Split Front Fun Fold Card - Combine Old With New - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop. This is a short hop, but we are combining older items with new items in the May to August 2026 Stampin' Up! catalog. How fabulous is that! To see all of the projects, be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post! 😊

Do You Like Scallops?

Have you ever used a scallop background element? Well the new SCALLOPED BLOOMS dies have so many sizes that you are going to LOVE! I decided to use the next to the largest scallop circle with the old BEAUTIFUL GALLERY DSP paired with the new Crisp Cantaloupe & Barely Blush In Color cardstock.

However, I picked up the colors from the DSP and used Calypso Coral & Petal Pink ink to stamp my flowers from the BOUTIQUE BLOOMS stamp set. Then I added die cut leaves from the BOUTIQUE BLOOMS dies to go with the stamped and die cut flowers in the new Peaceful Pine In Color cardstock. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the SCALLOPED BLOOMS stamp set and is inked in the Pecan Pie color. Then the new 2026-2028 IN COLOR DOTS were added in the Golden Glow color. The blending of the old and new colors looks great together!

How about a picture of the inside with the pocket created from the split front part of this fun fold?

Want a video that shows you how to create this super easy fun fold? You can watch it from my Stamp With Joy Nelson YouTube channel, or you can watch it here on my blog below:

SNEAK PEEK of Sunset Coast Bundle - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop. This one is all about upcoming items in the NEW May to August 2026 Stampin' Up! catalog. I LOVE sneak peeks! How about you? To see all of the projects, be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post! 😊

Sunsets Wow Me Every Time

Do you love sunsets? Or lighthouses? Or both? The new SCENIC COAST Designer Series Paper (DSP) is SO beautiful. It even has an iridescent shine in the water that is difficult to see in the photo, but so, so pretty in person. If you love sunsets, you absolutely must have this paper!

And of course the stamps and dies are fabulous in the SUNSET COAST bundle and coordinate so very well. I've shown the lighthouse, but there is also a beautiful sailboat die and sunburst die as well as many others. There are also sentiments for many occasions among the stamps that also include additional scenes that you will love if you love coastal images.

To get a great sneak peek of these items from the SCENIC COAST suite of items, watch my video from my Stamp With Joy Nelson YouTube channel and craft along to make this quick & easy card!

Here's one last look at this card that was so easy to make but with this fabulous DSP it really makes a wow card.

I hope you enjoyed my project. Please scroll down below to see the supplies used to make it!
