Global Monthly Video Hop - Aug 2026 FUN FOLDS - Stampin Up Merrick Makings #stampinup #funfoldcard
updated
A quick video on how to create a tower card. I've added a folded flap section to write messages in so you don't have to write on the back. I love this new Vellum, which is a part of the Delightful Wishes Suite in the mini catalogue. Such cheery colours and easy to use die cut florals elements. All cutting and scoring dimensions are written on post-it notes in the video.... Please pause to write them down.

Hi everyone, today is the day I've been excited for the most.... I'm showing you how to create a scrapbook page. I will show you how to use current card sketches from the catalogue and convert them into a 12x12 format to create a scrapbook page. I started as a scrapbooker many years ago (over 20 years now), and it is my first love. I created this page using the Wildflower birthday DSP, another new product from the mini catalogue. Join me and watch my process for creating a fun page.
Don't forget to pop over to Tracy's live too , she is creating a scrapbook page also: youtu.be/EC0ED7YyGvI
We hope you've enjoyed this series and will join us tomorrow afternoon for a live which is bound to be full of laughs and mayhem. Both of us will be creating using different stamp sets, what can go wrong!?

I've gone for a simple feel to todays card and tag. I've used the versatile With You In Mind stamp set and used the sketches literally. Paired with our great current In Colours - Summer Splash and Pretty In Pink, I hope this inspires you to give these ones a try. I love how large the sentiments are in this set and the mix of fonts they use.

Gosh, its day 4 of the 'Come Create with us Collab' with Tracy Bish. Be sure you follow up over on her channel for more inspiration. I'm so excited to show you these projects. Its another fun, bright collection with the Ocean Friends bundle.

Welcome to day 2 and probably some of my favourite things in the catalogue. I'm not including measurements in these videos, instead I encourage you to find the sketches in the catalogue and try to be more 'free flow' with your measurements like I am.
Be sure to drop over to Tracy's socials and see her amazing creations too, we will be back over the weekend with a live for our final day of sharing.

Hi, come and create this quick fun fold using the Terrific Toadstools stamp set and matching DSP FREEBIE from the SaleABRation catalogue.This card is based on one I made earlier in the week and its really an easy way to create this style of card, there isn't too many measurements that you need, and your trimmer will come in handy for swapping between scoring and cutting.
All measurements are in the video, so pause your video to be able to create along with me.

Hi everyone,
This is my very first 8x8 page of the year and what better subject than my recent Christmas Cruise with RC!!! The Friends of the Ocean made the perfect new product for this and all I used was the DSP!
Enjoy!

I'm up to my fourth card in my fun fold series featuring Z folds.... this one is very pretty and uses the Hot Air Balloon bundle from Stampin Up. I think this set gets overlooked often but with the correct colour choice, it can be very pretty. See how I've created it and craft along with me to make your own.

Welcome to our final hop for the year, the Global Monthly team is thrilled you've joined us and can't wait to share all our festive cheer with you. Please be sure you click through and watch the videos below to get all the inspiration you need.
I've created a double easle fun fold card this time around, and use the More Than Autumn stamp set. I've paired it all with the A little Bit Festive DSP too, such great reds and greens to get you in the festive mood. As usual, my video has measurement and tips in it - go to the end for a product list and pause the parts in the video with on screen text to grab the measurements.
Please remember to share this with your crafty friends, and be sure to leave a comment. Thank you again to my regular visitors, I hope this festive season is kind to you all.

Here in Australia, seagulls are known as chip stealing birds, and if you've ever been to the beach, you know to protect your fish n chips with your life! It certainly brings back fond memories of throwing the leftovers to the seagulls when I was young.
Oh wow, this stamp set is super cute, I couldn't wait to show you all and what is more perfect for a flock of 'friendly seagulls' than a double z fun fold. I guess this actually is a triple z fun fold seeing there are 3 Z panels :)
I hope you are enjoying all my Z folded tutorials, if you haven't already, please pop over and check the other cards are like.

Whilst this has a wintery and even Christmas feel to it, the images are most definately versatile. Available now from Stampin Up through your demonstrator, grab your pack of 12x12 Nest of Winter today.
This is my third double z fun fold in my series and this time there is no DSP! Thats right, I didn't use any patterned paper or as we call it, designer series paper. I did use the Tune In stamp set and created a fun shaker element from the TV for the front of my card. I hope you give this one a go, it features a very large front panel and is super fun to play with.

This is the second card I've created, using a Double Z fun fold ... this time I used the Flowers and Frames DSP (with diecuts) for my card. Its a larger panelled front on this and allows you to add in all sorts of fun elements whilst keeping the creation time to a minimum!

Stay tuned and be prepared for a whole bunch of variations to the double Z fold tutorial in the coming weeks. I just love this fun fold and want you to as well - learn how this one idea can be created in many different ways, with a variety of looks. Are you a beginner? Then this one if for you!

I'm a member of the Global Monthly Video Hop team and this month I created 8 cards using the One Sheet Wonder technique.
But whats a bunch of cards without something for them to go in? Here is a quick tutorial on how to create a fabulous gift box that the cards can go into. I'm gifting my set to a non-cardmaker at the start of December so they can send handmade cards themselves but keep the box for their own keepsakes or present giving.
