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

Posted on March 13, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

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.

Stampin’ Up! Filled with Sweetness for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on March 6, 2026 by Karen Ksenzakovic

Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. We went from one extreme to another here in NJ. We’re getting ready to float away with all the rain we’re having, yet we still have snow on the ground. I was hoping that March would come in really windy to dry up the ground a little.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Filled with Sweetness Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Filled With Sweetness Bundle along with the Homemade Sweetness Designer Series Paper and Made With Sweetness Dies for my card today.

Arrange the fruit pieces on a panel of Basic White the way you like them. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Strawberry Slush mat.
