Welcome to the monthly Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Fun Folds Blog Hop, March, 2026 edition. We’re so glad you’re here! You will find the Hop List toward the end of my Tropical Triangle project. 

My project features a Diagonal Double Fold created with products from the Boardwalk Fun Suite (from Stampin’ Up!®). You have probably seen many cards using these products. Most of them featuring the Ferris Wheel and roller coaster. As it often does, my brain went a different direction.

I have to be honest, this suite of products was not on my “gotta have it” list. Don’t get me wrong, I love everything about it. However, I just didn’t think it would be a good fit for me. Well, that’s what I get for thinking! Read on to see why I changed my mind. Hope you like the end result.

A quick story before we move on. Earlier this month, I took part in a Shoebox Swap during Stampin’ Up!s annual OnStage event. This year it was held in Long Beach, California. The Boardwalk Fun was perfect and the fun fold was well, fun. Everyone loved it.  

Boardwalk Fun Suite #166844

Beach Boardwalk 12″ x 12″ DSP #166820

What I Love: The patterns on the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper! Especially the sheet I used for this project. One side for the “water” and the other for the “sky”. Perfect!

Enough chit chat, let’s make this Tropical Triangle card.
