be available to order May 5!  The colors are a little hard to read in the image, but here they are (from left to right):

  • Crisp Cantaloupe
  • Barely Blush
  • Golden Glow
  • Peaceful Pine
  • Hydrangea Hue

They’re all so soft and pretty!  Looking forward to being able to preorder these soon!!
