Pals Blog Hop April 2026: To the Beach!
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop is all about the Male Room—because the men in our lives deserve handmade cards too! Whether you’re creating for a dad, husband, son, grandson, brother, or friend, this hop is packed with ideas to help you craft something special. Today, the Pals are sharing male-themed card designs using Stampin’ Up! products, from bright and playful styles to classic looks and quick-and-easy layouts. If you’re looking for fresh inspiration (or just a good reason to dive into your craft room), you’re in the perfect place.
Let’s take the guys to the beach for a little rest and relaxation. But first, a little story about my “Male Room” project.
A few weeks ago I was able to attend OnStage by Stampin’ Up! While I was there I took part in a “shoebox swap” with a few friends. The “teepee” card you see above is one of the projects we made, thanks to my friend Jarmila Vik. It even folds flat to fit into an A2 envelope. Amazing!

To create this beachy card we used the Rolling Waves Bundle. The layers of foamy water make projects you create with this bundle amazing.

A couple of years ago I created one of these folds and turned it into a Halloween Treat Holder. Fun! You can find the fun fold tutorial on that original post. Just click here.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Keep the inspiration going! I hope my project inspired you to create something special for the guys in your life. Be sure to continue along the hop for even more Male Room inspiration from the Stampin’ Pretty Pals. Next month will be Flowers in Bloom, so mark your calendars!

What a great idea for a guy… Although I suspect my hubby would have trouble figuring out what to do with it! It’s a wonderful fun fold, love the ocean scene.
Thank you Susan.
Rae, this is the first card that I have really fallen in love with using this bundle. I haven’t done this fold in years. Thanks for bringing it back to life for me.
Thank you Karen. Time to get folding!
What a cool nautical card, Rae! This fun fold really intimidates me, so I should probably try it once. I am considering this bundle, and you’re making it hard not to put on my next order!
Thank you Debbie. You, intimidated by a fold? I can’t believe that. 🙂
Fantastic card, Rae!
Thank you Tricia. Hope your knee is healing well.
Great card, Rae! The shoebox swap must have been fun!
Thank you Su. Yes, it was. All fun folds too.
Awesome beachy fun fold card!
Thank you Windy. I knew you’d like that one!
